My orange 1000 coupe I have owned since about 1992
White 1000 coupe I've had since 1999
The caged 1000 coupe I got last year

When you get rid of the VVL, how do you lock the cams in the retarded position to get the best high-RPM out of it?

Some old adjusting nuts had holes drilled through for the cotter pin

The later Sunny used a plain nut with a sheet "castle"

I've owned the original Defect (120Y) and what was the parts car, (now The Defect III) since 2001, which is 18 years, and it will be getting rebuilt again soon, as the rust in the roof is getting to the point where if I don't do anything, I'm not going to have a car... I could look for another shell, but finding a better shell isn't that easy, and I need to learn how to weld... So farm hack or road car, it'll need some love spent on it...

vq30 chain cover can be used to eliminate vvl and give a better old school look










However I wonder how this engine the VHR? VQ based changes the chain setup at
the top and runs somehow in a V configuration or more like the ka24de

looking for an a14 or a15 in any condition preferably cheap. Just want one to fix one up and rebuild and have it ready for the day I buy a 1200.

A high school buddy bought our car in 1983, we bought it the following year. I've purchased 3 parts cars over the years. I probably should have kept at least one as I've got enough parts to have a fun street car.

As an update. Sadly no joy with the genuine parts, however as an alternative, high tensile M14 x 1.0 thread is the standard thread on the modern freestyle bmx hub axle. I plan on machining the slots to create the “castle nut” for the split pin. Should be good to go from here.

This one, about 14 years. Which begs the question, when did you first get a 1200?
I bought my first one September 1974.

Not many engines can have flat plane cranks by the looks of it
only L4 and v8 engines but not v12 as they act like an L6
The balancing tube should cancel out any reversion that could
interfere with the setup but will be interesting to see results.

For webers single or doubles the manifolds are not optimum
for all applications where different lengths could improve
those after street tunes but most weber manis are designed
to fit into the engine bay.

However by tinkering I found the longer than length of the
runners the fatter torque that I could get for the street.
I used to make my own quad cv carb manifolds of varying lengths
and the longer I made them thanks to 1000 having good space
for them the better response I had everywhere.
