  1. Just had a no expense engine rebuild to my Superlight R and avaialble are my Forged pistons and con rods if of interest to anyone on here 1st?

    Pics are of 1 but all are in similar condition but I can send more pics to any potential buyers - They will need new bearings as the existing ones are done

    (Please someone tell me if they think otherwise)

  3. Hi Guys,

    I'm thinking of a re-spray given my car is currently stripped - I had hoped to use someone local but none that I know want to tackle a full re-spray (only panels)

    Can anyone recommend or suggest anywhere Nottingham / Midlands I could try please?

    Many thanks

  4. Hi Guys,

    My K series SLR lump is due a refresh, DVA have no availability until the New Year and given the engine is currently out I was hoping to get it back in sooner

    Anyone know of anyone who may have the skill, appetite and availability please?

    Many thanks

  5. Hi John,

    Michaels CRB upgrade involves a replacement bearing (Burton Power HD3260) and a modified carrier to suit 

    I've also done your spring upgrades and have the later strengthened clutch arm which was further modified and strengthened

    On a recent Blat my gearbox developed an whistle which was intermittently present with clutch in and out, idle and under load.

    It didn't sound like any prev CRB failures I had ever heard (on other cars) but on removal last night the CRB is raspy when spinning and there is slight play

    This has lasted 10 years and 20k miles and not the end of the world as the g'box has a small leak so I will get a refresh and the engine is also due if I can find someone that can do it anytime soon. Oh and the rear main needs doing again 

  6. Hi Guys,

    I did Michael Calverts Blat Chat CRB upgrade to my K series SLR back in 2010 and just had the gearbox out after it developed a whistle. The CRB is shot so has failed after 20k miles

    I can easily but another item from Burton Power but before I do, I wondered if anyone else had replaced and if so did they source anything else?

    Many thanks

  7. This is probably a long shot but I have an R500 silencer I am going to try and fit to my SLR

    Its a larger bore and a shorter fit than my current CC and Raceco fitments

    I have a fabricator to make me a new connector pipe from my 4-1 but he has asked for a drawing

    Anyone have any silencer drawings or something that might help please?
