Hi, can somebody at ACOC please make it simple to add pictures. When I hit the 'add image' button all I get is (IMG) appearing in the text box.
   
   The help window associated with the 'add image' button is completely unintelligible to me.
   
   I would very much like to post pics related to this thread, but am unable to figure it out. Maybe I am the only one, but I doubt that.

Thx for your reply John, but regretably not. Mine has a rounded profile with a single stalk out of the right hand side with the key switch on the left.

Recent ACs / Optimum water temperature

I am sure you will be aware of this, but, just in case;-
   
   Kenlkowe do a range of Extreme high performance fans with built in shrouds, that shift a lot of air. You can find on their website
   (http://www.kenlowe.com/CoolingRetrofit.php) aat the bottom of the page, a very helpful product comparison chart which shows the dimensions and throughput for each model up to 17" o.d. This model shifts over 4000cfm, although,it does draw a lot of amps.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Avon CR6 ZZ Tyres.

« on: August 30, 2014, 14:20:14 »

My car was factory fitted with Eagles, 255/60/15 rear and 215/60 front.
   
   Now on Avons for 2 years 275/60/15 rear and 225/60 front.
   
   Car has no binding issues, but, is set up as it left the factory, and not to look like a racer.
   
   Agree car needs to be used regulalry to avoid flats. The tyres use what is basically a race compound so v. soft.
   
   Do not expect more than 7k miles.
   
   Best of luck
