Why don't you book it in with Pete Burgess in Alfreton.
He has literally written the book on B series tuning.

Re: New marina owner
It's a good forum. I haven't had a marina for a couple of years but I still hang around as it's full of good people and I still hope to take on a GT one day... If you need something and mention it on here someone will help you. Or, within 24 hours the item will mysteriously list on ebay. At least th...

Re: Car show moan
Wouldn't worry about it... There's always all sorts of idiots at car shows. Best one I ever had... bonnet up at Santa Pod drag strip in my MGB GT Factory V8. Some dude walked up with his kid, counted the HT leads and announced to his offspring "Look son, this one's got a V9"! I nearly show...

Re: Hmmm.... Six-speed gearbox??
Hi the 6th gear ratio is the same as a ford type 9 5th gear ratio 1 gear is lower than the ford so for this to work you need a higher diff ratio or you can fit a overdrive to the ford type 9 MGB axle swap would be useful then? You've got the choice of 3.9:1, 3.7:1 3.3:1 or 3.08:1 and two axle case ...

Re: my marina fka637l
What's your point? It's illegal!
Are you for real? You can't just screw a random vin number onto a car and run round using another vehicles ID and declare "no worries".

Re: my marina fka637l
Sounds very suspicious. You can't just "reshell" a car like a marina. It's a monocoque so the vehicle ID is in the bodyshell. The only way you could do this legally is by having the vehicle put through a BIVA test and have it issued with a Q plate. I suspect someones done a VIN swap onto a...

Re: Possible MOT testing changes ??
When I think cars with no MOT tests, I immediately think of the wrecks that come over from Jersey and struggle to find buyers. The moment you open up a system to abuse, that's exactly what you'll get. I don't care if you're the most fastidious person in the world, it doesn't hurt for someone else to...

Re: 2009 scrappage scheme stats revealed...
I thought that was a pretty good result really.
Particularly when there were over 700 Jaguars and Daimlers lost...
Some muppet even scrapped a corvette! I've never seen one with an mot for less than 5 grand!

Re: My First Marina,what about yours?
My first (and only) marina is actually pretty well documented on here already... A 1.3 SDL with the worlds worst paint job. It had been languishing in a lockup in fullham for about 12 years. The guy who owned it had fallen out with his mum or something over it and needed to move it on or something l...
