Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
Looking at that block work in your barn Rich - what type of bond is that then ? (obviously a non cement stack them on top of each other and hope they don't fall over bond by any chance?)

thats my pile of blocks that were stacked against the wall... honest
Potential solution for the car issue then. stack the blocks up next to it and wait for a strong gust of wind.....

update.... ive started taking it apart & the clutch is hydraulic & the bar that connects the pedal to the cylinder is bent & broken... im waiting for a copy of how to strip & refit everything.. nothing available on the net.. its the 110. the owner is thinking of scrapping it...
So is the clutch problem down to having a bent rod? that would be a really cheap fix.

If I hold my clutch 2/3 of the way down it starts sounding like a dry bearing. If this one isn't fully disengaging is it the same effect?
