Hello all. After some time waiting, my authorisation link arrived today so here I am saying hello.
I am a member of the SOC and a regular now on that forum, so expect I will recognise some of the names here in due course.
Here's a picture of mine which is a late 74 car running with a RV8. The PO had a full restoration done in 2001 by E Ward and Faversham's and it's been off the road since 2002.I bought it a few weeks ago and have so far cut back the paint and repolished. It is going to my local garage on Friday to get it running and then MOT's 0 I will soon find out how well I bought!
^^^ Taken this weekend after I had cut and polished the whole nearside and the off-side of the bonnet.

I was advised by RPI Engineering that the filter is too much and affects torque at low / mid rpm. They advise blocking off 70 / 80 % using gaffer tape or simmilar would improve matters & they were right.
so maybe big is not always best.
Interesting point Steve

I'm currently fitting a Rover 3900 V8 with fuel injection & the inlet on it is 75mm diameter' as si the recommended filter, so maybe big is not always best. |

Welcome to the forum - Sorry on the delay of the authorisation link, been dead busy... "My Fault".
Looks like we're finally getting busy around here. recognise a few names from the SOC forum!
Glad to have you here!
Great looking Stag piscean57 doesn't look like it's been sat for any length of time at all!

Looks nice- has it been wrapped in cotton wool since 2002?
Good luck with the MOT - I've found a local garage that seems to have an understanding of the older car due to my wife's '89 Porsche 944 - so had a chat with him about the Stag, so will take mine there (eventually) but not expecting an easy ride.
Let us know how you get on!
