Morning all. Can anyone confirm what the mounting hole to mounting hole length is for std Sud front arms and what the same distance is for 16V front arms? As my front suspension is a bit of a corruption of various bits just wondering what the effect of both would be? Might look at making up some adj...

Oustanding work as always Kev.

For every 3 dBa increase the sound doubles in volume so 10dBa is a huge increase.

Hi Guys. thats a weird one? I posted a reply to some of the questions on Sunday but it hasnt registered the post. I probably did something wrong... Gearbox has a billet sump at the moment to help with strengthening the casing. I did think about putting a 145 sump on but havent found my spare ones ye...

What a day. What a very hot day. I have never had before where even my driving gloves are wet from sweat :shock: Started on hard tyres and stayed on them for rest of the day. Liked Mallory. A suggestion for all the racers out thee is that if you dont like the rumble strips my solution was to take a ...

Looking very nice

Pt III Unfortunately after doing all this work the car was still about 5bhp down on when it was set in Dec but we think this was due to running on forest tyres and the previous occasion it was tarmac Yoky's. Anyway that was the Wed, Saturday saw us at a venue called Down Ampney. An old airfield whic...

pt II so to do the camshaft oil seals you have to strip the front of the engine. Ok lets time the camshafts up on TDC before I drop the belts off. Thats weird the marks dont line up with TDC on the front pulley. Check the flywheel, that isnt on TDC. Put the flywheel on TDC and the cam pulley marks l...

Hi All.

On my 1400 going back to a std plenum chamber gave an increase in torque over an extended straight inlet length that meant the air filters were just under the bonnet line.

The plenum has a longer inlet tract than the custome setup. So does cc also modify whats needed?

Hope all goes well with the collection and return to base Kev

Entry is in for our first event of the year at MIRA near Nuneaton on Saturday April 26th. Non- spectator event this one but they are always in need of marshals. Organised by Quinton Motor Club One after that (barring probs) will be Down Ampney by Cirencester on May 24th. You can usually get into spe...

Morning all I didnt get the brass speedo drives done in the end. At the time there wasnt a lot of interest and the cost was more than I would have liked. From memory it was going to work out about £80 each if I had twenty made and I couldnt afford that. I can remember someone saying from Australia t...

Thanks for advice so far guys.

As soon as I can get rid of the manflu I am planning to try some of them

Thought i'd be the first to post. We were lucky a couple of years ago to find a 1.8 W reg 146 with 23000 genuine miles on the clock with all the paperwork to proove it. Anyway couple of problems at the moment. 1. regularly has to have the 30 sec reset as it starts hunting at idle. Once done it'll be...

Car looks brilliant Kev
