I'd thought I'd do something other than drinking pints so I went along to the motorshow that was on here in London last week. The show was quite a bit smaller than I was expecting but quite a few low production supercars were featured.

I'll post some more pics up later - higher res ones available as well

**not sure why this posted 3 times & only once with the pics**

The 1st pic is a smallish handmade car by Connaught (made successful GP cars 50 years ago). Its got a supercharged 2L V10 & runs to 100 in 4sec or so.

The blue Bristol behind the Ford GT is worth 260K Quid ;)

The V10 is designed (& made I think) in house by Connaught & has only 22.5 deg between the banks. Its a tiny car but still a proper 4 seater. I got given a full run down by 2 of the Designer/Engineers & they will be releasing a hybrid version that gets 42mpg & 6sec to 100.

The Stratos was just a mock-up & I don't believe it is an in house concept for Lancia.

Hows the orange wing-on-wheels? Didn't end up getting to chat to the lot on that cars stand unfortunately

You missed the Evo! How could you!

Cool pics none the less. Some mates on another forum have some pics of a Veyron in London in a showroom and at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Very tasty indeed :)

Steve - Been greatly reducing the beer levels as expected :whistling:

Rezz - The Connaught was probably the most interesting car there for mine. Bristols have always been uber expensive, & that model is the most pricey one

Do you reckon those two birds behind the blue Sagaris are discussing the cars at the show? Why aren't they lying over the cars and adding extra value to the shot? Back to work bisshes :wave:

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
