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...
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...
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...

Have had the Larini Sports Cats and X pipe fitted to the Granturismo by the Sportsitalia chaps - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! Giggle factor? Off the scale!! If you are considering doing this I HIGHLY recommend it. Makes you want to drive with the Windows down, even when it's nippy out and...
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. I did...
Hello Murray,
Dale did some work for me about three weeks ago: as previously posted I'd try Whatsapp, or messaging via his website ( he replied same day using that)
I hope that helps you.
And a very Merry Christmas to all, also!
