The V8 Owners Forum -

Some of you may have noticed an addition of recognisable items appearing on e-bay? This heralds a dark day in my household with the succumbing to "abandoned project syndrome", meaning the planned rebuild & instalment of my rv8 is sadly no more. 3 reasons for this, one, quickly realisin...

e.bay has 2 35dm8 dizzys for sale, according to D. Hardcastles book thats the best oe dizzy to have, one's from a range rover, one says its from an efi lump, I'm rebuilding a carb sd1 lump, Question is... is there a difference between the 2? if so, which one would be better for me? Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your advice m8, the bores look ok to my untrained eye, certainly no pitting or obvious wear & I've been back on to real steel

Just purchased this water pump off of flea bay, new, boxed for £13.
Its "apparently" the one Real Steel recommend for rv8 kit cars & the like,
Have any of you more knowledgeable guys heard of it? All google throws
up is that it fits a Buick Riviera!
Have I wasted my hard earned 13 quid!!
