but they do take a bit more to get going. though it is fun to leave an oil slick behind with all the unburnt fuel(many classic owners in the midwest either haven't a clue how to tune a carb, or choose to run them so rich the tailpipe drips.)

Humidity went up or down? Adjust the carbs Temperature changed? Adjust the carbs. Going to cruise all day? Adjust the carbs. Hitting the strip? Adjust the carbs. Something doesn't sound or smell right? Adjust the carbs.

I'm sure people have mentioned my wish list already.
more free revving n/a engine (no torque dip, more up top) liftback even lighter! carplay/android auto (never thought I'd say it but it's awesome) led drl that's more of a solid strip than dotted christmas lights, also sequential turn signals would be cool more solid colors! |

Life was so much simpler after that, I did miss the sound though, but not the hours spent every week trying to keep it running smooth.

I *never* had to readjust them for street vs track, humidity, temperature. Never ran the car at altitude, I can see how that might be an issue... With the triples, a single pump of the gas pedal to inject fuel from the accelerator pumps and she'd start right up! Had to play with throttle for a couple of minutes to keep it going until warm, but not a big deal... Last edited by ZDan; 11-21-2019 at 07:42 AM. |

This is my only wish!
Don't care if it is the same orange and even a nice yellow is fine but these black, white, dozen shades of blue, hundred different greys and the occasional red sports cars are just not appealing to me. Just look out over any parking lot and there is a sea of boring shades that look like a black and white movie.

Lava Orange is such a great color for the FR-S. I hope they continue that with a new orange of some kind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
