New LB builder in Reading

How does resgistering the car work if it's a spaceframe chassis ?

what if I used all new parts not a donor car for example ?

the reason I ask is that I'm looking for a STR-ey personalised plate but don't know what year I should buy ?

[Guy Mayers]

I don't think it'll matter? If you use a donor you get an age related plate, if it's all new components (and you can meet emissions requirements) you should get a current plate and then it's just a matter of putting a cherished plate on it. What you can't do is try to make the car appear younger than it's registration date..

Exactly Guy. So if you are buying a personalised plate AND you end up with an age related plate on your car, make sure the personalised plate you want to transfer on to your car is from a car the same age as or older than the age related one.

is there any audio difference to having ITBs as opposed a single TB ?

pros seems to be better throttle response ? but cons are trickier to setup ?

or have I missed anything more important ?

cheers (from the ITB newbie) ... LOL

you can get more induction noise from itb's, but it depends if they are into an air box, or with more open type filtering

itb's can if done properly give more power or more torque... the length of the trumpets being important to extract the maximum

Dawie de Villiers offered me an engine similar to this one (2012)... a non turbo engine but with one huge inlet butterfly as opposed to individual ITB's



... could be an option ?..... easier to set up ?

I'm a fan of ITBs. Jenevey is only setup available for the Alfa and I wanted summat different - so I had my own manifolds designed and made and used some very short Jenvey ITBs. Just ordered some trumpets to fit. I know Craig at LB is also looking at ITB setups. A Busso V6 on ITBs sounds
