Gearbox oil

Our American friends say this stuff is pretty good in gearboxes. It's Swepco 201, just wondering if any of you guys have used it?

Re: engine rebuild

IMG_1345 (1).jpg IMG_1344.jpg IMG_1346.jpg The rebuild is dragging on, I knew it would take some time to get all the maching done because my CNC wielding pal was overloaded with race engine rebuilds and as I had no race dates to meet I had to take second place. No matter, all the work has now been ...

Re: I'm freaked out. Found old photo online of my 356A

Fantastic news!! I have no previous information on my 356 but I'm hoping that someday I will find out that it belonged to this gorgeous blond Californian lady who is recently divorced with a mega bank account and a home on the Pacific coast near to the surf breaks at Encinitas and that she will do a...

Re: engine rebuild

IMG_1294 (1).jpg Took my crank over to the machine shop. It was like taking your child to school for the first time. Will it be OK? Will it pass the magnafluxing? Will they radius the edges? Will they polish all the journals. Will it balance out alright? Picked it up on a swelteringly hot day and t...

Re: Retro Rides Weekender 2023 @ Goodwood

I went to Retro Rides on Saturday mainly because they were advertising circuits of the Goodwood track for £65. I did realise you were not going to get the full track day package but 3 ouitings of just two laps didn't even get your tyres warm. Unless your name's Hamilton it's difficult to go full cha...

big bass speakers Re: engine rebuild

I'm not posting any more pics of my stunning interior because all of my associates have been taking the p#ss out of me bigtime over the colour and type of material, but do I care? No, because I've just bought a complete full hide of lovely lovat green leather and will be re covering my dash top and ...

Re: Retrorides Weekender 2023 @ Goodwood - Club Display

Sorry chaps, can't make the Sunday gathering, but I shall be there early Saturday morning for a few a few laps of the circuit where I'll try to keep the 911 off the green bits. Damn that red mist.

Re: Classics at the Castle 2023

Re: swapmeet

Any more thoughts for a May - ish swapmeet?? There are a few possible venues locally i.e. decent fields with pubs attached but locally means down South which is not much use for anybody North of Watford or beyond.
