80's chod

[Father Ted]

 

This was in dads loft, all seems to be there... Might have a crack fitting it to the Micra - at the very least may make it look like a minicab.

Pleased to see it switches off above 120mph. Because if you're doing that, keeping an eye on the economy is the least of your bothers.

Bear in mind the Micra's fuel pressure will be 3-4 times higher than a carb'd car if you choose to wire it in.

Maximiser - what a great name from when digital stuff was still all mythical and exciting.Definetly fit it if you can - what a great mod for any 80's car.What about 2 of those rubber rods that you fix to the rear valance to prevent - something? and 85 reflectors dotted around the bodywork* to give that minicab look lol.*extra points for reflector craftily placed over rust hole.

Everything from car sickness to ebola, via swine flu and dutch elm disease.Actually I think they only actually prevent electric shocks when leaving a car, and do a dubious job of that even. But they seemed to have mystical powers according to my grandfather who religiously put them on every car he ever owned.

Ah yes, hadnt thought of that

These things are always much better in a box in the loft than fitted to a car.

I remember being fascinated by a very similar one fitted to my uncle's purple Mini Clubman estate, he always had it on "instantaneous" rather than accumulative mpg, so as we went along Great Western Road in Glasgow, it would rise and fall with each set of lights we had to stop at.

I feckin love that. Give me a shout if you decide to flog it it would be ace on my (carbed) mk4 cortina
