My understanding is that you need a minimun torque to make lock the diff. So it would not lock if you turn the driveshaft by hand. For example the diff does...
Thanks for your comments. I guess it means that the maximum lockup for the Ranger is significantly less than the claimed 100% which sounds great in the...
What happened to the turbos? I'm not sure a quad barrel weber is going to make up for them. Looks like he may have mistaken the maser for an old chev or ford....
The power steering unit was made by TRW. According to the parts interchange list in the database section, similar unit was used in a Fiat 131 and that same...
One more question, Is the " Power Steering Rack and Pinnion" on the Spyder the Same as the regular Biturbo on the 87 model years?, Actually does anybody know...
Sorry for our US friends but I'll never understand how someone could race with an automatic transmission LOL . The engine looks a little bit dusty, is he...
I don't think it changed all that much over the years. Maybe by the time the Ghibli II came along it was different but a look on Eurospares shows the same unit...
The car is a joke, 200MPH??? Not even dropped from a plane. The automatic is probably a listing error. You could never drive Lime Rock with an automatic...
Mine started complaining at the 5th. Note that two of them were Mini, two Mini take place of one normal car. So I sold her Mini. And bought another one for...
Cliff, Do you still have the car with the hitch? Are you able to take some photo's of the set-up. My daughter has decided to do speedboat racing so I now have...
Am I mistaken, or it doesn't even need an expansion tank cap? Seems to have solved engine cooling issues in a big way. Now there's plenty of room for an oil...
Helder, This was discussed earlier this year. My '89 Spyder got a rebuilt one and the source is listed there. The brake fluid trick worked on my BMW power...
Hi, I've posted pictures of the hitch in the "photos" section for Biturbo Zentrum. Cliff ... _________________________________________________________________ ...

Am still on this part of 2.8 upgrade project. I bought a 2.8 flywheel and it fits on my 2.8 crank but a couple of differences with the old 2.0 flywheel: the...
Yes but it probably uses 1/20th the gas. So over 200 years you can come out ahead. Just make sure you exercise and eat right so you can reap those rewards....
Actually having sold my Mini did not change the overall cost. The Mini 1000 was replaced with a 2L Alfa 75TS (9L/100 versus 6.5L/100), the 75TS insurance cost...
Back from the machine shop: The 2.0 and 2.8 flywheels have different bolt circle diameters so are not interchangeable. So I'm having them put in the ~1mm ...
These are things you really should have done by the clutch (rebuilder) specialist. They can set your pressure plate up with the correct clamp load, re-drill...
Horrible looking it is. I plan to get one after I bring the Trabant here to keep it company. //One Smart costs as much as all my cars :) . ... This e-mail...
What about getting a steel flywheel made? They are much stronger and you can make it lighter and not have to worry about it exploding if you over rev it! When...
20 is a few! I have a friend with a private collection and i dont think he actaully knows haw many cars he has as they are stored all over the city in garages...
Hi Terry, My guess would be a turbo shaft seal is leaking in the exhaust side of one of the turbo's. If it comes and goes its probably not a valve stem seal....
