Hi

Tried these guys?

Not much choice now, run the Nexens myself. Good tyre, handling fine, noise a bit less than Toyos previously run. These though were previous gen Toyos.

Have to add in cost to get garage to fit them, up to £30 for the 2.

Cheers

As long as you didn't add my silent 'David', Brian

I'll be there as three generations of Burtys (son & grandson) ...but having just added an Alfa (Guilia Veloce) to the stable I'm attending with a different hat on. Will come over and admire the Coop selection.

Haven't broken the news to my 20VT yet so expecting a sad look on his face tomorrow morning and if the weather goes sour he'll blame my choice of car!

I have always fitted and run Toyo tyres - 225/45 R 16.

I now need two new tyres, but no one seems to have them in stock (back order with delivery in June).

is there a good/better alternative? I need them in the next few days

Different for both sides. Haha I'll need to check the spelling with MadBob

Just changed a cv boot today, a bit fiddly as I don’t have the kit for the hub nut and then appropriate torque wrench.

The circlip is somewhat fiddly but the joint came apart quite easy. I’ve fitted a cv boot kit bought from Alternative autos, so hopefully this lasts a while, as it seems good quality

A quick call to Joe for some advice on rear handbrake set up, so I’ll finish that job tomorrow if it’s not raining

Finally experimented with a product call Berryman B12, to see if I can degum the oil control rings. Anyway it’s a take the plugs out, get the pistons at an even height across all cylinders and pour the chemical in.

Anyway left it in for 4 or so hours and then siphoned it out of the cylinders, dropped the engine oil and filter

Refilled with fresh oil and apart from a bit of smoke at start up, all appears normal.

A Quick Look down the cylinders with my eBay bore scope and the pistons are shiny

My thoughts are linked to oil consumption when on track. Normal driving( even spirited) the car doesn’t use a drop but on a track day I can burn up to a litre of oil.

So I’ve given it a go to see if it does anything, good or bad as I’m back at the ring in early July

On the contrary, that is behaviour one would expect from a Regional Rep

Today I spent a wonderful morning washing, claying and waxing my coupe.

I was so 'in the zone' that I ended up detailing the gas and elec meter boxes.

There's no hope.

Hi Joe,

The spec will be the same as was except for the slightly bigger bore. Maybe that'll change in the future but for now I want to get it running. I still need to get it registered in Texas and I think I'm being fined every month that it's not registered after importing it. I can't register it without an inspection and insurance so I need to get it driveable first.

I'll try and update the spec on my web site over the weekend, there are a couple of items that are out of date.

Could I get 1 x blue key and 1 x blue oblong?

Thanks.

Lovely job Rosso, thank you.

I put down my silent first name of Charles on the form for the Italian Club - didn't want to get in trouble using my second name. Is their any way mine could be changed to Simon please? No worries if this is not possible.
Many thanks
Simon
