We're a big fan of solid subframe mounts, especially those made by 034 Motorsports. It's a bit of a pain to remove the stick rubber bushes, but with a press, some heat and patience they will come out. Mounting both the first and rear subframes solidly to the car is just one of those things that means you get much better feel, and is definitely worth
Here you can see the sort of before/after results we're after. Once a job is started, it needs to be finished completely and correctly. In the case of this B5 S4 front end, that meant the following: New front subframe stripped and coated with epoxy paint Replacement uprights as the pinch bolts were seized New wheel bearings HEL stainless brakes lines Rebuilt callipers with all
This is a rear subframe taken off of a B5 S4 that had been sitting for a few years outside. The toll that the moisture had on everything under the car is not difficult to see. Basically everything was suffering from either rotting or surface rust, which was a shame as the car itself was in extremely good condition. It's difficult on jobs like this,
The Classic, Customs and Collectibles Show took place at the Noble Court Holiday Park in Narberth. A lovely location, seemingly, for a casual cup of tea in your static caravan, a staple of the British summer experience. I wasn't expecting much. I wasn't even expecting many cars really. So I was surprised when I looked down the mishmash line of solid British engineering including (as it
After my first car (1964 Chevy Corvair) I was, for whatever reason, kind of obsessed with air-cooled engines, and especially VW Bugs. Most of the guys in my High School were into big-displacement V8s, which was okay I guess, but didn't really do much for me. So I bought a Bug I could afford - it was not pristine - it was a 1973 Super-Beatle
An AGB 2.7tt motor refreshed and ready to go. This motor received a new timing belt, water pump, tensioners, pulleys and refurbished K03 turbos courtesy of Ben at The Turbo Unit. All new hardware virtually everywhere including track density motor mounts and snub mount from 034 Motorsports. Also took the time to paint and just refresh things before install too, just because there's only one way to
Another of our t-shirt designs. Clothing is also available in children's sizes.
We're not a clothing shop, but we do produce some clothing that we like. If you'd like anything that you see just drop us a line and we'll be happy to sell you something in your size. This particular cap is inspired by our good friend Steve Meyer. If he thinks it's cool, there's a good chance it is.
This is one of many test-fits of the V8 to the 016 transmission. In order to mate to the gearbox, you have to basically grind off quite a bit of the bottom of the block on the V8. It's not in a critical area, but it does take a bit of guts as you don;t want to get it wrong. Once enough has been removed,
This is a good example of my approach to retrofitting motors where they don't belong. What I've done here is basically use the housing and mount for the power steering pump that came on the PT V8, but instead I've mounted the original 4000 power steering pump inside it. I used the pulley off the PT V8 so it could still use the single serpentine,
