Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / 15" wheels

Like Peter my superblower`s track rod ends/steering arms only just about clear the rim without modification. My front rims are Trigo however.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / 15" wheels

« on: September 08, 2012, 13:38:30 »

For what it is worth I have just removed one of my Trigo front wheels and compared the hub mount cone angle to one of my original 16" wheels using a profile gauge and it appears the same. My car has the standard BMW calipers which may be why I have not had an issue with them fouling the rims.
   Regarding machining I have not had any issues with the Trigo wheels, strangely it was the older original 15" wheels that I obtained from Barrie Bird that needed slight modification to allow my spinners to sit correctly, I contacted Barrie , he informed me he had not had an issue with them which seems to point to possible differences in the spinners we all use, perhaps some have a larger shoulder behind the spinner wing ?

I can only comment regarding the  15" front wheels as the rears on my Superblower SB7002 are Barrie Bird surplus (and very well they scrubbed up too}.
   I therefore needed a pair of front wheels to complete the set,I ordered a pair from Curtis at Trigo, they arrived within a week, fitted perfectly (certainly no offset or hub mounting issues here) I am very pleased with the quality and even allowing for ups carriage and duty they represent very good value.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Cobra Alarms/Immobilisers

« on: October 28, 2011, 18:05:41 »

Hi Gary,
   I know very little about the company, I am aware that they have supplied security systems to Rolls Royce/Bentley etc and they are based in Kent.
   According to my car`s records their Vantage Black Box system was fitted at the factory in 1998. It functions as it should, I did have an issue during the summer with the starter switch circuit, the imobiliser was suspected but during investigation the fault corrected itself and to date has not occured again.
   How it stacks up to current systems out there is probably not relevent, as I am sure technology has moved on considerably in the thirteen years since fitted.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Air Filter - Efi, Superblower , CRS etc

« on: September 05, 2016, 11:56:47 »

Hi All,
   I am seeking advice regarding air filters to Efi engines.
   My Superblower SB7002 is fitted with a small K&N cone filter which I have recently discovered is for a 700cc Honda motorcycle !! This was presumably selected by the factory due to spacial limitations being positioned in the upper driver`s wheelarch next to the brake servo. It is connected directly off the Mass Airflow unit and positioned to be next to the side vent in the wing. An aluminium fabricated shroud connects the filter to an 80mm duct which runs over the front wheelarch to one of the smaller intakes in the nose.
      I seem to recall seeing a photo of a CRS a while back, the filter was sited in the nose and ducted similar to mine over the wheelarch back to the MAF.
      May I ask what arrangement and filter spec is utilised on other efi cars as the one presently installed in mine I suspect is inadequate.
   
      Regards
