F100

"It will be one of those things to be seen in with your arm out of the window while cruising" Couldn't have put it better. Decided to stop messing about with stuff you spend loads of time and money on, but is never worth what you spent never mind the time. We know a song about that don't we Tone? T...

Your falling into the trap of thinking that carbs are are easy. Easy is fitting the EFI system, turning the key and it starting and running fine for the rest of your natural. Granted, the original SU or Stromberg options are a bit lame and needles have to be changed if you fit free flow filters - K&...

It was a few quid - think it was about 17 grand to do in the end and he did a lot of the donkey work him self. Was sold to a chap in Scotland quite recently for 13 1/2 grand. Before we launched into it, we looked at lots of trucks all over the place to get ideas but almost without exception they wer...

Just thought I'd post this picture.

If you want wiring advice, the chap that did this might be the guy to talk to don't you think?

Have had some dealings with the Willwood spot caliper - absolute garbage.

Would think the Hi-Spec caliper to be designed with the failings of Willwood in mind. (Geof used to use Willwood untill he got fed up with the problems)
I would go with it If it was my decision.
