Re: Looking for a LHD left door mirror

Here are the three mirrors. I think it's Citroen on the left, Rover on the right and I have no idea what the mirrors are from on my car in the middle. Mine is also a 1988

Re: Excel Radiator Options?

Had my radiator re cored in April 2008 and still going strong - Dam - now I've done it!!
I live in a hard water area so mix the coolant 50/50 using deionised water. Never see any rust in the system when I change the coolant or when I replaced the water pump.

Elite in Motor Sport March 1975

Just come across this article in Motor Sport. I know its available in the Motor Sport archive and probably some book but thought I would scan it in anyway. https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=c879f1a1772c751b%21134734&authkey=%21AHPuA8gDFE5gwhk&width=2463&height=3240 https://onedrive.live.com/embe...

Re: No Spark Gremlins

When we were chatting at LITP I mentioned I had a wire break through fatigue due to the constant back and forwards of the vacuum advance movement. Mine actually broke the wire so was easier to find the fault. https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=c879f1a1772c751b%217448&authkey=%21ANm9L7HfkBPxJsc&wi...

Re: Exhaust-modify or not?

I had Lotusbits fit their sports exhaust, tubular manifold, 2 & half inch front pipe. Still sounds great to me but I have heard one person who said it was too noisy for them at motorway speeds. Personally, I don't want my fun car to be the same as my family car so more noise is fine.

Re: NZ newbie to forum

Yes that's Bills car. Used to belong to Dave at Lotusbits who fitted fuel injection. He obviously had access to other parts at Lotus bits hence he fitted later wheels, wing mirrors and other parts. https://ams03pap002files.storage.live.com/y4m4sqkHjr3LxjX0OK3g7VH27LHsQ2fj13VUGGZQarHabBKDWoiSm3zKUGQU...
