Sean, what are those 10" wheels called? Also what does that pipe that comes forward do in terms of performance?

Force Racing rims.
And the "ram pipe" probably does nothing for performance, BUT it does make the induction roar more acceptable, and MAYBE it helps performance a little as it get cold air.

Isn't the ram pipe supposed to add a bit of low down torque?
RE: Seans 1978 1100DL - Sean1380 - 09-17-2015
So they say, but I really just put it in to move the induction noise away from the bulkhead.

I'm gonna need some dimensions and angles off of that one of yours.

What was your fuel consumption on the trip to JHB?

Jay I think we worked it out on the chat to be in the high 7s (l/100km) if I remember correctly. Sure Sean will correct me if I'm wrong.
RE: Seans 1978 1100DL - Miniac - 09-18-2015
High 7s would be considered excellent by me, my daily is sitting at 11.8L/100
