Sounds like timing WD40 is not the best to check for leaks, use easy start,

Good luck, Dave

I spotted on Tim,s orange car some very small bullet type lights that also hold on the number plate. Two jobs in one. They were no bigger than std size no-plate bolts.

Dave.

I am going to build the whole thing myself. I tried contacting all the companies who said " from £4700" but when you added all the extras it was more like £8000 and I simply don't have that sort of money. Scholar were brilliant and so were Robspeed, but when you can get all the bits from ...

I used to build computers for a living. All the time I would get people coming to me and say, I have got all most all the bits it just needs this and that. I used to put 25% on all the drives and boards. This would cover a fault. In the end I got P*$$*d off with folks asking, and told then to go awa...

I have been doing some home work, and found some more up dates. 1, There looks to be different top susp rocker's. 2, 15ins rear dampers. 3, New style pedal box, and foot rest, 4, A bespoked race/track chassis. dont know what mods are on that. 5, A different steering coulomb (mini) 6, IRS. 7, The fro...

Give him a ring. He said he was there most Sat's 01686413000

I was reading through one part of the chat list I could see that Werner had posted a section on chassis up date. After visiting Tim the other weekend he did mention a list of chassis mods that has been done to the car. I cant remember them all but here gose. 1, making the radiator mounting easer, 2,...

Yeah, but the RV8 has a very heavy gearbox, plus needs two exhaust systems, also a big rad etc. Pinto has an iron head where all zetecs have alloy heads, and I think the latest Zetec SE's are ally block too, arent they? Jeff True As i seem to have to much time on my hands i've been surfing again,th...

Did mine the hard way

:idea: Got my thinking head on. 285bhp is required if a car is 710kg for a power to weight 400 bhp per ton 170bhp, car weight 570 = power to weight of 298 bhp per ton. 230bhp, car weight 570 = power to weight of 403 bhp per ton. So the next big question is. Is it cheeper to pay for horse's, or to pa...

710kg :shock: Tim's is 525kg, 200kg of difference perhaps thats what he meens the engine is to big for the car :?: :idea: whos good at mathes. How many bhp is required to give a car that weighs in at 710kg a power to weight of 400bhp per tone. Also what power is requied for a car that weighs 570kg t...

Very impressed :D Tim said they no longer do a chassis for the V8. He said it unbalances the car. He also said that these type of light weight cars are about a well set up car. He reconed about 80% of the cars out there are not set up as they should be. Before going there I wanted something with 250...

Went to Wales the weekend for a spin, well to SSC to be exact , what a blast :D. Got there around 10, had a chat, coffee and a laugh with Tim about the time he passed me. Then went up to his workshop. He has a nice little set up for a small unit, there even two chassis hanging off the ceiling. He sh...

Thanks Werner, good artical.
Yes it was on that stretch of road a few monthes ago.
