Re: Cold start difficulty

I have a out board engine hand pump under the dash. When I have not used the car for a few weeks. I pump untill I feel resistance. Pump the throttle 10 times and hold the throttle open and It fires 1st time.

When hot I turn the it over with no throttle then open up 1/2 way and again away she goes.

Re: Porsche Envy

Re: Converting BT5 to A

With a T5 B I have always fancied a S90 GT, basically a Carrera GT with a S90 push rod motor.
Louved Deck lid, GT wing mirror, Speedster seats, perspex door glass, petrol filler through the bonnet, and vynal interior instead of front carpets etc. If you are feeling flush 60mm drums.

Re: ARE 356 WHEEL STUDS THE SAME AS 911 IF SO I NEED LONG ON

When I fitted carrera spacers to my 356 A drums, i found 928 studs gave the extra length needed, but it was a long time ago and I can not remember the exact dimension.

Re: Just bought this

I had a red Italian delivered ( A/C delete S/R) LHD CGT for 14 years. It was registered TOY835W. It was a fantastic, special car with many unique festures. It possessed the same power (210hp) and weight 1000kg as a 73 RS, but better weight distribution as the transaxel was in the rear. The only issu...
