High performance Mk.2 cams primarily used on Vincent Lightnings but can be used on any Vincent V-twin.  These "hot" cams stamped 2F and 2R, were on my '49 Black Shadow when restored by Dick Busby a number of years ago as it had a racing pedigree.  I replaced them after about 9 years of exciting use for the milder Mk.3 cams.  There was a noticeable performance improvement with the Mk.2s especially at higher RPMs.  I had to be ready to slow down, downshift or prepare to stop with the brakes when out for a ride.  These cams are readily usable on any V-twin without modifications.

 

Audi Urban Concept again, this time with photos and detail

Mon, 12 Sep 2011

Audi Urban Concept EV- just a posh toy car It looks like we may have to dub the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show the EV Go-Kart show, such is the proliferation of fun – if ultimately rather pointless – electric go-karts. And today, just ahead of its debut, we get real photos and decent detail on the Audi Urban Concept EV. We’ve had the teasers for the Audi Urban Concept and a set of CGI images a few weeks ago, but now we get photos of the real car (is car the right word?) and some detail about its powertrain and abilities.

Porsche buyers put the brakes on stop-start technology

Mon, 23 Jun 2008

By Chris Chilton Motor Industry 23 June 2008 18:56 Direct injection and a clever new PDK dual-clutch gearbox have cemented the new 911’s reputation as the greenest performance car around, but Porsche engineers are being hampered from making the iconic sports car even cleaner by the public’s reluctance to accept further green technology Engineers at the launch of the facelifted 911 told CAR that fitting a BMW-style start-stop system could chop a further 10g/km from the Carrera’s 225g/km CO2 rating but that performance car buyers weren’t keen on having such overtly planet-conscious tech on their cars. Start-stop works by cutting the engine when the car’s stationary in traffic, and restarting automatically when you touch the pedals to move off again. Every manual transmission-equipped BMW 1-series comes with the technology, excepting the truly high performance versions.
