    ATR brakes onto EP3

    Been asking left and right about this but can`t get a straight answer. Apparently no one has ever done it before. I`m looking into putting ATR twinpots on my newly bought EP3.

    Servicing/repairing distributor

    My engine is reaching the 200.000km mark shortly. Mechanical is sound, no oil burning etc, compression healthy on all 4 cylinders, but i was thinking maybe it`s a good time to service the distributor, as it`s Achile`s heal in B engines. My cap is cracked for more than 50.000km`s and i want to...

    Odd clutch syptoms

    I drove this morning to work fine. Getting off work, just as i let the clutch go, i felt the car hesitant to advance... I let the clutch just a bit more and the car goes. Something wasn`t right.

    I was testing my new paradas yesterday on a near by touge when all of a sudden i noticed a rattling sound coming from the gearbox -from the passengers side (drivers side for RHD`s).
