    New Tech N7735-10 Alternator

    Anyone on here using one? If so, do you have the tech spec / connection details as I've been asked about the fitment of one and have not seen the item. The owner tells me there's 6 connections but I'm guessing some are paired outputs although without viewing it I cannot be sure. I've had...

    Import Duty/Tax/Vat to UK from Aus...?

    Well strangely enough, the chap has just emailed me and confirmed that he can claim all (well most) of the costs back upon return providing I can give him a letter stating that I will not be claiming, so hopefully sorted. Just too much red tape these days and of course ParcelForce just sit in...

    Import Duty/Tax/Vat to UK from Aus...?

    Right - Thought I'd post here as one of you knowledgeable chaps is bound to know the answer. I have just been sent a set of motorcycle clocks from Australia for me to test for their AUS owner. This is being done at no charge from me. I'm not sure how he sent them but they are currently...

    Beware of polepositionusa

    Ditto - I had a problem with a company over a 6mth period and after returning goods 'at their request' - I then received no refund and was messed about and ignored on phone calls. One call to the credit card company and all was resolved within about 2 wks.. in my favour. Unless there are...

    Manx TT April 2010

    That's a bummer Martin - and the trophy went special delivery to Frank so that's another problem...doh!

    Anyone running Carter Pumps?

    I've seen some of the 'fuel-pump sub assemblies' you've made and they look very nice indeed. Not exactly cheap I would think but tidy and well constructed for sure. Post the pictures up Frank - a picture is worth a thousand words... Re the non-return valves, I've normally fitted them after...

    School me up quickly on drag racing please

    Nice one Russ - :thumbsup: I'd say that was a great result and certainly upheld the '40' flag.... Best Roy's 40 managed was an 11.8s at 132mph although that was on a road at Brighton Speed Trials and not on a prepared surface - although we did have slicks on. It's a lot trickier than...

    Volcanic Cloud?

    I heard on the news that the UK had sent up a scientific weather plane to investigate and wondered if anyone knew what it was? - DERA (QinetiQ) Hercules perhaps? What was your Buell doing in the shower Ron...? :inquisitive: On second thoughts, No - don't answer that :laugh: Sorry...

    Well I hope your SL-C is quieter, cos if it's not you're gonna need some seriously good earplugs.. (or at least your neighbours will:laugh:)

    Interesting cars at Silverstone today

    Oh and a purple/mauve? GT40 Mk1 too but I only saw it briefly - sounded good though :thumbsup: There's racing there tomorrow/Sun if anyone is interested. I unfortunately have work at home...(cars and bikes this time)

    Interesting cars at Silverstone today

    And a few of the more older historic cars... The T70 was faaast! But the Sauber Merc was seriously fast and definitely the LOUDEST thing there..

    Interesting cars at Silverstone today

    I was at Silverstone today with CT Racing setting up a Motec SDL3 logging dash on a 997 Porsche and helping interpret recorded data. It was an interesting day in that there was a lot of other fast cars there, including some very nice historic stuff, so I snapped a few pics when I had a spare...

    School me up quickly on drag racing please

    In my own experience of drag starts, which is pretty much what we do for sprints and hillclimbs, your terminal time will be very much determined upon the launch (how much wheelspin) and your terminal speed will be determined by how much power you have. On Roy's GTD40, with the 347 stroker in it...

    Oil change.

    A friend of mine did that with his GSX1400 mc - discovered before end of road when he stopped, wondering why the backend was somewhat 'loose'....:laugh:

    tuning for economy

    Simon - After fitting Kinnsler throttle bodies with Accell management to Roy Smart's GTD40, driveability improved no end (esp in traffic) and fuel consumption was noticibly less. On a run he could get 20+ mpg and that was often with some spirited driving enroute. Bearing in mind that the...

    SLC radiator and fans

    Not sure that would be the only reason Craig as the GTD I normally drive and many others for that matter, have alloy rads with both feed and return at the bottom and they work fine. The one in mind came from Docking at Silverstone (ask for Mel), great people, very good quality and kept...
