My car (128 8048) is currently at PBCM being stripped ready for what looks like a major welding job. PBCM only do the metalwork, not paint. I'll post some pictures on a different thread but I'm very confident about the quality of work. Knowledge of the car structure is very high and I love top class...

If you updrade - the Mitsubishi route is a good one, which I have followed myself on my 1972 Int III. Except I managed to get hold of a 120a from a supplier in Devon. Pretty much the same dimensions.

I just got back. Car behaved very well and I managed to eke out nearly 16MPG on the autoroute - not bad for an 8 litre. Still drives me nuts that the engine has to work so hard to do 80mph - I cant wait for the 518 box to give me overdrive.... As I got off the ferry at Dover this afternoon, the elec...

Le Mans 2010
After much prevarication, I've agreed to go to Le Mans this year in the Interceptor. I'm going Friday afternoon and will arrive there about midnight Friday - staying with 'Club Langoustine' - a not too crowded campsite with private bar and decent parking at Tetre Rouge corner. If anyone else is goin...

Definitely adjusted with cam in correct position....and the cam was smothered in cam lube and run for 30 minutes at 2500. I had the rods made from a kit from comp cams. When they arrived, I noticed that when stood upright on their cups on my bench, 1 or 2 didnt stand perfectly vertical (ie some cups...

I have a bit of a rattle from a couple of my pushrods. Bear in mind the engine has only done about 1500 miles since rebuild - and everything including heads, cam, followers, pushrods, rockers are all brand new. I followed the set up procedure of adjusting until the pushrod just gets a little drag - ...
