It would appear that the rubber couplings should operate at a zero angle i.e. perpendicular to the flywheel as opposed to universal joints that prefer at least 2* angularity. 2*?? :shock: Guess you work on Utes a lot? 8) Trying to keep it well under 2* here... this is the Flying Brick's tow car isn...

Garth, re: CAMS licence. Join any club. A hillclimb club, a drift club, a vintage race club. You don't have to race, just sign up for a licence after you've joined.

Yeah that's a classic. Really love those 75s, they look so beastly.

So, was the integrale fun? I doubt I'll ever be able to drive one in my life time :( Zamani, build up a 1993 Civic VX. No power steering, locks, windows, or mirrors, weighs 2200lbs. Best part, gets 50 mpg city, 57 freeway! It was great for the amount of time I spent in it. As I said, felt very well...

Nice car, but that is not the last model right? The one with the projecr lights on the main beam and equal sized headlights. I think I am done with Eye-talian cars for now. I would get a 156 GTA, but none here and the 75 race car needs most of my attention anyway. Since petrol prices are only going...

Mats, 180hp, no wonder you were upset by it's straight-line speed :) :) :) Well, the 16v cars is a bit more, 210 is it? But it won't do any difference really, with the Evoluzione you would get (rated) 250 hp but I can tell you right now that the drivetrain eats away pretty good at the WHp... The Le...

I just had a look at one like this (but grey). http://www.italiancarlinks.com/Lancia.jpg Great car, felt very 'together' and stable, especially after driving a 75. Fast compared with the twinspark. I'm really not sure what I want to do. The left hand drive thing makes sense now MD. I'll keep thinkin...

Yep, to discourage the use of LHD cars in a RHD country.
Why?
If it was dangerous they wouldn't allow it at all.
I can see no reason other than it upsetting the marketplace but the majority wouldn't/doesn't bother importing vehicles anyway.
