As I recollect when I spoke to Charles at Real Steel, he didn't say that Valvoline wasn't any good just that some other oils such as Penrite has a higher level of zinc, more = better? Apparently not if you read the test in the following link: http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35836 Bear...

13lb standard for a Tiger I believe. My radiator cap has number 7 stamped on it, so I would assume that's 7lb? It works fine, did so with the original radiator and now with the new alloy Concept Racing rad. I run 50/50 distilled water and blue antifreeze. So potentially I could improve the performan...

Following a 725 mile round trip to Harrogate for the Nationals I can now report back that the BCC calipers do make a substantial improvement over the standard setup. On normal road driving they give much more confidence in braking, but it was on our drive over the Yorkshire Moors that I saw the bigg...

I fitted a diaphragm clutch last year when I overhauled my engine. The clutch I had was a Sachs unit from Real Steel. The pedal pressure is slightly lighter but not a great deal. I changed the flywheel as well. So far it's done nearly 7000 miles including last years Monte Tour and the Stelvio on the...

New front brake caliper option for Tiger
Last week I did some testing at Llandow Circuit using BCC Thruxton 4 pot front brake calipers. Good fun but not kind on my tyres! We did back to back runs with the original calipers and the BCC Thruxton (Tiger), calipers I've been helping to develop. These new calipers will fit under 13" wheels and ...
