Fitted one to our race mini, made it so easy to dial in. Need to fit one to Beryl next.

That it pretty worn isn’t it? Certainly not helping.

If anyone wants to lend an original pair of spoilers I can 3D scan and make them.

T’wasn’t me! Ask @cobraboy !

Nice installation of the V8! Nice to see you back.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the car as also asymmetric. Yet to find a car that is!

Which actually will help @Baron von Marlon situation. If he had to make it rich at idle to get decent performance under load he wants a profile the enriches off idle and allows correct mixture at idle. Best options to test it are either a rolling road or a wide band O2 sensor in the downpipe.

The carbs and needles seem to have stayed close to what I had setup for the standard cam. However, I did feel like I had better fuel consumption after 100 miles. Maybe due to a lower throttle opening at cruising speed.

I was a little worried about that too, fortunately it was a cool day and the gauge never really went above normal.

The loads on the nose of the cam at low speeds is much higher, a faster rpm helps reduce the loading during run in. It’s just the rest of the engine takes a bit of extra work.

All good advice, obviously I always run with nothing in the boot/cabin on the track for safety reasons. The spare was replaced with a fix a flat can a few years back for the weight savings (although on the drive to the track it’s full of spares and tools!). The driver, however, has not been...

Copied and pasted from my Members projects thread. I thought others might be interested in my findings so far. After some family related stuff I have finally got back to the car. The fast road camshaft I had reprofiled by Piper Cams has been sitting in its box for 6 weeks giving me the eye. I...

After some family related stuff I have finally got back to the car. The fast road camshaft I had reprofiled by Piper Cams has been sitting in its box for 6 weeks giving me the eye. I was able to get into fitting it this weekend. First I had to remove the old camshaft. You know the routine if...

Got to admit, I've not seen a spring like that on any valves I've worked on.

I’d been told in the past that the asymmetric fan blades were for a diffused output. I spouted that then did some research to cite. It was only then I found out it was the noise reduction that drove the shape. I still stand by buying from @cobraboy though. He’s a top chap.

To further drag it away I found I was wrong (been doing that a lot recently, apologies) turns out the asymmetrical fan blades reduce noise while keeping efficiency. Discussion thread. As for buying from @cobraboy I’ve just bought a LHD manual steering box from him and he was great to deal...

Oh, interesting. Every day is a school day.

Spring goes under the clip on cap of the ‘flying saucer’ white housing. It applies a small amount of pressure to help the valve seal.

It was never book practice to remove the gearbox with the engine in situ. So I think it was a happy coincidence.

Actually they were asymmetric so the airflow over the block was more dispersed. With a symmetrical pattern air flow tends to be straight back. With the asymmetry it tends to form a pronounced cone of air covering more of the block and engine bay.

Maybe someone will buy you one for Christmas Chris.

Looks a tidy base to work with! Excited to see progress with the build.

Hi, I’m sure @cobraboy will be along soon. In the mean time why not post some photos, we like photos :)

You might have more luck in the P6 Electrics section This thread walks you through repairing the rather odd delay switch.
