Having a son is a handy thing as I've found out as well.....it's worth the abuse they give and all of the 'old man' jokes for the work we can get them to do. 8-) My boy's just finished lapping the valves in on the new performance head for his Carlton. It was his first time so I had him do it the old...

Another use for a Jag V12, a chappy I know wasn't happy to just have 8 cylinders in his trike. :shock: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h235/MGMagnette/General%20car%20pics/Paulstrike.jpg We also have a guy around our way who imported a Viper complete rolling chassis and then fitted his split scree...

yes I agree on all counts. There are probably some modified cars out there that are death traps but the most of them are carefully and lovingly put together. Most of the rules actually stop you making the car safer because of the way the points work. Big engine no problem but upgrade the brakes and...

There was a bit of an early lunchbreak whilst the crew cleared the track. :shock: It was quite spectacular, the smoke screen at the top end where we were was so big that the only way we knew he crossed the line was when the time flashed up on the gantry. :twisted: Nice work Perry, can't wait to see ...

As one poster said, yes its all about balance. And with all due respect to the poster "JC." i've seen posting on here, his quote of "Hard front and soft rear, thats the way to make an MGB handle" is totally wrong.

I've driven a race car on Bonneville salt flats with solid mounted axles and believe me it's as bumpy as hell and makes keeping the car in a straight line a job and a half with constant high speed corrections. A lot of these people who reckon their car handles like a go-kart usually mean they've got...
