Yes I used to wake all my neighbours up at 8am on a Sunday run...

Best bit was on the way back home... zoom down the short road to my close hit about 4000 rpm where you have to back off to turn ... let the engine to it's work...

sound to wake the dead and make my neighbours look rather funney

at me.......

Price less......

Was a great car..bestest 912E out there.

My recently aquired #1346 is still running sweet on the Bosch L-jet but will eventually go the Megasquirt route utilising most of the original FI hardware initially. I'll have full mapable ignition too.

I was won over after feeling the difference a similar setup made on a US FI type 1 engine. And looks dope as.. running with no dizzy.

But it's a steep learning curve and there's a few more pressing jobs to keep me busy for now.

Cheers, Neil

#1346

Is that not the Chocky Monster out there? Good to see another '12E up north. I think that make 4 around here now

Keep taking it 912Easy

Thanks for the interest, s’pose I’d best start a new thread & introduce myself proper. Just waiting for the rain to stop so I can take some pics.

Boz, just up the road in Warrington (for now)

Wow you certainly know your 12E’s Rick. Originally brown but painted silver in 1999. How’d it get that name then?

Sorry ar_kid,

I have you mistaken for another {still painted Chocky Brown} '12E in the North that lives near Blackpool. That makes up 5 around here now

.
You, Boz, Nik, my friend in Huddersfield Steve B with #381 and Fudge.

Infact it must be that the number 912E's residing in Blighty

has gotta be in double figures now

Keep taking life 912Easy

remember my white 912e went to Ireland

Hiya Nig,

I guess that move was after the guy {Mark?} from Birmingham purchased your old E. I know of another Red E in Ireland. #143 IIRC.

FWIW Steve B is impressed with the old FI stuff he got from you. Fudge {#576} will be acting as a 'yardstick' for when #381 is coverted back to FI from twin 40mm Kadrons.

Boz, then there'll be a pair of 12E's within a mile of each other

...if I can resist using it for work.

The more '12E's the merrier

Hey... that looks fantastic ar_kid! I'll show you mine if you show me yours! LOL!

I'm gonna be there from about 8.30am. Be cool if you could blag 20 mins off work and bring your car over.[/quote]

Unfortunately it’s a ¾hr cycle ride each way and then I'd probably miss my 10 o’clock brew! -god forbid.

Would be cool to compare cars another day though.

Hey Boz n ar kid,

Maybe, just maybe you me and my mate Steve B could get together somewhere up north for a possible 912E round up. We are based near the M62 in the Huddersfield area and could meet you at a halfway point.

Nice E you got there ar kid. Looking really good there. I notice that your aerial is on the opposite side to mine and what kind of door mirror is that? Steve B has a simular looking one on his Talbot Yellow E.

Keep taking it 912Easy
