Hey up chaps, just a quick update on the Davrian, having kind of taken the advice of Dave and wanting to get on and drive it the front end is now complete, everything wire wheeled within an inch of it's life and smoothrited, front wishbones back on and polybushed, AVO coil overs courtesy of Tim D fi...

Hey up Iain, were you racing on Saturday (car no 72), I tried to find you in the paddock after the race, the car looked well planted but a rather lonely race. Dick, havd you got the Davrian yet? Estimated time to get mine back on the road is 4 weeks so could meet up at the local imp club meet if it ...

Oh balls, I'm going on Saturday as I can't make Sunday

It sure is a lot of money, but it is rather tidy, not sure I like the front light treatment but that's just personal choice, a couple of interesting points are that it appears to have a rear mounted fuel tank and the front and rear sections are not removable, is this as it should be or modifications...

Hi Dick, Sorry I haven't got back to you I've been mega busy with stuff (unfortunately not Davrian stuff), I got your text message and you are more than welcome to drop by and have a look at my Mk5, evenings are usually fine and so is this Saturday (at the moment), give me a call and we'll sort some...

Cheers

I'm guessing that most Davrian's have now been converted to front discs and I intend to do the same for ease of maintenance and to overcome brake fade under heavy braking, I'm currently looking at a 8.5" Micra caliper set up which should be ok. Reason for the post is to ask if there are any maj...

Further to my last post my Davrian was delivered to me last weekend so please see below some photos of it as received: Rear of Dav.JPG front of dav.JPG It's a Mk4 with a Mk5 front (I was told), it does run and has a standard sport engine with strombergs, the gearbox is ok as is the clutch, as you ca...

Hi Hal. The k1200 looks light a good idea especially as its 135bhp, a slant 4 and light. I've had a quick mooch on ebay and this came up: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301059773199?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I'm not very clued up on bikes but this looks to be the engine/bike ...

Thanks for the input regarding the Kent and A series engines, I'm not hard over on re-engining the Dav just exploring the options as there are more out there compared to when it was conceived. I'm still yet to have the car delivered so am throwing ideas around in my head really not just about the pr...
