Well Merry Christmas Everyone, and a Happy New Year I guess too. Just a short note for anyone who has a 140 series, and is looking for a steering wheel boss...
Thanks Paul, Which year model are you ordering? What are the contact detail for the company as I'd like to get hold of one also. Thanks! Alex. Help STOP SPAM:...
Alex, Any auto parts shop which sells autotechnica products should be able to order in the boss kit for you. I'm just going through the local spare parts shop...
Alex Almost forgot, mine is a 1972 142S So they have ordered in Kit No. 211 Paul http://movies.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Movies - What's on at your local cinema?...
Hi, gang Happy new year and all that other stuff that comes with the change of Gregorian calendar... I've not done anything further with my V70R engine ticking...
It is important to qualify this brief. If looks & image are the important criteria, having it look high performance, then go with the drilled & slotted option....
The general consensus on Turbobricks seems to be that 240 brakes are the one aspect of the car that doesn't require any improvement. Many high powered 240's...
I would like to fit 164 vented rotors to my 144 rally car. Incidentally, it has a single brake line system, not the original dual system ( Ease of fitting rear...
When i was looking at 240 brakes, i noticed that the thread to fit the hose end into the caliper was a slighly different thread. Metric vs imperial perhaps??...

Hey Steffan, What oil are you using? Its just Ive solved a few problems with New clients by getting them to put the right oil in their cars. Just a thought. ...
I have to agree here, I have guys (Into rally and Track sports) comming to me on a regular basis to see if ive wrecked a V6 Volvo wanting the Brembo callipers....
The reasoning for my original question about slotted (preferably) or cross drilled rotors, was that I hope to be doing a few more track days and hillclimbs...

No worries tony, I have had one of these fail before on my '79 245, so that's one of the things that gets regularly whenever I'm looking over it. Many thanks...

Heya, Tony Thanks for the response -- loved your response to my request about recommendations for servicing, etc. Not sure what's in the car at the moment, as...
Thanks for your reply Steve, I have sent off an email to EBC for curiosity sake but I think for the time being I'll go with standard new discs and a set of...

Steffan For high boost R turbos, the recommended oil is Mobil 1 0W-30W(maybe its 40W). More expensive than gold, but that's what needs to be used to satisfy...

Hi Steffan And Mary Christmas and a hippy new year to you. I'd be surprised if the ticking is coming from a big end. A quick way to check is to get the engine...
Steve Abbott writes - As Anthony said, Mobil 1 is the way to go, even though its about (gulp) 10 bucks a litre. The 0W-30or40 is near $20 / litre. I enquired...

There's nothing wrong with reusing oil..................I once had a '76 244 with 750,000+kms and it used to use so much oil that i used all the old oil from...
Is Synthetic Oil really that good or is it mostly marketing hype? I favour a quality diesel engine oil as they tend to be higher spec than petrol only oils....
