Re: "Patches" MD's Final Racing Project

MD , when I made drastic changes to my gear box cooling and moving to redline oil I significantly reduced the breakages . So more cooling in my 40mins races means better crown /pinion tolerances …. I think .. it was not mere coincidence but really did have an impact

Adrian’s lightweight Giant Killer 2.0

As the heading suggests this car has always been a massive thorn in the sides of big V8s it’s had to do battle with over the years . I remember racing against its in our Trofeo series back 2007 but I needed 3.7 power to get away from it … probably mainly due to lack of driving skills but down the st...

Re: South Africa - 1982 GTV6 2.5 Restoration (50/100)

Re: V6 12v Individual Throttle Body

Zamani explain what you mean ?
The design of what ?
If airbox you talking about then you can use the original airbox .
