Thanks hopefully will be sorted next week.

Can anyone recommend someone to replace the valve stem seals on my SR20DET engined Alfa? I just don't have the time to do it myself due to work and holiday commitments.
Ideally near Horsham but...
Just looked up the date for Japfest. Unfortunately the Alfa is away getting a new custom intercooler made the week before and I doubt I will have it back in time :(

Out on track yesterday at Castle Combe. Picture does not show how damp and slippery it was. Car went really well, managed to be ahead of the full race 105's thanks to SR20DET power :)
...
Yep I think I will be leaving the bumpers off.

I would join www.locostbuilders.co.uk there is always lots of help and probably many people who have done before. My mate put his SR into a Stylus. But I know they have been put in Luegos, MKs and...
Saturday morning car number 51 receives the transponder and the number stickers, Callum and I receive our wristbands. A quick drive back to the hotel for breakie and load the car up with tools and...
Well everything was going fine we all met up at Maidstone. An eclectic mix of cars from a Lancia Stratos replica, Porsche GT3RS, 550hp Sierra 4 wheel drive hillclimb car, GTM Libra spider,...
A friend of mine does a circuit weekend every August at the old Belgian GP circuit (Zolder) and he asked me if I would like to go along this year. I had promised my 17yr old son a Dad/Son weekend...
Lovely part of the world but no I am based in West Sussex
It took a couple of weeks to get the pedal box modifications done and the car ready for paint. I trailered it back to my house to finish the prep.
The original paint of the era was Alfa AR501 but...
Well it has been months since I have provided any updates.
Whilst the car body was generally in good condition, there were a few or things that needed attention. There was a poor repairs to the...
Looking good Jim
I am still here but havent done much to the car other than tidying the bodywork (new door skins and rear valance), lowering the pedal box and getting it resprayed. So far my...
After visiting Brooklands I will probably be dropping by the The Phoenix Inn for the annual 1st Jan Classic Car show

Hi *****
Be good to say hello.
This is an annual event and the first car meet of 2013. Always hundreds of cars mainly pre 1973 but a splattering of "interesting or special younger vehicles,...
The change in camber seems to have worked very well but with this cold slippery weather it's all a bit theoretical now. Next outing is the New Years day outing at Brooklands.
...
On advise I took the camber up from 0.5 deg to 1.5 deg. This was on the advise of the guys who did the alignment. Could go more but will effect braking and tyre wear. Its all a compromise I guess....
I think you are spot on for the oil cap. I have been looking but not found anything yet but will keep looking.
Cheers
Jim
Well I had a few upgrades over the last few months. I dumped the crap ebay stainless steel manifold which kept cracking for a nice and solid mild steel one custom built by the guys at Powerspeed. ...
Hi Chris
Sorry to hear of your car woes. Hope it all gets back together without too much pain.
Jim
Payment Sent :)
Off to Spring Alfa day in the Cotsworlds tomorrow so I'll see if I get lynched :)
Seriously though all the Alfa guys seem fine with it. Got more stick for the conversion on here ;)
