  • Rob Armstrong19 June 2025

    I've used the standard injection on the 1400 and 1600, and individual throttle bodies on the 1600 and 1800.

    To get to 120 I had an aftermarket ECU, bigger single alloy throttle body, alloy VVC inlet and a decent exhaust.

    Fuel lines are send and return with a swirl pot and HP pump behind the bulkhead in front of the axle; standard tank, return into the filler neck.

    Engine out huh? Good stuff.

  • Philip Sellen19 June 2025

    Anam:

    That image was at rest. Iโ€™m not in a position to capture it in use because itโ€™s out of the car now.

    Hopefully Iโ€™ll be able to inspect the innards in the next couple of days or so.

    Nigel:
    No modifications required for figment of the AA bearing, so unfortunately your suggested mod is a non-starter.

    But thanks for your input.

  • anamnesis19 June 2025

    Ok I see the point if using it sends an alert on the likes of twatter or whatever.

    But on our 'simple' bbs, and those like it, @ in front of a name is useless, and not needed. Frankly, I think it looks silly.

    Just using someones name is enough to direct a comment at them. Sticking a symbol in front of their name doesn't enhance that.

  • P Peters19 June 2025

    @Whoever. I think it's a Twitter thing but I'm on a work group that uses something called 'Monday' for group collaboration and when you put an @ before someone's username the software sends them an e-mail to let them know there's something relevant to them.

    It's one of those things that's started to be adopted beyond its original home into other places - like here now;)

    @Alan An...

  • GuyW19 June 2025

    It seems to me that it does have its merits as an alert, even if on the BBS it doesn't trigger an automatic notification. Most of our conversations ramble and are inclusive in much the same way as in an old fashioned style pub, conversations before about 7pm are very public and anyone can just chip in. At least in the more rural or remote parts of the kingdom. I dont know how this works down in th...

  • anamnesis19 June 2025

    No fingers on this cover I think. Looks like this type to me.

    Pad's still clipped firmly in place. Bearing is in contact.

    Philip, was this picture taken with the pedal at rest? I assume it was.

    Another picture with the pedal depressed would be, perhaps, informative.

  • Nigel Anderson19 June 2025

    Philip, I've scan read through all the comments and maybe I don't have the full story. I read that you have the Alan release bearing, has the clutch pressure plate been modified so that the release bearing is pushing against the spring fingers of the clutch? If so, the pressure plate could be throwing the release bearing back further than it should, which means the slave piston needs more stroke t...

  • Bill B19 June 2025

    Good number Anam ๐Ÿ™‚. Doesn't this @ thing come from twitter or is that #? Oh, it's X now innit? Never used it, never will. Same with the book of face. I do use WhatsApp but within restricted interest groups or family.
