For Sale: JE 86mm pistons

Set of JE alloy 86mm high compression pistons, including gudgeon pin and rings. Were fitted to my 911 for approx 1500 miles before oil consumption problems meant a re-think. Full details on my build thread here: http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=58032&start=90 , but the e...

Re: Running/breaking in engine oil

I just asked myself the same question as I have (yet) another engine to run in. Based on Russell Lewis' advice I decided to buy a cheap-ish 20w 50 and a quick google revealed this: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-parts/engine-parts/engine-parts1/engine-oils/?521774601&1&cc5_251 As the ...

2015 BMW M135i

I'm losing the big garage and moving to a town, so the fast ugly BMW is going to have to go. I'll be placing an ad on PHeads etc shortly, but thought I'd give DDK first dibs and see if there was any interest here. BMW M135i Facelifted 'LCI' model (October 2015 delivery) with 320bhp 3 door Manual 6 s...

Re: 1973 2.4T CIS Restomod

I was wondering if I could fix the engine shroud or if it would need a new replacement, when I remembered that I'd previously found someone in Chichester who had done a very nice job repairing the car's old and battered rear bumper. This chap works in the boat building industry, so is skilled in rep...

Re: wheels and tyres 911T

I have 7 & 8s on my 911, I have fitted 205/60 and 225/60 Continental tyres, but might try 205/225s, which were the recommended fitment for the early 930s which use the same rim widths. My car has RS rear arches: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/300/31603063332_e64bfb388e_z.jpg https://c1.staticflic...

Re: 1973 2.4T CIS Restomod

Graham, I don't think Russell Lewis is going to give too many hard won secrets away! The original yellow shroud was looking a bit tired, so I decided to use some glass fibre paint to freshen it up: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2040/32495460740_df04350c2c_z.jpg Big mistake. It didn't go well: the pa...

They're still available from Porsche for a not-too-silly price, so I've gone for the shiny option.

Re: Rolls-Royce pre-eminent Aero Engine Maker and their cars

Evernden had been tasked to produce a Coachbuilt Bentley to build alongside the standard Bentley MkVI. Blatchley was employed as chief stylist. The brief was that it should follow in the footsteps of the 1938 4½ litre “Embricos” Bentley originally built in Paris, under the guidance of the Bentley M...

Re: Wanted: Fan strap

Thanks Mike,

The car's a late (July) '73. The Porsche PET appears to suggest two M8 x 45 Pan head screws for 1973 - even if the picture shows a single bolt:

I'll PM you!
