I think it may have been the bellhousing that i supplied for that Ralt that made it worth the £113,000

I've fallen over the following things recently Jedi undertray/diffuser £45 Bare FVL tub £60 (planks & floor) FVJ 8v ECU £125 FVJ engine wiring looms £30 FVJ bellhousings £35 Koni 8212 x2 Koni 8012 x2 Lovely pair of Bourgeault magnesium rear uprights £140 (Bourgeault?....that will keep you Googling) ...

I reckon the lightest duty starter cable on your local motor factors shelves will do fine. Prob about 8mm overall dia. Race cars are not churned over endlessly in freezing weather - and are usually started cold with a jump battery on separate wiring - so whilst you get a little voltage drop with a l...

....and Anderson shelters as well.....but you'll be too young to remember them!

You'll find both used.....& both will work... but the bigger ones are easier to connect to decent sized battery cables & perhaps tend to give less aggravation

It never ever used to be quite that shiny!

There was me hoping it had lain idle in a wet shed for 5+ years & would now be my kind of car..... but instead it seems shinier than ever

Hmmmmmmmmm.......... This reg seems to me to be just asking people think carefully about what might happen if they hit something & a wishbone becomes detached. Why not look carefully at your car & decide if there is any practicable modification that would protect you from an errant wishbone/ or defl...

"........Dry sump systems are much worse because there is seldom a relief valve on the scavenge circuit. Slipping clutches are sometimes employed to mitigate this....." I had hoped to keep clear of this... however (a) i'm not sure i follow the quote above as surely the scavenge circuit consists of o...

No no no…..i’m not at all convinced by this Believe me Tristan …I know all about blowing up engines. Your area of expertise is in winning races & championships & securing lots of fastest laps but MY expertise is in having those long depressing conversations that ensue whilst I look at my (or a custo...

Why would you want to do this with production derived engines in race cars that don't need to be started in very cold weather anyway?

..... we look like travellers.... I have pointed out that our truck is far too old and we pay far too much income tax to be mixed up with that group. Just to put on record that there is at least one reader of this forum who finds the way a discussion of trucks can move so easily towards a sneer at ...
