Still for sale Come on some one must want some fun for this year ... :rolleyes:

No sorry work this weekend B)

Hi all Sad news my knee gets no better so getting in/out of the car is now no joke So it will have to go.. Passed SVA first time at Birmingham - September 2008 and is correctly registered on a 58 plate as brand new September 2008. This means the buyer would have over two years trouble free motoring in this fun sports car, before needing an MOT. The car is currently taxed to September 2009 so buyer can drive the car away. Basic Spec Engine :- 2 litre Rover 'T' series (new) Gearbox :- Ford MT75 5 speed (new) Diff :- Sierra IRS unit (Fully reconditioned ) Disc Brakes all round. Have had it for sale on piston heads no interest ... Anyone interested here .. Price negotiable around £6000 Cheers B)

Seen it twice at Birmingham the last two times it was on It gets better and better although the Head for Richard Burton was I think best in the first attempt, the one last year was a bit strange, they say its been altered again. Merchandise is expensive when I look at the fact I bought the original album set when it first came out and picked up a CD set a number of years ago from a £2.00 basket in Woolworths it just did not sell until the concert series started again. Well worth the money Enjoy ...

Have you looked at my Superspec... on Piston Heads.. its all true no special glasses...

You can buy the copper pipe in B&Q its gas feed I bought this + then used standard copper water pipe as per others and the SVA man was very impressed in B'ham :rolleyes:

Looks a lot different.. With the exhaust so high and the front of the chassis looks different to mine with no nose cone..

Assume from th video that its a zero superspec not the original Superspec 05 chassis !!

If its a Rover I had the problem and it was the themostat Took it out pressure was much lower and I managed to bleed correctly and then all was well

No rubbers on my Superspec No problems... :rolleyes:

I missed it as well Phone call for work !!!! <_<

Speedy Cables Link They had one and made me a cable to fit etc. B)

That will reset MEMS ECU but the actual no throttle position will be set by the current position of throttle butter fly, which may not be fully closed depends on the cable adjustment

I don't think I would like to drive mine with power sreering..

There is an adjustment.. The throttle position i.e the position held by the cable when the pedal is released.. is used as the basis for the auto zero recalibration on the Mems ECU's you have ... so if you have the cable just a fraction wrong the Mems relearns the idle position incorrectly when it backs the stepper on ignition off. Mine now sits about 950 but the adsjustment I know is still marginal and intend to play again can't put my hand on the bit of paper I had with description of the cable setting.. although the feeler gauge position with the engine EAST WEST was easy to ger to whilst in the North South its very hard to see .. Regards

Mines a cut down MOP bucket from the £ shop to make the steering column shroud It was far better than the bit of Carbon Fiber supplied by RH :rolleyes:

No idea don't remember any extra bits like that.. There was some taping to hold the shape on mine, once fitted you use the silicone skil supplied to lock the shape'ish

Agree fit the screen its not a lot of work.. I was told by John who did my sva that if he felt a screen would be fitted in the future he failed cars with short term hole fills in the scuttle

Agree with Will You cut up the bent tube, then once you work out which bit is bit, drill through the tube and the struts fitted to the top joint on the hub. The most difficult I seem to remember is how to get the wing onto the bracket once fitted the bends are not 100% and trying to correct this is hard. I bedded the wing onto some body filler with cling film on top of it to stop grab on GRP. This allowed it to be set square'ish on the wheel etc. Then used short 4mm bolts with screw covers from B&Q to attach to wing.

It does look odd when fitted but it gets you through SVA /IVA Once rolled and clamped as shown in my photo its not too bad.

Just hang in there.. B'ham last year had the inspector off sick.. Told would have to wait till back, stamped my feet and got an inspection in less than 2 weeks. You are lucky if they are offering home visits most offices insist on the car by trailer I managed to get a very very nice man to take mine cost me a couple of bottles..

Mine passed without these as well The handbrake is on the strongest part of the floor and if you can move the servo you will be doing well.. I did fit some extra support for the seat mounts after talking to VOSA

The SVA centre has a area layed out as per diagram in the draft manual They park the car on the centre line and you must be able to adjust the mirrors from the driver seat so they can see the marks on the poles this means directly over the wheel arches + the field of view which represents a car overtaking and undertaking. I got away with only a mirror on the Off side the legal requirement + interior but this was an only just pass on the near side according to the tester Once I drove the car on the road I found I did need the nearside one to get a good view of what was going on behind. I could not get the westfield ones RHS on temp fit to give anything like the right field of view so bought carbon fibre look alikes from car builder solutions Fitted into windscreen supports they ar very good and have the right field of view at that hieght.

I would also like details will pm my email as well..

Yes Purple and black is the Horn Single Purple is an unswitched fused supply for the headlights etc. you use this to one side of the headlight switch The main + dipped beam feeds the other side of the switch are White-blue and White-red if my memory serves me right. Not sure what group you are identifying but White is an ignition switched 12v supply
