Yeah the limiter is a bit crude and seems rougher in the lower gears or if it is approached quickly, but when you just sort of sneak up on it in top mine is seems much gentler. Dont know why but that is the way it goes. Probably got a lot to do with the mechanical advantage of the engine in...

Autobahn. No biggie. Just have to keep one eye in the rear view mirror at that speed as there are some fast cars out there!

There is no way that you would have a rev limiter cut out the way you describe unless something is seriously amiss. It should only cut out till you get back to 6500ish. Maybe a couple hundred rpm but no more. Funny thing with mine is that on part throttle in 5th gear it sneaks by the limit...

Funny that. The roads clears when I drive my old banger of a 300TE 4matic but approach at 220 in the Willy and the buggers are a bit slow clearing the passing lane! These Germans have been taught to respect the star but the little frog cars have to earn their respect.

Change the pads for sure for the track. I went with DS2000 and they seem to be doing the trick. Real improvement.

Lovely, but for half the price you could have my far more experienced one. Ed

Not sure what the numbers were but it was a 1.6 litre BDA of some description. Jennings built the vast majority of them and the weak link was the block. The block was routinely replaced in the rebuild. It would develop cracks aroung the main bearing webs if I remember correctly. Mine put out...

Now I know what my problem is! All my grey matter must have been sucked out by the BDA in my F/Atlantic RT4 back in 87. I knew there had to be a reason...now that makes sense. Dont forget Michelle Mouton in the list girls! Rallying...my favourite! Nothing quite like flying through the...

They will be fitting an Ecotek I hope... That will cure all of those problems in one fell swoop. The Chromium Plated one works best. Make sure you specify it. I is worth the extra cost. Ed

They love the ugly ones! Have you seen the coincepts? Everything will be looking like an Avantime before these guys are through!

Yeah most of the old sixes were. Im pretty sure the chamber was in the head though. Never saw one in bits. I avoided them like the plague, although I had a 64 Chevrolet with the old six and "three in the tree" as we called the column mounted gearshift, shich was cooler than an automatic...

Bit of a bug here. I went away to get a link and came back and the message with another link was gone! Check out this site which is the official ring site. There should be lots of links from it...

Damn, I tried to find Pagids and ended up with Ferodo DS 2000s. Just put them in today along with a set of front rotors. Well at least they will be better than the OEM brakes which were Ferodos as well... Ed

There is still time this year...come on over!

In those cars it was WOT all the time unless you were on the brakes. But that was the cheat at the time and it was virtually identical to the Ecoteck. And a whole lot cheaper! The engines were horrible OHV pushros non-crossflow straight sixes with a carb that would look right at home on a...
