Well Mats after seeing all those Swedish travel logs, I thought I would post a couple of the sunburnt country for ya.
Hey Dennis, look these up in your travel guides mate..
Well it's time to drop the shorts and show you what I got. It's a 164 conversion. Took me about 4 years from plan to floor pan but the pain was worth it. You know it's ok for you guys in the States or perhaps Europe to poke about with these cars because the parts should be readily available being hi...
Just a quick note. I run 47% and it pushes like the proverbial so I suppose the key question is, where do you want to use it? If it is for street, I would not suggest using more.
TS_turbo Glad to see somebody is actually thinking about this item because it is a great racing shift solution. Yes, you are correct that you will have a mirror opposite shift pattern but as Mats says, that is easily rectified. I actually had this pattern in my car for about six months as an anti th...
Hey Pancho ( I've always wanted to say that !) :) OK mate. Are you talking about insulation which is what I think you mean? If this is what you mean, then the answer to your question is a personal one. The job of the insulation is to reduce cabin noise and heat transfer. If you are not concerned by ...
Mats How about all those engines running just fine for plenty of miles on mineral oil, wouldn't they wear down the rings in a year if the mineral oil caused this type of accelerated wear? I don't belive this is the case. This is probably due to a couple of reasons. After the initial "bedding-in...
Hi Mats I don't think you got a reply about your use of mineral oils to run in a new engine (if that is your question). We use a mono grade basic oil to assist with bedding in the new rings and bore. Once that is done, we switch to a multigrade -mineral or otherwise. The use of very slippery oils in...
Hey Mats have you got something stuck to your shoe again?
Half your luck Fernando. Wish I could just get a sniff of that AVGAS let alone pass someone. Only thing I've been passing lately doesn't belong on this forum but it does resemble methane.
Hi Don, Well in my opinion the answer is no -unless the system undergoes a radical remake including hand made ducting under the dashboard. This means a custom install just for this car. The majority of the original bits if not useless, they are second rate and should be replaced anyhow. Speaking of ...
....once more with a feeling As to where you get one of these guys, well the best I could do was to provide a start with the link above but it is bit of monster to sort through and I must admit I myself have not found the actual details there yet (I am working on it). But it is a start for all you f...
For those of you who are interested in an alternative to my selector could consider this commercial proposition from Xtrac in the UK. The following photos are of an installation in a front wheel drive vehicle so you have to imagine the linkages going the opposite way. What is at issue here is the ex...
Hi Tim, Thought I may as well chime in from left field. Your original idea of making a small recess around the base of the studs for the anti seize fluids to well up and soak was definitely a good idea. An extension of this idea is to use a long tube- like bimetal saw which should be the length of t...
