Re: Ethanol free fuel - help in Scotland!

The stuff completely screws up carbs, trust me! I don't want to rip apart that nice new 3.8 on a yearly basis. What I want is someone that is willing to supply a few drums of the good stuff; i.e. non-ethanol fuel. Once you all over here (I am a yank) start having problems due to E10+ you will unders...

Might want to add a Precision Shift Joint from someone like Stomski:

Re: New Bentayga

I used to hate SUVs, ... I mean what is the point? Need room, buy an estate. However the wife is on her second Macan, now a Macan TT. It is fun, but generally I would rather drive my S4 Avant on a daily basis. My wife is small, short and I understand why she likes it ... The new Bent is an improveme...

Ethanol free fuel - help in Scotland!

Hello,

Is anyone in Scotland able to find Ethanol free fuel? Alternatively does anyone know of a reasonable supplier to deliever a barrel (200Litres)? I have priced Classic Fuels, but at ~£600/bbl it is hard to justify when I don't need leaded fuel; I just don't want the Ethanol.

Thanks Chris

Re: I made a big mistake!

Sounds like you got off lightly in my book. Try an engine out "service" once! Anyhow its sorted and you don't have to worry about that issue for a long time. 174k miles is alot; be prepared! I have about the same on my '71. She runs good, but dig deep?

Re: New member

Always cheaper but less fun to buy one built. The problem is getting one that meets your standards.

Re: Wevo Gateshift - experience?

Hi Ian, That is good feedback. The 915 is being completely rebuilt by an excellent shop. I asked for a Gateshift to be installed. Its ~$800; however the engine is costing me a bucket load of cash so why not attempt to get the best 915 I can get? I originally figured if I added the Gateshift then I d...

Wevo Gateshift - experience?

Hello Is anyone currently running a Wevo Gateshift? I am undertaking a comprehensive 915 build to support a "proper" 3.8 for my '71 and I want a solid 'box that I can beat on. Wevo recommends running their PSJ (race?), Wevo shifter and then you could add shift tubes ... it gets very expens...

Who builds / rebuilds boxes for Singer?

Does anyone know who builds the gearboxes for Singer? I am having a trans built for my 3.8, which is based in LA for now.

Re: New Member - Aberdeen Scotland

Here is a picture from the 2018 Targa California. It was a great trip. I have since had the "comfort" pack removed and have a great suspension installed. The clutch did not survive the trip so an engine out service etc was carried out before the next year's Targa. After the 2019 event I de...

SWB mirror to Longhood?

Does anyone now if a SWB mirror will fit a Longhood? Really will it sit at the correct location once screwed into the overhead to be usable?
