Hi matt, Fortunately this incident did not occur with my car. The photos represent an Alfetta sedan I purchased to turn into a race car. I noticed this problem when I started to pull it down in preparation for the usual things you do to street vehicles to turn into dedicated track machines. Neverthe...

Johnny, I think you will find that you should be able to install the complete "A" frame with all the hardware in place in one go. Matter of fact I am about to make a jig that will do just that all in one go but in my case, I will use you a hoist to lower the car onto the assembly. You woul...

I have said plenty already about how much I dislike the driveshaft make up in these cars but recently I discovered that a broken drive shaft is a potential death trap. Why is this so? It is so because when the driveshaft coupling/s let go, the driveshaft thrashes about under the transmission tunnel ...

Well, the planning and thought that has gone into building that "bike" is just awesome. Not to mention the engineering skills to make it happen. Barry, I take it to be just an exercise in sheer fun to see if it could be done? Thanks for the pics by the way. It's one of the most amusing eng...

Welcome,

Hope you scored the hot bird to go with that great looking unit?

Can you post some pics of the modification and what these doughnuts actually look like?

Totally agree. For a street car, supercharger is the sweetest option. May not develop the insane power of turbo but sure is usable power when it comes on song.

MJ Agree with majority. Except. Don't suggest changing ride height. It will just give you more dramas to sort out and London to a brick ,you will be putting it back to where it was. Cheaper choice anyway. Spend the money elsewhere where it will count. Mild supercharging would be better value. Otherw...

MJ A question like this gets a wide range of responses for obvious reasons. Here's mine : If your criteria is similar ride comfort to the original then you need to stick with the original "spring" rates. However, you should increase your front sway bar size to reduce body roll. Increasing ...

Mats I dont' service other peoples cars so I have no knowledge of your claim. What I have is personal experience and the engine pipe (on a second car)and manifold are fully lagged and I have never had a problem along the lines of what you say but I have heard these claims before. In Oz, this reduces...

Marco,

If you are considering a replacement pump, check out the main unit from and old Volvo 240 GL. They are tough as nails and have lots grunt. You wil need to change the mount a little but it could save some bucks in the process. I say could but I am not familiar with your local prices..

Pancho, I believe the purpose of these things is to minimise radiant heat impact on the rubber engine mounts, if not that then usually something else that is sensitive like a wiring loom running close by. The more insulation the better so if you can line the metal with an asbestos free insulation ma...

Engine pipe heat shields? A photo would help..

Yes I do mean David. Edited the original. Thanks for the pick up.
Must have got side tracked pervin' on those birds... it's a sad world isn't when you cannot concentrate for more than a millisecond !!

I gotta change my brand of sniffing glue...

I bet they're packin' their bags now David.. I see you're a bird fancier too!!
