No let's not forget the hits - Peugeot 404 coupé/cabriolet, Peugeot 406 coupé are two I can think of.

Indeed, and I also have a place for the Lancia Gamma coupe.

BTW has anyone put that engine i ...

It's been 7yrs since I logged in after selling my 33. Nice to see some of the same folks about.

Since then I've had a Saab 900 turbo and BMW 325 in Melbourne. Then moved back to NZ and got a Volvo ...

Alfa recomends castrol multitrax for the 33.
Castrol Multitrax is particularly preferred for vehicles fitted with
transaxles that combine gearbox and hypoid differentials and for
improved gearshift ...

yeah burgo, sorry mate. I'm off me meds!
playing too much online gaming with 14 yr olds has given me a quick mouth and a bad attitude.
Don't go... maybe we can convert you.

your probably right. sorry.

Calibra: can be lightened, aerodynamic, and damned sexy to chicks. Looks damned mean when tarted up with wheels, bodykit etc.
Now that'll really earn you some respect, especially with the "chicks".

I dunno. but i've got what sounds like a single bamboo windchime buried somewhere deep in the bulkhead.

Wow guest your dick too!. do you know that fella?

I forgot to ask, where's it going? out the exhaust? on the garage floor?
What colour are the plugs looking? compression? smoke on start up? etc.

My car is a tad older than yours (86). But if I have the dedication, I'll change it three times a year. But usually it's only two times. Because we go from the 40's in the summer down to freezing in t ...

there's variety of tubes of stuff to put on the seals. I use siliglide, sorry I bought it in the states. But it's just a tanacious sort of vasaline type stuff. doesn't melt at temps in the sun and wor ...

I guess you need a spark, fuel and compression. You say you have a spark. Perhaps pull the plugs from the cylinders that aren't firing and see if they're wet/smell like petrol. Do a compression test. ...

I'm sure you know what your doing with your head.
My mistake. I just copied and pasted something i wrote relating to manifolds, port and polishing. and yes..laminar, not linear.
Mirror is good. yo ...

By polishing the inside of the air manifold the breathing efficiency can be increased by reducing surface friction on the inner surface. That, and polishing the inlet ports of the block are probably t ...

those are custom K&N filters. I've just modified the base plate with some stainless and a tig to fit the way the old panel filter ends did. The original alloy ram tubes are great. I just took to them ...

Ok, here's my last attempt.
Does ANYONE have any idea about what might cause missing at low temps? I usually experience it only on cold starts and hear a sort of sip sip from the carbs. I figure it' ...

My step father and i put a 12a rotary in a beetle. adapter plate bolted onto vw box bell housing and on went the 12a. I don't remember where the adapter plate came from, but wasn't expensive or very c ...

I mentioned in a preious post about a sort of sipping sound on cold starts, coming from the carbs. I wonder if i just didn't hear it when i had the panel filter in. custon K&N's now.
I wonder if anyo ...

check your fans/fan are rotating in the correct direction. If for some reason the polarity was screwed up in the radiator change, you will be pushing very hot engine bay air through the radiator when ...

beware of over filling. the oil light is for tourists, not rally drivers.
Fill to the right level and don't worry so much as long as it still goes vrooom! penrite 30 hpr for that motor
Start over f ...

have to agree with dave on that one. The 8v will be bullet proof compared to the 16 for rally. how tight are the tracks you race on? If they are fairly tight, you may benefit from 36mm carbs and a sho ...

the clutch is hydraulic, you can't adjust it as such. If it's just play, then have a fiddle with the pedal. Otherwise it's worn. any slipping?

For those of you not following the 48 cylinder creation thing ( and those who were), here's another piece of whacky Kiwi shed engineering.

I'm not sure if it's the custom K&N set up that I have, but cold starting seems to be a little more of a struggle. The start itself is no problem, instant. but as it grumbles and farts (no choke by t ...

It's Kiwi backyard ingenuity. If it wasn't for people like this guy, we wouldn't have seen things like the Britten emerge. http://www.britten.co.nz/ Anyone who knows what the Britten is, knows that b ...
