Re: Spain Classic Raid

What do you mean by caravan gear? low hold More like a mid hold :wink: It is between the mountain switch and the normal. Basically a ´sports´ setting. Got the extra 12V socket in and swapped the ashtray for a rev counter. Looks nicely uncluttered. Counting down now; we´re off Friday at sunrise.

Re: Spain Classic Raid

Good luck! Liking the mods :) We´ve also dropped in a hotter cam and swapped the paper air filter for a K&N one. The only thing left to do to the engine is switch the wires of ignition timing sensor to give a mite more advance. For the rest we took only a few bits off. All in all about 50 kilos. No...

Re: Lightweight bonnet

Euh, I think I will go for the guaranteed lightweight one to spend money on.

I know from experience that glass fiber has a looooong learning curve. Never mind the gel coat.

Re: Lightweight bonnet

Btw he ships insured. @Benji1985; Well, you can do the bonnets too if you prefer :-) Have a look at the Pesch.cz site and see if you can up with the quality and price. He says he can have it done in a a few weeks after receiving the original. After all the talk about light weight hoods I could find ...

Re: Lightweight bonnet

Applies to me to :idea: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Nevertheless, I am prepared to take the 'risk' for the price. I think all interested parties should be a bit flexible in this as it is not an off the shelf with 2 years warranty car product. Anyway, he will probably need a hood sent as example an...

Lightweight bonnet

Buenos chicos. When preparing an Alfa 75 I came across Pesch in Czechosovakia. He made me a fiberglass bonet for 90 Euro. Prices have risen since to a staggering 93 Euros including VAT :lol: He was also very reasonable in shipping costs. I have dropped him a mail about making one for the 300 and no ...

Re: 340 cvt for raid

Oh man, 8 days of incredible motoring fun. So much so that we decided on 2017 during the event. Although it is not a flat out race; not a speed event, for most of the route it is VERY hard to stay on the ball even with a relatively modern proper 4x4. We are not aiming for a lot better, in fact not a...

Brilliant, hopefully you won't be bottoming out anywhere now :) Well, there is always hope, but realistically there is more chance on winning the lottery :lol: The main raid we want to do is some 2500 kilometers of dirt 'roads' through Spain, crossing several serious mountain ranges and two deserts...
