Don't know about American models but all European BM's are limited to 155mph, probably why you left him at 150 ;)

Here's what I put in mine, a bit brutal for day to day use but it doesn't slip :)

Unfortunately in the UK your parking brake or hand brake as we call it has to meet a certain level of stopping power on each wheel. It is checked at each yearly inspection on a set of rollers and must provide some stopping force and be an even figure for each wheel, I think from around 5-10mph...

Hi, I had a similar problem when I put the Quarter Master clutch in my 81, I had to replace the flywheel with a flex plate as it came with a small "flywheel" and couldn't get enough travel on the clutch pedal even with the nut right at the end of the rod. One simple solution is to have...

Check out this site, it give lots of Chevy engine and head casting numbers for various years. J. http://www.mortec.com/

To be fair and dare I say objective (that can be a bit lacking on these forums on occasions) if I had just bought it and didn't get to the bottom of the road far less home I would also be seriously p@@@ed off as well, even if it was gold plated. These are reasonably high dollars cars and imho...

Remember this guy ????? gave your C6 a bit of a hard time. So come on who paid them :L Jeremy Clarkson shot at in Iraq by Tom Evans, last updated October 10 2005 Jeremy Clarkson was shot at four times in one day on Sunday, and the camp where he was staying came under mortar-fire...

I picked up this article from a trade magazine at work, couldn't find a link to it on the net so you will just have to put up with my dodgy typing :L From the October issue of Automotive Testing Technology International Vettes in practise Graham Heap learned how GM Racing's Corvette C6R...

Another couple for you :) http://f3.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/cF45Q97EnccJ35JFSrutySbjWze4mp-1MjGAf41CKf_J_uzmYGJq0_P_1OF5r5OqPs0JfDC9Jg0IPmdpk1l4/jpegs/At%2520the%2520dragstrip%5B1%5D.mpa...

the first time I built mine with the RPM kit but the cam was just to much for a daily driver even with my 4 speed and decent rear end gears, with an auto it would have been a dog, it went well but was dead below 3000rpm, kept everything but changed the cam for a more torquey Com Cam, 270H from...

Just watch how you go, mostly it is a straight forward job, getting the radiator in and out is a bit tricky and just be carefull when installing the cam, I have changed mine twice now and it is not all that difficult. Which package did you go for the Performer RPM or just the regular Performer...

No problem to do it that way J.

Don't suppose it was anything to do with GM and Mobil doing a deal or am I just a synical old bastard these days ?? :L I picked up a brand new Ford recently, first oil change was at 10,000 miles, done just over 20,000 now and it will go into the shop for a service this week as per the...

Yes Please :L it's firewater, try putting it in your gas tank instead of drinking it and you might gain a tenth or two :L J.

Stick with the road tyres, a little bit of wheel spin is kinder on the drive train and axle and in some cases if you have a peaky motor helps keep the motors rpm's in the sweet spot. I used to get my Vette off the line with at least 4000rpm on the tacho and dumping the clutch, which to be fair...

:w One for England even though I am Scottish ;) J.

Doubtfull if it is a real auction, but for anybody that is curious to find out I am in Tyne and Wear, I work in Newcastle, if anyone cares to come up with a contact number or address and they are real, no problem for me to pop in on the way home from work one night. J.

Joe, What about a set of the shorty headers off an 81 and buy or have made a spacer, must be a few sets of these in the junkyard and they appear to be some sort of "stainless" material. J.

Might even be as simple as loose or worn fan belt, always worth checking the simple things first, most of the places over here in England that sell tyres and batteries will give you a free check of you battery, charging system and alternator. If you can get it going and you have somewhere close...

Some of the best Vettes I have seen on my various travels over the years were surprisingly in the Netherland. I have some pictures from one show I went to in Rotterdam and they were as good as I have seen anywhere. Pity they are on 35mm photo's and unfortunately i don't have a scanner. Nice car...
