Very nice work indeed. Thank you for sharing. Gives me added incentive to get back to work on mine. Mike ...   06-18-2009 10:57 pm

As an update, the SuperPros are in, and most of the oversteer is gone.  Despite my fears that the old bushings weren't really the root cause, ...   05-25-2009 08:30 pm

They are in and actually I did use the vice method -- I think you may have mentioned it in another thread.  Worked like a charm.  ...   05-20-2009 04:57 pm

Jensenman, thanks for that valuable post.  IMO Greg should consider that one for the Garage section.  That is exactly what I was hoping for (not that ...   05-20-2009 03:29 pm

I'm in the middle of replacing my suspension bushings.  The rears are out and I'm waiting on the replacements.  (By the way, not to speak ...   05-17-2009 03:20 pm

Doh, it was leaking from the gasket but tracking out from under where the sending unit locking flange (the doubler) is attached, making it look ...   05-05-2009 08:33 pm

Regarding the shifter location, the difference between the "ideal" 540mm shifter (modified) and the more commonly available 515mm shifter is 1", which on the face of ...   04-30-2009 04:34 pm

I'd certainly be interested, if this were to happen in a reasonable time frame.  FWIW, Colin popped up this morning with an e-mail to me.  Might ...   04-30-2009 03:53 pm

Steve, the hydraulic actuator is optional, or is it required due to the Excel bellhousing (RH drive or something)? Dale, I had considered an overdrive unit, but from the ...   04-30-2009 05:24 am

Yeah, after reading Part Two of your home brew article (I joined JHPS too late to receive Part 1) I decided a kit was preferable.  ...   04-29-2009 07:58 pm

Hello, after asking a couple of folks about their recent experiences with CC, I'm very reluctant to rely on them as a source for a W5X install kit.  ...   04-29-2009 04:31 pm

Thanks.  While it is indeed leaking from the gasket, it also appears to be leaking from the fitment itself -- the larger (rolled in? spot ...   04-23-2009 03:40 pm

I've got a small but persistent leak at the fuel sending unit, just enough to wet about 1/2 an inch under the sending unit.  I've ...   04-23-2009 04:40 am

No worries -- I buy twice the amount of material I think I need.  That way there is no pressure to use a substandard flare.  If ...   04-21-2009 02:00 pm

Well, counting teeth from where "Lotus" is embossed on all three sprockets points to the mystery sprocket being a 115 EX part -- the scribe ...   04-19-2009 01:59 am

On 10628, the cam sprockets were replaced some time ago.  Both are stamped Lotus.  The intake is stamped properly, IN 110 EX 115 facing front.  ...   04-18-2009 07:47 pm

10628 is back on the road after a couple of weeks of rebuilding the brakes.  Glad I did a complete rebuild (including braided steel flex ...   04-15-2009 03:28 pm

Looks like the old board is gone for good? ...   04-03-2009 03:49 pm

Thank you, I did see that.   That is the direction I will probably go, but was curious about the Honda option.  The JH piece feels ...   04-03-2009 04:49 am
