Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

There are these posts here which may help with someone in the same situation, particularly ‘hot wiring the fuel pump via the fuse. I take it that putting the Loctite on the cylinder head temperature sensor does not impede it earthing? https://www.impactbumpers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/37485-32-car...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Just thinking out loud here, I see in the pictures you have a TOAD alarm, so is the immobiliser shot, or not actually working, or did you remove all that gubbins in the rebuild process?

Re: Anyone else had this issue?

Rear handbrake pads - spring come loose inside the hub or piece of grit in there? What happens if you pull the handbrake on slightly whilst driving?

Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

Thought this may help you, but the link in the forum goes to some Chinese web page, probably too old a link? https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/ps-design-create-porsche-911-influenced-watch.477943/ Saw this as well - a matching JET to go with your 911s! https://www.designboom.com/technology/embraer-...

Re: Using a snap-on timing light

What distributor are you using?

I have a spare Bosch 0 231 169 009 - JFUD 6 which looks almost new you are welcome to borrow whilst you pull yours apart if you want?

Re: Tyre sizing?

Been looking and if it’s definitely possible to run 195/65s I may option for Pirelli cinturato all season SF2 r15 95v XL tyres. £82 each. Anyone tried them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If it is of any use then the Auto Express covered the Pirelli P7 last year in a tyre test with 10 others......

Re: Tyre sizing?

The middle number is the percentage of the aspect ration of the tyre height, so 185 ’55’ means the height of the tyre is 55% the width of 185mm

185 ’70’ means the height of the tyre is 70% of the width.

So basically the 70 has a taller sidewall height than the 55, so will fill the wheel arch more.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

The two front cars are Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. KKV 394 was Russel Brookes 1981 RAC car, so the picture is probably around that period.
From the flag, the Ulster Rally or Circuit of Ireland about the same time, British Open Rally Championship rounds, think MINTEX were sponsoring it back then?
