General Discussion / Windscreens for limited produ...
Last post by mn1 - Today at 05:13:54 PMJust wondering what people do for limited production or older vehicle replacements. Pilkington UK can supply screens for all my cars including a Porsche 904 replica which I found astonishing but freight is the killer. Anyone successfully applied some clever lateral thinking and come up with a solution??

Motorsport Administration / SET= Self Extraction test)
Last post by giulia_veloce - Today at 09:33:29 AMAs from January 1-2024,,Self Extraction Tests are to be carried out at ALL Motor Racing Events,,including Sprints (Supersprints),Club,State,National + International events.
What is required= the driver,,,fully kitted in race conditions,comes to the Scrutineering Bay etc,,and get out of the car in 15 seconds.
2025 will be 10 seconds.
For those with Log Booked cars,,it will be entered into your log book= SET Pass,with name + licence number.
For those without log booked cars,,times will be recorded with name,,licence number and be given to the Organising Club,,,to keep a record,,and Submitted to Motorsport Australia.
If you drive another car,,,another test will be required for that car.
Example,,,a car goes out on the Circuit for a race meeting Practice,,Qualifying,,,etc,,,goes Straight to the Scrutineering bay etc,,where an Official will make sure you have all the Safety gear on= helmets,,seat belt,harness etc.
He will brief you on what is required= Get out of the car within 15 Seconds.
We have conducted Hundreds of these tests,,with very few failures,,mainly in Log booked cars with Roll cages,Harnesses,,Hans devices,Helmets,Race seats,window nets etc.
Its a bit of fun,,but practice it before you get checked.
All to be completed by December 31st 2024,,where 2005 will be 10 seconds.

105/115 Series (105 Coupe/Spider/Berlina) / Re: Any value in a 2L Nord
Last post by Craig_m67 - May 11, 2024, 09:10:08 AMAh no, still ensconced. I just had to move sheds and the collection of parts that once assembled resemble a Duetto. I have a few bits I don't need; 2L engine[1], cams[10548?], gearboxes[2], spare new S2 nose panels, new seat pans[2], old LSD[1]. It's all now literally across the road, I can walk to "work".
So working out what to keep and what to bin/tip (shortly) as the new space is limited and moving stuff that doesn't bring "Joy" is an anathema. So, in the bin!
Thanks VIN for the response, if anybody wants something let me know.
As a side question (as this is years away). What would make a better street motor. Twin spark, ported with carbs/ITBs (usual fruit). Or the 2 litre Nord, ported with carbs, existing 123. I like the idea of the Nord as I can keep my cross over air filter (stock look) but wonder if keeping this intake would defeat any porting/breathing/engine mods. Then I could sell the TS to buy some heritage jenvey jewellery...
I'm after an engine that will make good torque and rev/spin up quickly. I've been ruined by the 1750tbi in the GQV... which possibly needs an oil change, defo overdue a wash (just been used as a Ute) and would be the best retrofit choice if a gearbox (mx5) was available.
