If you've got the plastic part I've probably got a spare. For the aluminum water outlet connector, I used rtv and have not had any problems

- inspired by BusaNostra: I took advantage of a beautiful fall day (unfortunately it was a bit more cloudy than yesterday, which was perfect except for a broken pulley...)

I think the same switches are used on both birkin & caterham cars. I recommend making sure wire terminals are soldered and crimped to make them bomproof. with regards to switches themselves, the car builder solutions catalog has a good selection. - while i still have my scuttle off replacing my spedo today, PM me if you have more specific wiring questions. p.

Narrow body birkin: ~1275 dry.

I concur. When originally looking for a seven, pointers, tips, and off hand comments in the forum were invaluable. Here too subtle observations: "the left hand widget was not made until '85 for a car advertised as oem '64..." can help others make informed decisions. Besides, the commentary improves our morning coffee

It can't be done in my Birkin (without removing the engine). I've had my oil pain on/off without removing the timing cover (which is a pain d/t the crankshaft pulley torque and shaft not being keyed). However I expect you'll still have bell housing to oil pan bolts that can't be removed in the car. - The best technique I've found is to raise the car and lower engine/gearbox out the bottom. - good luck

It became reluctant to start this weekend. When it does, fuel pressure rapidly drops to 20 and the engine stalls. After consulting a boffin it sounds like my fuel pump is under-Spec'd and been over performing all this time. Current plan is to replace the pump and assess the response

I hope someone more knowledgeable can confirm my suspicions or tell me if I'm looking in the wrong place? In the midst of routine maintenance and nose to tail checks on my car (Birkin, stock Duratek with ITBs) I noticed the fuel pressure regulator was off. Adjusting the regulator did not produce any change in displayed pressure: (making me think the aeromotive regulator is malfunctioning). However concurrently when starting up the engine the fuel system initially pressurizes, and then drops to 20psi after 1-2 minutes. Normally the fuel pump (GSL395) has a several second prime to build pressure which has always produced a high pitched humm/whine sound. Now when idling or priming the pump is producing a low pitched hum/growl. I suspect the pump is about to give up the ghost and has not been supplying enough output for the pressure regulator to properly pressurize the system or respond to the adjustment screw. However other considerations are a bad regulator, or clogged fuel filter??? Does anyone else have 16K on one of these pumps with a TMW setup? cheers p.

And a few more narrow bodies on the way!!!

I'm not sure how "strong" your old isolators are? I got a larger/stronger replacement from McMaster which has held up well for me. I've also heard of using a trimmed down hockey puck

If you want the full experience i think Tom Carlin has the new wide body birkin (duratec engined) kit in stock

If truly titled and registered in RI I believe this to be almost as rare as one in NJ...

Craig I'm about a half-hour away from there. Will stop by if possible. Do you know where you'll be set up? P.

Shane I think I've more than shown you don't need wheels to attend. It's perfectly acceptable to point your better half and children towards the beach while you and Larry come to the track...

WOW! thank you for the great photos and my new desktop background. I better be careful, knowing these things get lonely and need company the maroon Cat looks mighty tempting......

That's what they do: leave the kids in a hiding spot for the day. Come back in the evening to take care of them. Not abandoned, just smart deer parenting

I'll second that motion And, while you're at it string up that Webb footed companion of yours...

Regardless of your head gear, ear protection is a must. (There are several old discussions on the topic)

Mike, as Tom(yellowss7) pointed out: they need company. These two could be siblings separated at conception. I think the csr will be lonely without this XS next to it in your garage

My apologies in advance for not taking as many pictures as last year. I was distracted at the sight of another Birkin (then bowled over at the sight of TWO IN THE SAME PLACE!). While much missed, I think the real reason Suavé skipped out this year was a fear of becoming lunch. The remainder of my snap shots can be viewed here https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzspYorHK5gFfkFoOThzSXgzRURMNlozRjBjNVFvekFHbkphZlFqbXpjVXR5OE51MTgtaUk Cheers and hope to see everyone next year P. Tom with the new XS Birkin Tom testing both sides

not on the fence, haven't been for some time. Have camera and will be ready to catch aquatic croc's Will see you all in the morning. p.

Call tom carlin (birkin America in eagle) I think he has spares

Nurse Hilda specially ordered this tease for you

Update: For unknown reasons software adjustments with the haltech don't work here. changing from the 6-tab camshaft back to the 1 tab camshaft has solved the problem. duratec's built after 2008 have the 6-tab...

She'll go on one date in the car... and never ride in it again. But if you get her a horse all sins will be forgiven.
