I'm struggling here...
Basically, I'm considering forced induction on my Polo. I've seen people succesfully use Renault 5 Turbo carbs (Solex 32 DIS) with either a Turbo or a Supercharger.
Now, I already have Aldon Amethyst (programmable ignition control) which works alongside the Distributor (with advance mechanism locked). I have the N/A version which has a vacuum input.
I understand that a Turbo would require variable timing with accordance to boost, as it would be possible to let off the throttle at high RPM and not be generating boost (so the timing could be advanced back to near N/A levels). BUT, would a Supercharged application run with a fixed advance curve? Seeing as the the boost level will be the same at partial throttle?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Fungus

Give Vehicle Wiring Products a ring, although the they don't list anything they might be able to help.
Failing that, cut the plug off a scrapper.

I'm after some 1980's/early 90's wheels for my Polo, Preferably 14-15". I'm not too fussed about having to get some PCD adapters so that opens up my options a bit.
Thanks

No got much info but this has come up on Facebook, stolen from Bristol last night/early this morning. It's an early 80's Polo saloon (pretty rare) in blue, with powdercoated BBS Mahle's (not sure on size, maybe 14x6). I'll post the reg number when I have it. Please contact me with any info.

You could always tell the bloke to post it to me?
Although it sounds like he might struggle....

Yeah I'll need the part in order to draw it up. 310mm seems fine

I can't help with collection but depending on how large the part is I can replicate it using CAD and 3D print some more

I know nothing about Peugeot's so excuse my ignorance, but...
I have a XU7 1.8 from a 405, one owner from new and full service history.

I know it's a huge longshot but I'm looking for a starter motor (including drive/gear system) for a 1956 Bentley S1 straight 6.
Thanks

Sorry if I've missed it, but what size are the wheels?

Off topic, but did you deliver a load of Yamaha Aerox parts to me in Essex, in said Fiesta, about 4 years ago?

Still got these.
The Red Formel is no longer for sale as it's going in my Polo, sorry.

Awesome thread, so much knowledge!
I've found myself restoring a 1956 Bentley S1 on my days off from uni, and I'm making all the panels. Here's a few pics of various bits.
I've never done any panel making before so this thread was perfect. I used a piece of round-bar with a slot in the end to create the beveled edges, it even worked on the foglight mounting hole.
(pics won;t work, hold on)

How about some 13x6 revolutions? Mint condition

Looks clean!
Give it a Damon good service (oil, filters, plugs) and a cambelt if possible (very easy on these, great place to learn) and it won't let you down. A GT cam would be an ideal upgrade whilst you're in there.
Check out my build thread, I've got a Mk2 Coupe
