Not so mystery engine, but of all the engines why that one?

[Roy928tt]

WOW ! Thanks for the heads up....

[Roy928tt]

Fabulous stuff !

Yes, 928's R US for parts and of course Rennlist 928 forum for all the knowledge you'll ever need.

I'm glad to have owned one, also happy to no longer own it. They are such a capable car that they are rather...

I suspect that Faux Forg has a handy suggestion....

Interest in motorsport is waning again, a few things are resulting in a lack of interest.

I recently realised that I've more than accomplished what I didn't really understand was kinda the aim in the first place. There had been the aim of...

I spoke to my 1HD FTE man, he tows a pop up behind at 110 km and gets as bad as 22 litres per 100 km it only weighs 1800 kg though and it isn't much bulkier than the vehicle (Doesn't have so much drag)

[Roy928tt]

Yeah given the other dodginess going on with the engine I think Bike throttles will be just fine.

[Roy928tt]

Ah, yes a quick search reveals plenty of motorbike throttles on ebay USA

[Roy928tt]

I think some sort of indication of what "horrid" actually is may be in order.

I have no idea of what a Landcruiser might actually consume, but if I were to see a number like 28 litres per 100 km whilst towing a caravan I'd likely...

[Roy928tt]

even more trouble for a bloody BMC A Series, it looks like it is made to suit the BMW K100 motorbike cylinder head, they've incorporated a 4 bearing crank into the bottom of it as well.

[Roy928tt]

This appeared on my facebook feed, my initial reaction was 'why billet such a long bore engine?' then the architecture was suddenly apparent. ...

[Roy928tt]

Woo Hoo ! I received a Cosworth cardboard box today, there were even some bearings in it!

So I loaded the relevant components, block, sump, crank etc. in the car and delivered them to Rhemac for them to do the tunnel boring job on this block...

[Roy928tt]

From the information presented, one would have to direct most suspicion at the camshaft.

[Roy928tt]

No I haven't yet, will check it out.

I caught an older Motorsport interview/podcast with Jonathon Williams and Dickie Stanford today, I was quite shocked to find that Jonathon hadn't driven an F1 car!

I started putting the hillclimb...

[Roy928tt]

Yeh, times are different, I've just had a package get from UK to Adelaide in days but took near 2 weeks to make it 40 km from Adelaide to Gawler. It's a time for patience and understanding.

[Roy928tt]

Yay! Ratios arrived.

Fondmetal F1 car

A picture of this popped up on my facebook feed this afternoon, and it reaffirmed my appreciation of F1 in that era. When many chancers with barely enough money tried their chance in the top tier of motorsport....

[Roy928tt]

If it says anything about the state of the world. The burr that the machine shop is waiting for, there is of course one of those at the deceased Adrian D'Guisto's workshop, because he made a couple of main caps for me.

Meanwhile who knows...

[Roy928tt]

WOW !

[Roy928tt]

How can the currency of a country that can't even keep supplies of fuel up to their service stations be worth so much?

Or maybe it's just that ours is so worthless because we can't organise to order vaccines when advised to by the vaccine...

[Roy928tt]

Chris hasn't managed to track down any valve springs, retainers and collets for a Mazda KL and is starting to explore other avenues.

Meanwhile it transpires that a Radical competed at Roll Racing at The Bend on saturday night, apparently...
