Re: under the bumper foglights

I have a pair of mint Cibie Iode 35's which may be of interest. If you would like I can dig them out this weekend and post a picture.

Re: Any advice on LPG?

I would thoroughly recommend an lpg car, we have two lpg workhorses a Grande Cherokee and a Dodge Ram Dayvan and at half the price of petrol it's a must as far as cost. The performance drop is not really noticeable and neither vehicle has ever shown any issues from the conversions. Provided you reta...

Re: Rsr tyres 9 n 11

I have a set of part worn TB15's on a set of 9 and 11 x 15 Compomotives which due to a change in direction in my project I was considering selling as they will be wasted sitting in storage. PM me if you would be interested. The wheels though fine and true, will need refurbishing and ideally I would ...

Re: 911 Hotrod/outlaws?

Whilst the hot 3.2 would give you more power for the 911t, I think the flat fan system in a 911 other from a novelty point of view would be wasted. Its a great system to have in a sports racer with a low rear deck, but in the 911 I don't think there is any advantage, in fact the bevel drive probably...

Re: Rolex Milli-Sub

The value of the Milli-Sub may almost certainly be due to the fact that not only were small numbers issued, but damaged unserviceble examples were ultimately sent for destruction. During my time as a Royal Marine in the mid seventies whilst serving with the 1st Raiding Squadron which was based in th...

Re: Special getting closer...

Unless you have changed things Graham, your engine like mine did not run with an engine mounted oil cooler just the external one. Mine uses the 993 oil filter mount as Mike mentions as it can be retro fitted to the earlier cars. So your cooling system should be able to remain as is, as far as layout...

Re: Special getting closer...

I would go the 964/993 route Graham, there are too many potentially stressed parts in that 3.2 to cause future problems. Your ancillaries should swap over with minor mods, and the flat fan and alloy casing for it should be able to be adapted. Speak to Crispin, I know there have been a lot of minor c...

Re: Special getting closer...

Great to hear your problems are getting eliminated finally. I would agree with Jonathan, rather than stripping that gearbox again now it seems to be sorted, why not make the jump to 15'' rims at the rear which will up your gearing allround and may improve things off the line with better traction. No...

914 hydraulic clutch

I am going to use a push type clutch in my 914 box to 911 engine and have the parts to make the conversion (new arm and pivot) but wondered if anyone has done this before using the release bearings that fits integral to the bellhousing such as those from Tilton or Quartermaster. Ooops I think I shou...

Re: Possible Brake Upgrade 2.4T

A cost effective upgrade to Alfa Romeo GTV V6 2.5 Brembo 2 pot calipers is another option which gives all the advantages of the other upgrade without the additional cost of changing anything else due to the shared caliper bolt spacing of 3 inches. It is a straight 'bolt on' utilising a superior stif...
