- sorry Martin, you might think its boring BUT having seen it in the flesh, the original colour is cool as f#ck.. . . . Yes it's orange-y, and yes you've had an orange car before ( many, many years ago though remember..) -but the colour is great, it's not a boring orange, and who has ever regretted painting a car the original factory colour ? ?  The original colour of the car is that nsu burnt orange , and all that have seen it on the car think its the dogs dangly bits , all apart from the guy who owns it  |

Ok Steve I looked and can not find the paint code for the burned Orange. It maybe a VW colour as my car is a 70S and VW took over NSU in 69.
You dont think Porsche Olive would look good then.

Hi Martin,
Grab a colour chart for the new Fiat 500's. seen a couple of cool colours on these recently that would really suit the NSU. In particular a shade similar to Porsche Olive

This will be a great "Old School" addition on this car. If you use a magneto like you mentioned some where along the way, it'll just scream "Nostalgia!" If you haven't mounted a fuel cell yet, a couple of suggestions. Most desirable is to mount it fairly close to the fuel pump. Above the tranny would be ideal. Then a short #10 feed line to the pump is all that is needed. The fuel tank should be no less than two gallons. This setup will use a little less than a gallon of methanol on a pass if you drive it to the lanes and back to your pit spot. A little less than a half gallon if you tow to the lanes Or.... I included a Kinsler "Vapor Separator" tank. Basically it's a surge tank. Mount this above the trans and the fuel pump will draw from it. All the by pass lines would connect to this surge tank. Then, use a larger fuel cell up front and feed the surge tank with an electric pump. A simple feed loop does the trick. A line from the front cell to the surge tank, and a return line from the surge tank back to the front fuel cell. This way, the surge tank stays full (as long as the electric pump can keep up with the motor's demands), you can fill the car with fuel in the front, and the injector pump gets a solid fuel supply. Your "transfer" fuel pump with need to be on the order of 140gph to ensure the small surge tank stays full when the motor is a full throttle. You can also simply run a fuel cell up front for the pump to pull from, but it would need to be mounted above the fuel pump and you would need a BIG feed line with VERY FEW bends. The feed line would need to be #12 at the very least. Whichever way you decide, the system will support well over 300hp on methanol if the motor build will handle it. The motor below is 2332 with CB CNC Comp E heads, and makes about 260hp. The Blue Car has gone 11.38 at 119mph at 1900 pounds as pictured. When we had the CB Strip Dominator heads, it made 288. Our car was too heavy and needed more gear to make those see their full potential though. With the boost in low end torque that methanol provides, that should provide quite an exciting ride in a short wheelbase car! It'll run cool too. It'll use a lot of fuel, but it won't get hot. I've never seen my head temp get above 200°F even when driving on the street. |

Thanks for your post Mike the plan is to put a fuel cell up front think im going to need some weight up there. As for a pump I got a black Holley here already to use. I would like to run a 10second 1/4 in the car as Super Street class over here is a 10.90 index, and it always nice to go up with the V8's from time to time.
Kev I do like the brown that is on the new T5.
Lee will pop in to Fiat and have a look.
Martin
