They didn't go to the National , but were playing football for England this afternoon against Germany

I really would not start rebuilding this engine until you are 100% certain that all oil ways and waterways are completely free of crud and rust. Simply running a hose pipe into the motor will not do. Have you checked that the hardened surfaces ie crank and rocker gear are all free of corrosion. SPL ...

A 1.4 Kseries returns over 50mpg in a Minor and the 2.0L Zetec upto 48mpg.

As Marky B, I sqirt in a blob of grease into the trunnion first. Check for play on the trunnions, do not fit them if you can detect any wobble or free play.

A mid week trackday, wednesday, but should be another friendly affair and a chance for novices to receive some first class tuition. This is a very worthwhile trackday at which its hoped we can raise around £2500 for charity. Here ia a list of cars already booked in, which leaves room for a few more....

Get the engine acid dipped to clear the oil and waterways, be careful of 'hardened ' surfaces which have been wrecked by the rust, I'd replace these parts with good or new ones.

The kit shown is a general assist kit to run alongside the standard springs less the lever arm damper. The O Burton/ESM front coil over kit runs along the same principal. You have to decide whether the coils are necessary for your application or simply use gas dampers. I'd rather go coils plus std t...

Think they have made a mistake Bill, its the 'roof' your meant to remove

Hi Abarth :D Hope you got home okay, seemed as if the box was complaining a bit ?. Refreshing to see the Cinq on track and putting in some good laps, real shame about the tyre though. Hope to visit LLandow a few more times this year so if you follow this thread I'll let you know when we are there ne...

Fiat TC turbo Radical ??

You will need a disc kit from one of the Minor suppliers/specialists. (research the market well before purchasing) these kits will supply you with all you need except for a header tank, optional servo and modified master cylinder.
Kits are all bolt on/off

Was that with the Radiacl Martin ? . There was a bike engined Raw striker did the same thing, on the bottom corner, made life a bit interesting when powering around the final turn
