Yorkshire Tea and Choccy HobNobs if I know Lou!

Ok lou,

Send me a piccie if you could please, and give me a tinkle perhaps tomorrow when you have 5

I like fuchs!

Do you still have the 85bhp engine stuff Tim?

I think i know someone who could use those parts

Whats the drivers bolster like lou?

I have some GT momos for the van but always did like the 916 seats!

That assumption sounds about right to me colin, the shimming arrangement is clearly quite different on mechanicals to the always on hydraulics.

These are all valid points, and sadly they came about along with a rather sweeping movement towards making illegal all aftermarket parts or modifications. Specific to hid's, I'm afraid the corsa boys who fitted them with no regard to beam cut off and height, blinded so many folk they became a notabl...

I'm sure that'll fine mate

I agree, I've been using 10/40 semi synthetics in anything from diesel vans to superbike engines for years. My personal favourites are the Motul and Silkolenes, from experience i have thrashed the shiz out of allsorts of motors on them, with no failures or significant wear whatsoever, held up very w...

Thank you lauren, much appreciated everyday is a school day! :D So fella's, i think that concludes that HID Xenon conversion is by far the best way to go, on all performance related queries for sure, BUT, if you have weak or untrustworthy circuits and wiring for your stock set up now, then you will ...

They do look good Liam, lovely colour choice, and i have to say that the 14's will suit the Zender kit very well i think.

Let me have the pertinent sizes and i'll see what i have mate

That motor sounds very similar to the one favourably referenced earlier, minus the crank, i think!

I loved it Liam!

Yep, completely concurr mate, that what i was trying to say with the Depth of Penetration thing! :lol: It looks bright and white whilst facing it, but usable light as the driver is weak :( One more thing i meant to put in the longer post, was that a HID conversion kit, is actually less current draw ...

Have a butchers at this chaps. I have fitted a couple of H3 type of boxed/brand kit previously, and they've got even cheaper since then! For the price of a pair of "Blubs" can you think of any reason why not to give them a whirl? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/55W-HID-Xenon-Conversion-Headlight-Canbus-E...

I'll point to a kit shortly, but to answer a few points first, yes, the dedicated kits include lamps (bulbs to the leyman, although i would argue bulbs are what daffodils grow from! :lol: ) that fit in exactly the same way as your existing halogen lamp does, so h1, h3, h4, h7 etc are all replicated ...

That sounds like a lot of power to be putting down on a single rear wheel. Would sound quite something as well as not much length on an exhaust on a sidecar. :lol: Whilst i agree the exhaust would be very interesting, sidecar outfits have coped with notably more power than likely from that engine s...

If I'm brutally honest, I'd say save your money and dont bother with them. What these are is a halogen bulb, with a traditional tungsten filament installed, but with xenon gas rather than halogen, and so the claims of up to 60% brighter are utter hocus pocus if you ask me. What i would expect from t...

here are some oddments https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compomotive-13-Inch-Turbo-Split-Rim-Alloy-Race-Classic-Mini-Splitrims/282677746277?hash=item41d0e81a65:g:xuQAAOSwqfpZ0ghc and these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compomotive-Wheels-13X6-4X95-25-metro-triumph-mg/322986694740?hash=item4b3381d854:g:15IAAOS...

Sure i'd found some of those for sale in the week Tim, i'm always on the look out for the stupidly rare 15" versions, which i think were a special order but they were made just in tiny tiny numbers. the 13's do come up from time to time, no bargains, everyone knows what they have and the buyers are ...

You know what Liam, i don't think they were anything other than standard 105 head valves, i seem to recall that only the inlet valves had been upsized, which i believe was a fairly typical class c stunt, just sneaking in a little bit here n there! the 1600cc engine, no matter how you get there, does...

and me

Ooh wheels!


my kryptonite for sure!


and cash, need cash,


buy more wheels with cash!

Blimey! theyre a price aren't they!

Let me know if you go ahead and buy any, otherwise give me a nod and ill have a dig round my stock of old centres and compomotive stock bits, never know my/your luck!

ok lou

I'm all ears, but i suspect you may have to be pretty nifty about it,!

Show me Tim?

let me see if i can't weave some nott's charm!

Wicked!

Hi all up for sale is my eldest lads 159, which is a 2.4 JTDm 210bhp Lusso. is an 07 model, with 99k on the clock, and lots of history and spec. its been largely unused for the last 2 years, my lad being a plumber needed either an estate, which i got him, and on many occasions got a works van too. i...

If he did, its quite likely i ended up with them! I recall having some single lobe race heads and cams off BLS in there closing stock, but i'm pretty sure they are sold and gone, but for some reason reprofiled twin lobes seems to ring a bell. I'll have to have a good look round for them, see if i'm ...

I have original diamond pattern recaros for sale,

But they come with a project P4 surroundingthem too Dicky!
