DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I hope Sladey will forgive this question: A ramp like his needs to be floor flush in my instance which would mean creating two recesses in an existing garage floor of unknown depth; the house I have was built in the 80's, the garage base and house base 'cast' at the same time. How much concrete do ...

Does he really need one ? A competent DIY mechanic with a brain could find out where that's going surely - eh ??

If it was my cooler ............. I would want some (very minor possibly) flexibility in it's mountings (ie - NOT bolted up tight - metal to metal) Don't be telling me "that's the way the factory did it" or anything like that .... it IS possible to do better !!! Me likes the car and the co...

Power will increase when combustion chamber gets a layer of carbon on it ............... I don't know why , but it will !! Guess 1 to 2% positive. On a rally engine it was after circa 500 miles from memory - but related to run time I expect rather than distance. Note this was deemed to be related to...

What do they look like ? are they the same as anything ? Could a late 1970's 928 one be the same ? (big giant left hand thread ..... ?? screw in type ??)

Motorcycle demand is high (in all areas / types). Summer "time" is here .... weather on the up - go anytime from now !! CB175 sold within the last week at classic bike auction (check on line it might have been H&H) - price fair bit less than your's , but not nearly as nice / well done.

A Citroen AX is the one really. 640kg for a whole car makes you wonder how a Caterham can possibly weigh as much as 500kg. There are so many glorious engineering details on them and they’re super-aero. Just typing this made me realise how much I want one. I wonder what you could get one down to wit...

Good - glad it's sorted ! Problem ? - wrong sensor ? (bill them for your time !! ?)

Any more updates on this re build thread since 2020? Lots of work done (most of it in last 6 months of 2021) - will maybe take some more snaps and post them here. Difficult to see the work that goes into it. Some stuff that sounds easy .... like organising to fit twin master cylinders for a balance...

What about something like a Kia Ceed - your budget should get you some easily only 2-3 years old with another 5 years manufactures warranty left on it? Another good idea, I've been impressed generally with Kia and a friend has had many of them and loves them The 7 year warranty is "attractive&...

If other Ups are anything like my GTI - I would suggest one of the lower powered ones , not sure what the TSI type would have depreciated to in a few years , but I would have thought inside yr budget. Fabia hard to beat , but a change is probably "desired" by main driver ? (If not - repeat...

There you go https://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=69167 BTW there is a link at the top right of all pages underneath the date that reads 'View new posts' which may be useful to you Yes , familiar with that one (have posted to it many times , as has most of the Western world ) ...

What engine thread ??? ..... can find nout !

It sounds like some folks know about these things ............. my 2p : Don't just "bull in" and rewire , you'd be kind of miffed to find yourself back at square one X days later . STOP , think ,measure, check, manage, it sensibly... find the root cause - fix that (or at least engineer a w...
