The 'E' Type Forum

Middle of May, 2013: you only have to plan it, I'm serious !

A person with a shared E-type love is for sure a friend !

Ciao Lorenzo.

You only have to book a Ryanair flight from Stansted to Ancona, from there you will be my guest ......

Yesterday I was at the 2013 Mille Miglia race http://i1323.photobucket.com/albums/u592/ricky01lorenzo/MM2013/DSC01911_zps934cbf08.jpg No E-Type cars of course, but a lot of rare and amazing one's. If you want to see more .... http://s1323.photobucket.com/user/ricky01lorenzo/library/MM2013 Ciao, Lor...

I am trying to solve two problems concerning the headlamps. The first one is that water enters from the internal bonnet when raining , the second one is that the left scoop vibrates when the engine is running. http://i1323.photobucket.com/albums/u592/ricky01lorenzo/Headlamp%20rubber%20seal/1_zpse183...

Thanks to all, thanks Clive, I will follow your precious suggestions to solve the problem.

Now I have the car at a local workshop, and after having dismounted the engine head they saw it full of oil, due to the fact that a previous owner made some works on the head, installing seal valve not properly, so that the seals were out and someway,moving togheter with the valve movement, "pump" t...

Some months ago I visited Ferrari Museum in Modena, and I've done a nice photos report.

Are you interested to see them ?

Yes, the omologation document give me two different options: 6,40 - 15 or 185 - 15 So I have to change my 205/75R15 tyres for sure, the only question I have is if a 185 - 15 tyre can fit my 6,5 wheels ..... I read on the Michelin website that a Michelin XWX 15 " 185/70VR15 tyre can be fitted, as max...

Many thanks for your valuable advice David.

Yes Peter, the size is embossed on the back side of the wheel. On S1, with 205/70/15 tures and 6 1/2 wheel it's impossible to change the rear wheels if needed, even if they are deflated: the only way to change them is to loose rear axle or suspension :shock: ! I think I have to buy a new complete se...

I bought my S1 car from Holland with 205/70 15 tyres on 6 1/2 wire wheels, but I have to change the tyres because the italian omologation documents says: 185-15 tyres.

Do you think I can mount 185-15 tyres on myl 6 1/2 MWS wire wheels ?

Thanks

Thank you David for your clear summary.

Hi, thinking at a new air filter (inox paintcake), I have tried to understand something from the previous posts but with no good results. Can someone tell me in a "dummy way" the utility to have a performance air filter ? I saw nice solution from Barrat (SU Quality Pancake chromed Air Filters), it's...

Hi, some months ago I set my original car radio to a person in Sicily, trying to make it working. Mr. Vittorio Tiozzo, owner of Radio Epoca Tiozzo shop, has rebuilt completely the amplifier unit and today my 1966 original car radio has a new life ! For who is looking for a service like this, please ...

I think there isn't a Car Museum so full of amazing (and race running ....) pieces of art .

Hope to see all of you at the next MM2013, May 16th !

In the meantime .... enjoy the pictures!

Hi,
I have some nice photos of last Millemiglia (no E-Types, sorry ....), are you interested to see them ?

If yes, where can I post them ?

I will try to resume the current situation: - average engine oil consumption - 1 liter/150 Km - engine oil not overfilled (oil dipstick ok) - no oil around the engine head or lower engine - engine oil type- Penrite 20W60 - white smoke when driving - good engine compression - almost dry sparks plugs ...
