Re: B14 Cam upgrades
If you are interested in a cam upgrade for your b14, get in touch with Geoff at Autosprint. He reground my cam to fast road spec, and provided uprated valve springs for a package price of 135 GBP. Also factor in that to make the most out of such a cam, uprating compression and maybe portmatching you...

Well, it's basically a 343 gearbox with different mounts, attached to a shortened prop. I think it uses a CVT bellhousing with manual innards, because the manual bellhouse won't clear the firewall. I'll try to get some pics up soon. It's very much the same car as a 340 in terms of general layout and...

Been watching this for a while, as a DAF-owner and total anorak: so here it goes. Your b130 has 57 DIN HP standard. By just adding a two-stage Weber 32DIR carb off a 343/345/340 1.4 you will get around 65 DIN HP (not all 1.4's have Webers, some have the utterly useless Solex carb). The other option ...
