DNS seems fine. I'm getting a connection refused, like the server isn't there, or the net interface is offline (or unplugged).

Actually, early 1.7s ('70-'72) need premium (91 octane, at least). They have higher compression than the '73 1.7, and MUCH higher compression than the 1.8s.

I don't know about 8g wire. That's pretty huge. 10g is plenty, btw. That's good enough for 40A, and if your amplifier is drawing more than that, you need to worry about your alternator, as you...

There's a fair amount of room in the boot. You pretty much have to remove the boot (leaving all the wiring in place), then use a screwdriver or the like to hold the lip of the boot open while you...

Strictly speaking, Joe didn't really say anything about needing "bigger" brakes, just more fade resistance.

As for the swept area comment, I disagree, to a point.

As you say, pad area helps...
