Re: Silverstone Classic

Things are changing. I had a spare few hours so went to the Knebworth Classic Car show on Aug BH.

One of the features of the arena was to get the loudest cars in, rev them and award a cup to the loudest car.

God knows what Chris Storey would have made of this!

Re: Castrol SRF brake fluid

Used it for years with no issues - ever. Important to note that you should only use it with a new system. People seem to have had trouble when DOT4 has been in the system previously.

Re: Ignition switch replacement

Re: EZ power steering

Transforms the car Andrew. Not only the slow speed maneuverability, but comes into its own at speed where the wheel just feels solid. We hide the ECU inside the bulkhead so only the motor is on show. I'd definitely go for it - we also fit solid rack mounts.

Re: Brand new E type anyone?

The Burlen system was being developed by Taylor Automotive. Last time I spoke to them, (Taylors) the system was nearly ready but Burlen pulled the plug.
