    I have a R30 gearbox for sale. Was keeping it as a good spare, but I've finally decided to sell the car, so it's may as well go. I know it's in good order because I drove the donor car before I removed the box, and it made no nasty noises and all worked perfectly. £150

    Picture quiz

    Anyone fancy hazarding a guess at what this is ? It was retrieved from my GTD shortly after I put it on the road a few years back.As a clue, I originally bought the car as "nearly complete and built by an FI technician". It gave me a new meaning to term FI (second word being idiot).In fact the...

    302 Breathing !

    I'm having trouble breathing! When I first put my car on the road in 1999,I fitted a PCV(the right way round!)between the Holly 600 and the RH rocker cover, with an open filtered breather cap on the LH side. I always felt this was unsatisfactory - lumpy tickover/slight oil leakage from the cap.A...
