Hello Jarrus, I honestly did not know that I was posting on the peugeot section, I just clocked on"start new thread " and posted. I am not so clued up on computers, and tend to make these goof ups on a regular basis, If it bothers people so much, I would rather stop posting as it is not my...

I think that Niki Lauda was the best. Reason? No other driver driver except Jackie Stewart was selected ISK's Sportsman of the Year. Lauda was selected in 1977, After becoming World Champion in 1975, Lauda made his comeback after the Nürburgring crash that almost cost him his life,to win two...

My Tata Marina loses power over 4600 RPM so thats the rev limit

My advice would be to get whatever car is available within your budget, and then start the project, you will learn on the job, so to speak, and thoroughly enjoy yourself in the process. Best of luck.

I thought any lister could post on any motoring topic on this forum, If this is not in order, my apologies, I do not know how to remove this from the forums, maybe you could do it for me.

Sorry, don't know any tuners in Delhi, but if you are down in Bangalore anytime there are a few good guys who have the expertise to do the job.

Plenty of cars and SUV's here in India with leaf springs at rear, among cars The Maruti 800, The Ambassador(Morris Oxford 1950's vintage still made here )Among SUVs Most Mahindra SUVs, and some Tata SUV's

I can understand EXACTLY how you feel! Here in India, they now park on both sides of the road, and these large SUV's driven by mostly morons and half wits, come at you, swipe your side mirrors, then give you a dirty look. I just wish I was younger, I have come to realise belatedly, that older...

I think electric cars should come equipped with two horns, one discreet sounding horn labelled"please" and another loud one labelled"look out"

Used to buy quite a few Car and Motorcycle magazines until I got hooked on the internet, I do not buy any now. BTW if any of you are interested in pre WW2 British Motorcycles, I have a few advertisements and reviews of British motorcycles made between 1928 and 1936, they have been scanned and...

With the vast technological improvements made on the Diesel engine of today, Diesel is the prime mover of choice, and as HDi fun mentioned "let's not dismiss diesel's high BMEP advantages".

You are dead right, I buy all similar stuff from the US of A, they are the best.

You are sure living in an expensive country!

Thats a lot of money! and I thought we in Bangalore were paying too much!!

Here in Bangalore India, we have a Lifetime Tax system, we pay around Rupees 70,000(about 1000 UK Pounds) as lifetime tax for a new average sized private car.

In my limited experience with NGK and Denso, I noticed no difference.

I have found Bosch to be satisfactory

Hi Ronnie Calcutta, Please contact Kartik <karthik@racedynamics.in> he is based in Bangalore, and manufactures stand alone as well as piggy back ECMs for all popular cars.

It would be cheaper and more convenient to replace the existing ECU with one of our local brands, at least in my experience here in Bangalore.

Thanks TN and Waynne, will try and incorporate them in my future posts.

Exactly, also, the car that we intend to import should not be LHD, and if bought used, be less than 5 years old, and in use by the intended importer in the country he/she is living/working in for at least 6 months. Crazy rules, but that's how it is.

Of course I was joking, I just don't know how to put those funny yellow faces at the end of my posts, hence the exclamation mark!!

Yes I did see the price, that would mean 20,000 UK Pounds Plus 117% duty plus freight, a staggering total!, this is why we in India are unable to import .

Nice specs seems very well put together, wouldn't mind owning one.

Intermittent flames from the exhaust mean that you have a cylinder that is not firing occasionally, resulting in a temporary rich condition in your exhaust , which then ignites. Check your HT leads, plugs-in fact check the entire ignition system ASP , or else you may find your exhaust system on...

A Sedate Jaguar 1952 Mk 7 with stock interior- complete with original wood trim-, but with a lightweight tubular chassis and fibreglass panels and powered with a Nissan 30DETT engine souped up to the teeth.

Judging from the pictures, obviously a very well looked after car, good buy.

Interesting thread,I have some experience with turbochargers, but this experience stops at around the late 80's technology. About the only method that I know to reduce turbo lag is to use a small fast spooling turbo. The more you free up exhaust gas flow, intercooler piping drag, etc will also...

37deg C a few weeks ago

Congratulations on your new purchase, I wish you many hours of happy driving.

Thanks a lot for the pictures, being bought up on a diet of American cars, your pictures are much appreciated, the '47 Chevrolet fleetmaster in one of the pics was widely used as taxis here in India.

Hi Redtail, Here is a nice site where you can get a stroker kit for $820. http://www.dssracing.com/?gclid=CMLP_brXyqICFRxRagod4nlrxA

Hi All, this was just sent to me by a pal of mine. http://www.youtube.com/v/-0tCV7sF-TA&hl=en_US&fs=1 Now if we can just get it to make a full pass without the tires going up in smoke.

First of all, Are you over revving the engine?

Fitting a megasquirt would be better than a piggy back

If you like to keep it NA then fit a stroker kit(around 1,500USD about 5 years ago) if you go the turbocharge way then a Holset H2 series would be ideal, I have worked on these engines, and they are rugged.

I am in total agreement, this IS the best forum, so many opinions on as many diverse subjects, and no tells you not to use "Rich Text"(whatever that is) like some other forums I subscribe to, and don't display my messages for this and other equally odd reasons!

Excellent pictures, loved all of them, thanks PG.
