Re: Front Springs and Ride Height
I have a Maniflow LCB which is probably flat on the bottom, it's too low. I haven't lowered mine but do use 165/65x13s and it catches on a lot of sleeping Policemen. I'm hoping to take it off and either cut the pipes and join it back shorter or I will put my old 3 into 1 that I made years ago from a...

Re: New Years Day treat...
I watched it, I have to say if it was me I take the top off the carb and at least clean the crap out and maybe the jets before trying to start it after 40 odd years and I would have cleaned out the clutch pipe before attaching it to the brand new slave cylinder.

Re: An introduction to A40 Farinas in motorsport
Check the regs for the class you want to enter before doing any mods just in case, we got moved into Modsports in sprints and hillclimbs because we'd taken out the passengers seat, bog standard other than removing most the interior.
