    QP / GTS Polybushes

    I have built several race Mgbs and Mgbv8s which handle a sight better with poly bushes and have run two Alfa Romeo 156 sportwagon s, one quite modified, which have had every single rubber bush replaced with poly bushes for over a decade: again, a vast improvement: simply put, the replacement of...

    Zep's uprated 4.7 brake disc and pad combination

    I've had Zep's big disc conversion fitted to my Granturismo; it's TRANSFORMED the braking and driveabilty - and before anyone asks the original discs/pads were in good condition, and had braided hoses fitted prior to the conversion, so the factory setup was as good as it could be. Zep's kit is a...

    What features do you like most about your Granturismo?

    I love the look of the Granturismo, the sound ( now even better with urutu's carbonfibre sound horns/airpipe, x pipe and Larini sports Cats pipes), the handling and, with Zep's big brake kit plus braided brake hoses , to misquote Oddball from Kelly's Heroes, I can get outta trouble quicker than...

    GT Engine Covers - Dipped in Carbon

    In my opinion, Ash's engine covers look very smart and are a big improvement over the acreage of black plastic in most Granturismo engine bays; well done, that man!! What about the scuttle under the wipers? I'm thinking dipping this panel would seriously enhance the Granturismo front end. Or...

    When fitting Larini Sport Cats and X pipe are there any other parts one might require?

    Hello Ashventini Please post how you get on with the hydro dipping/ carbon fibre effect; it's a thing I've been contemplating as the only thing I'm not too keen on is the amount of black plastic under the bonnet! Best of luck with the sports cats & X pipe, one the best moments for me was the...

    my .....reputation with the neighbours never really recovered after I rather blew our old garden bench to smithereens (what a simply marvellous word that is; not used enough these days!) one New Years eve when everyone else in the village seemed to be letting off fireworks and I had none.
