Hey all. These wheels were made by Image Wheels in the UK. They're a split rim with one of their standard rims bolted to the back of the custom casting. They are 17/18 and if memory serves an extra...

5th is the only gear that requires you to push on the cable. Check the retaining nut at the shifter end is tight. Interestingly it's not shown in the parts diagram. Here's a still from one of my...

If you can't get 5th even with the crossage adjusted too far to the left (where you can't get reverse)? What exactly is the failure? The stick moves but there's no gear to find, or the stick won't...

There's nothing behind it.

He gets 5th and reverse though?

If you can get reverse and 5th, and 1st is where you expect, then it doesn't sound like an adjustment issue. In neutral the stick should rest between 3 and 4. If it isn't, and the stick is stiff, you...

Afaik renault stopped doing the A610 clutch when they sold on all the classic Alpine parts. Lee has reproduced an equivalent and takes his heavily modified GTA turbo racing, so they get good testing...

For updated clutches, talk to Lee at Renault Alpine Tuning Services (RATS)

Thanks for your message. None of the 2.8s have the balance shaft, you only find that on european spec 3.0 engines and that timing cover makes the DeLorean belt setup tricky. $500 shipped for the cams.

Looking to get $1500 for the engine with flywheel and bellhousing ONO, plus shipping. Getting a quote together from a pallet shipping company now.

A set of Maftec turbo cams (3.0 re-grinds). Fits any 12V even fire PRV with solid lifters. Good for around 300hp from a 2.8 with back-cut valves and light port work at 15psi (intercooled) $900...

Hi, I have a late complete B280E efi engine which I was going to use to build a turbo monster, but life got in the way.

The block is the last generation strongest type with thick walled 91mm...

From the 90s Griffith onward, they're all EFI AFAIK. Pump control on mine is the ECU.

Kunifer is fine for fuel, as it is for brake pipes and is commonly available this side of the pond.

My TVR has an in-line heat exchanger on the AC return.

Apparently not....!

The reason for demand-driven pumps is efficiency. Not sure why saving a few tens of watts is a big enough deal to reinvent the wheel on our 35+ year old cars but hey ho,...

Pipe insulation is closed cell. If not sure, scrunch it up under water and see if it acts like a sponge or just wants to float.

The tank is pretty tightly wedged and can't come out until the coolant pipes are removed. I've never not needed to pry it out from the...

You still have a return line and it's still bringing heat back from the engine'e injector rails. Unless it's neoprene foam you've wrapped around the coolant pipes, it's likely helping the tank heat...

You don't have to imagine, you can look it up. As an insulator, you want a low value for thermal conductivity.

neoprene*: 0.19W/mK

polyurethane foam of the type used to insulate household hot...

If the job of this "dam" is to deflect air flow under the car rather than over the top of the chassis, then it doesn't matter what it's made of or how thick it is, so some light aluminium sheet would...

Indeed. Can you explain how the arm is loaded along its length in anything other than bending (carrying the car's weight), and along its own axis in compression and tension?

All the failures I've...

Someone on the old forum FEA modeled the system and proved the lower arms do not benefit from being "boxed", something that is pretty obvious with a bit of basic structural analysis. All the "boxing"...

To not account for periods when it *might be* would be lazy engineering. This is why driveshafts are always offset either fore or aft.

CV joints should always have at least 2 degrees of angle in order for the grease to circulate. Running a joint perfectly straight is a surefire way to have it fail very early

Brake pads were more effective when made from asbestos
