Just a quick hello

I wonder if the EFI cars are any better? Probably not now that their electronic components are over 40 years old...

Wasn't there a twin carb conversion kit offered by Connaught or someone back in the day? Or maybe that was only for the early cars. Either way, a pair of sidedraughts would be interesting on a DS!

Apparently the EFI are better on the gas but then they should be..    I didn't know about the twin carb conversion and the model that Murray (WeberSpecialities) is offering is the DGV.  Not a side-draughtbut immensely tunable so the pundits say.  Even to tandeming the butterflys and accelerator pumps.  I don't know any of that stuff... 

I do want one of those early superchargers.  40% more power I read somewhere.  That would be be useable.

Ooh yeah baby!! A supercharger would totally suit a DS too:

I found one for sale last year (can't find the link or I'd post it).  It was a fully reconditioned Sapelem charger and looked awesome - ready to bolt on.   At the asking price of 5000 GBP it was out of my range.   Basic research shows that a Suzuki Barina supercharger, fitted in Japan or the States, had much the same specs as the original accessory - though I guess any specialist supercharging outfit would be able to sort something fairly readily.

Of interest to me was the magnetic clutch which could be operated as and when required.  Tootle around town and then surprise the boy racers...
