See, now, that's what I'm talking about. Nice and simple, and maybe not quite show quality, but very clean and easy to work on - I need to get started on mine!

You can't use the ida with a wrap around manifold. The IDA is a downdraft carb, it must be vertical. The weber DCOE is a sidedraft carb. The DCOE is used with the wrap around manifolds.

The difference is it's only a drawing and it actually looks good.

What's the point of painting your engine bay purple and green if the outside of your car is boring white?

The battery REVHED uses is the best available in Oz, its great but only comes in yellow/blue. I have the same battery. Its a qustion of priority of function for the critical components. I admit thinking of repainting mine to match the engine bay, but decided the11.2grams extra weight would adversely affect performance.
