A number of people have wanted to fit a twin choke carburetor to a FIRE engine, and I've mentioned that someone has done this on a FIRE engined Fiat 500! The chap in question is Neil, and I spoke to him about this last night at the ACE Cafe. His car has a load of pictures on the following website, including some detailed pics of the carb and adaptor plate.
Neil told me that he used an SPI manifold, a Fiat 128 3/P carburetor (very similar to the twin choke Weber fitted to most 1116/ 1301cc ohc engines), a Punto 75SX camshaft (I think he might have used a 75 head going by the intake manifold adaptor plate) and an electric fuel pump. He also tells me it is all set up and runs well!
Anyway, for some pictures of what is involved have a look here, and click on the link 'Nigels FIRE 1108':

I know that one of you is working on this idea already, but who's going to be first to fit one into a Panda and post up the results?!!!
