Attention: All Superspec Owners

It seems Richard Stewart, the original 'Mr Robin Hood', has 'found' 10 complete sets of Superspec body panels (4 yellow wings, a yellow nosecone and the 5-piece plastic covers for the rear end) in his 'lockup'. He is drip feeding them onto E-Bay at £200/set (Item: 301097270356 is the latest).

 

I have just grabbed the first set and will be picking them up from Nottingham tomorrow. I will report back on any other Superspec-specific parts he still has in stock.

 

I would have thought this is a unique opportunity to pick up a spare set at a good price. I doubt there are any other sets lying around.

The appearance of a SuperSpec propshaft on E-Bay (Item: 301100510753) prompted the previous owner of my car to tell me I should be greasing the propshaft and other suspension/steering components.

 

Does anyone have a greasing 'schedule' of what and when I should be doing ?

Hi Al,

 

Not sure about a 'schedule', but would suggest annually at least.

 

Either end of the propshaft there are the universal joints with a grease nipple on each.

The UJ at the differential end is easy enough to get to with the car jacked up (& on axle stands of course), but the one at the gearbox is a bit more fiddly as you have to remove the long tunnel cover (easy enough on a Superspec as it should just lift off), then I think you have to remove the cover surrounding the gearlever (I can't remember for certain whether the access is definitely under the gear lever cover).

 

A good quality grease suitable for CV joints should do the trick.

 

Hope this helps

Al

I don't want to start a 'club within a club', but I thought it might be useful if we kept a database of Superspec owners. That way we know who to go for for Superspec advice, who lives relatively close, who has what engine, and who is going to what car show so we can meet up and discuss Superspec-specific issues.

 

From trawling the forum, I have come up with the following current active owners:

 

alanrichey (Al) - Swayfield, Lincs - (Rover 2.0 + MT75 Gearbox)

QuadraDave (Dave) - ??? - ???

Al Milton (Al) - Ramsgate,Kent - (Zetec)

maw (Matthew) - Leicester- ???

edbond (Ed) - Worcester - (Rover 2.0 + MT75 Gearbox)

Redspec (Steve) - Co Durham - (Rover 2.0 + MT75 Gearbox)

steven (Steven) - N. Ireland- ???

jwts (John) - Herne- ???

Pete the Dog (Peter) - Welshpool - ???

owlman (Jonathan) - Warlingham, Surrey - (Zetec)

Crazy chris3rd (Chris) - Merthyr Tydfil - 2.3 Galaxy + MT75

 

Have I missed anyone ?

 

Anyone not want to be included in a more detailed private one (full addresses) ?

 

Can we fill in the gaps ?

 

Anything else we need to know that is relevant ?

 

Cheers

 

Al
