Several years ago Keith Calver wrote an article on modifying a rear brake bias valve to make in adjustable. Anyone got a copy of the article?

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Tom F mentioned it a while back. im finding it hard to find line locks let alone a throttling valve to slip the clutch.

im wondering if the line lock solenoind could be slowed down with a resistor to give a slow opening and therefor controlled clutch operation. would be alot of trial and error to get it right though. perfection isnt easy though ey!

The beautiful sprint that is Hastons car is it not? is it a system that he is secretive about?

I would love to find out more about it but i wouldnt want to annoy anyone. He has obviously put alot of time into the system and wouldnt be suprised if he wanted to keep the information to himself.

I do not have a problem doing my own R+D on a system of this sort of system afterall, if i had spent my time/money developing it i would probably be reluctant to throw the info around as well.

I just like the idea is all.
