No details as to cause yet. Car will be at my workshop later today.

A sad sight indeed.

Hope he's OK - I presume the car's a writeoff ?

Someone spotted a Mk2 on fire on the M66 this morning

Hope the owner is OK !

When installing my AE111 4AGZE into a mk1 I moved the sensor to the manifold and it runs fine

Because the rubber in the mount also degrades over time

Busybodies from militant cycling lobby groups are claiming that the train driver "revved his engine in an aggressive manner and deliberately veered toward the cyclist in an aggressive move to knock her off her bicycle." The shocked cyclist told journalists, "I can't believe what just...

Is there going to be enough belt-to-crank pulley contact to transmit enough power to drive the SC ? ( experience of slipping belts on 4A-GZE ;( )

Try swapping the wheels to the front - if they are out of balance you'll then feel it through the steering.

Not if you look upon it as essentially a new car - and there's no way a new car with that performance would cost as little as £25K !

Check the engine torque mounts - if they're knackered it could explain the jerkiness

Good point Mart, i'll ask him if he wantsa replica building, problem is i fear by the time labour is added on we will be way over £16k. Figure out how much a replica would cost, then see if he's still interested at that price. If he is, great - you've got some business. If not then it's more inform...

Good decision to keep it

If he wants it that badly quote him a price to build a replica

It really is just about the ultimate Mk1

If you can lift the nose of the car high enough you may be able to drop the front of the tank enough to get at the pump without disconnecting all the pipework

This - unless you're fitting carbs or ITBs or are doing other major mechanical mods to the engine there is no point replacing the stock ECU with an aftermarket one unless you just want to get rid of some money for no real gain

You have refitted the pulley the right way round haven't you ?

Most folks just pop a cone filter onto the throttle body (with a short extension pipe) and leave it at that. :-k That is pretty much the best idea, it gets more cold air supply in the bay than the sidevent can supply piped into the boot, no need to do anything else :thumleft: Or fit a cone filter i...

IIRC the ECU activates the SC clutch based on a combination of throttle position, manifold vacuum, and rpm.
