Orange Ruffy History

Post by WilliamMenzies »

Hi all,

A few months back I bought and 120y with a l20b in it from Havelock North. I was told it was refereed to as "Orange Ruffy" and it was a bit of a legend.
Looking at the vin plate it says it used to be turboed, but not at the moment. I was wondering if anyone knew the history of this car or anything about it? Much appreciated

Cheers William

Its a very cool little car, bit of handful to drive but very fun at the same time. Bit of a learning curve on the twin su carbs trying to tune them but we will prevail. Any tips for general tuning? done plugs, scraped build up off dizzy cap, balanced carbs and set mixture correct. Any other things worth doing?
