I wouldn't have thought it is an issue as long as you washed it off with car wash fluid in the normal car wash way.

Have you tried Burton @

www.burtonpower.com

If not try calling Neil at MK Sports Cars. If he cant help he may know someone who can. Probably easiest to send enquiry on their website

https://www.mksportscars.com/

I've now filled in the form on "uberniche" twice and haven't heard back.

Does anyone have a direct contact as I would prefer the Big Knob, over an extension.

Good Luck with your purchase. I went to GP but got a better car privately through Blatchat. Amazingly the chassis numbers were only 50 apart.

Whilst I didn't buy from GP, I felt that they were genuinely inteterested in the outcome. If I ever change, they will be on my list to visit.

I also looked at Sevens & Classics at Brands Hatch

If it is club members making stuff for club member's, I think it should be OK whether they make a profit or not.

Hi Jon

I've sent a WhatsApp with the info

Hi

Could I have the Spitfire manual please and can you post to me??

Hi Rod

It's

Have you any pictures and how much?

I have a 1997 car and mine just push out. I do not disconnect until they are out as its much easier that way.

I saw one on th eBangers & Cash web site a day or so ago. No idea of how many gears though.

For cutting cable ties I have a pair of "End Cutting Pliers" Mine are 150mm and the smallest I can find, so far, on the net are 200mm. Toolsation have them but at 200mm long.

I've had mine years which came in a set and, I now have no idea where I got them.

If anyone is interested I have magazines from the January 2021 issue up to October 2022.

If anyone wants them they are available to collect from CM11.

If you want them sent, I will investigate cost.

Hi Mark

I have PM'd you as I would like the shower cap

Hi Mark

I'm interested in the shower cap.

My car is a 1997 so I assume it will fit. Would you know.

As fuel cost is about £35. could let me know delivery cost please

Ray

The problem with Rivnuts is that they can spin when trying to remove n the future.

My rear wings are fixed with these, as the picture. Unfortunately, I don't know what they are. I have tried various searches on the web but can't find them. So if anyone knows what they are I would appreciate it.

Is this up and running now

Thanks all for the info guys. 

I now need to find a higher ratio diff. I think I read in the build manual, or somewhere similar, that they do 3 different ratios, being

4.125

3.99

3.77

Or there abouts

I have a 1997 1.6 X-flow with thermostat fitted and don't get overhating issues

Thanks Jonathan. No picture though, but I assume just drill through the part that moves, when it opens/closes part of the stat.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the info. I have now checked and get 16 turns of the wheel to 33 turns of the prop.

I make that 1.03.

It was originally a race care so I wouldn't be surprised to have a lower ratio diff. But 1.03 doesn't sound right to me. I did look up some blurb donkeys ago and thought the lowest Ital diff was 3.77.

The question is, have I made a schoolboy error? Or is it correct. As a matter of interest I can easily accelerate from 35mph in 5th gear. Another reason I thought I hade a low ration diff.

Any thoughts, or polite abuse if I have made a stupid error, would be appreciated.

I have read at various times about drilling a hole in the thermostat to aid filling.

My only question is what size? I assume no more than 2mm, but would like advise.

This would certainly help me as my cross-flow only takes about 4.5litres on initial fill and many top ups therefter to get to the stated capacity.

I have a 1997 S3 and would like a spare wheel carrier for it, if anyone has one they no longer want.

Hi Steve

Can I have the Timing light and Synchrometer please.

If you could PM me, we ca take it from their.

I live in Billericay.

Can I check the diff ratio without removing the diff.

I assume I can when in the air by counting wheel turns against prop turns, but all I have found is how to do it with the diff removed.

I'm interested as the speedo against Google maps suggests the speedo is about 10% out.
