Re: Lancia Fulvia 1.3HF ...

Awesome car, and congrats on the packages from France! This thread triggers memories of the early nineties, and at the time neighbour in Houston TX with a restoration shop running many Fulvia's. Ranging from basic 1.2 to 1.6HF and Sport Zagato 1300 & 1600s with and without big arches, and as a v...

So now you need a '73 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Special and some well filled vintage dungarees to be period correct!

Re: what car for a 17 year old ?

Late model non-turbo 2010 Clio 4-door 1.2 16V would be just within your stated budget with a scratch and a ding, have 5-star Euro Ncap with all the airbags and ESP in the new body. And be simple enough to not have keyless gremlins to go wrong.

Best,

Steve

Re: Best tyres for a 912 (or SWB 911) ?

The VR 165R15 were produced because current German law requires a tire to be able to handle the car's listed top speed +10% to be listed on a new Fahrzeugbrief. Until recently that meant '67S and for example Toyota 2000GT and TR5 had to run incorrect tire sizes because there wasn't a V-rated 165 ava...

Re: Anyone heard of a rev limiting rotor arm for >7300rpm ?

Just don't add a blob of Araldite after qualifying or one of the other teams will report you (and get you disqualified) as the only car that isn't briefly hitting the limiter between two second gear bends in a single make championship... Not that that happened of course. Irony is we would have won ...

Re: Suspension advice on fast road car

Also, don't be swayed by the US trend of over stiffening the suspension .. they always seem to go OTT on torsion bar size etc etc Set the front height such that the track control arms are level static on level ground/bench This is really important - I'd even say set to this height and then raise th...

Re: E Type 888330

Awesome work! A sidenote to your gearbox thoughts; I really don't understand the "industry standard" of dumping the Moss and dropping in a modern gearbox. Just like a 901 takes practice and skill to flog around a Moss does too, but is very enjoyable and rewarding once mastered. I realise m...
