I know Birdlip Hill well, super climb, overtaking in the centre lane.

Anyway, since I fitted my Acme Rubber Crankshaft, mine now revs to 25,000. :-?

It's also improved the petrol consumption, 84 mpg!

0-60 in minus 3 secs.

Had to fit a parachute on the back to help with the braking. 8-)


These sound great !!!!!!!

Is it possible to use them in conjuction with the self retracting pistons and valves that automatically kick in when the cam belt assembly fails?

My company" Bodgit Reckit and Shagit" are developing a total concept engine that will get newer the more miles that you put on it. Yes a very similar system to that altready employed on most of the Vauxhall range. :-/

Yours faithfully Timothy F***WIT

My 98 MV6 will go to 6750 if floored (Sport or normal).

The project goes to around 6000rpm in normal with full kickdown, 6500 in sport

When I had the Sennie, I used to tow a caravan, used to overtake loads up Birlip Hill.

I've quietened down a bit since then.

The Carlton 3.0ltr 24v Gsi would take Birdlip in 5th no probs. (Yes I know, it was a manual).
