AC Mk11 Classic - available March 2014

Then of course there is the elephant in the room, the DVLA and their born-again zeal over type approval and Q plates! I wonder how all that can possibly work? These are brand new cars, but produced using 1960's methods and technology.

Just when I thought my mind couldn't be boggled any more.....only wish I could understand the half of it, but I'm no multi-talented engineer. The stuff of nightmares - you couldn't make it up.
   
   You have my unending sympathy & respect!

Share the same experience with return less fuel injection. Switched to fuel pressure regulator with return line and installed a non pulse pump or switched to non pulse with return line and regulator until the standard high volume pump was available.
   
   Even the suppliers for this kind of equipment recommend to go with return line if possible because the returnless systems have too much restrictions for temperature range, hp and so on.
   
   My first wish for EFI TBIs was PP as well but changed my opinion to a product having smooth idle and transission in mind so i ended up with the ATOMIC.
   
   Even with multipoint injection a dash 6 fitting is enough as long as it has a full flow inner diameter, so you did the same as i did before with my car and EFI setup.
   
   Love the TWM 8 stack, you have an awesome car, congrats !

Good news:)
   The first parts of the new 8-stack have arrived at Autotrend.

You are a genius and a master builder. I am just flabbergasted by your talent.

[jbottini]

I am simply amazed by your determination on this vehicle..congratulation!

Wonderful pictures and some real nice locations.

Rob,
   I think we are all stunned in to silence. Not just the engineering genius, not just the locations, but a photographic display which even Nik Bagshaw would be proud of.

Ha! Too kind, Sir.
   Fantastic to see that you are finally reaping the rewards of all that hard work, Rob, and I hope that some of what you learned will assist your friend with the FiA!

[SJ351]

Rob,
   
   Please share your background with us - you are incredibly gifted.

[Rob.Hendriks]

Stephen, I'm just another boring ol' engineer, that happens to like women, the odd beer/vino and almost forgot... cars [;)]

[shep]

I'll drink to that! Rob you have done a magnificent job, and if AC Cars had you, they would now be turning out 50 cars a year. More power to your elbow.

[B.P.Bird]

Terrific job Rob. Demonstrates the difference between proper engineering and the sort of amateur tinkering which many of us are limited to......

All opens OK at my end,  Typical IT ,  Switch off and try again.
Have experienced similar before,  switched every thing off, rebooted and as If by  magic,  all up and running as normal.

Great thread, Have to give credit to Rob Hendriks for his engineering skills and his perserverance.   
When God called out Patience, I must have been  queuing for a hearing aide.

We can all learn a lot by following and revisiting this thread... ;)
