Beans Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Quoted from Trebor ... black is good ...

Beans Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 With the arrival of the new FHC plans have been revised slightly.Although the black steels were only fitted a few months ago to the DHC they had to go ...[Sorry, album link no longer available]... in favour of the Wolfrace Turbo's that came with the FHC, which have been reconditioned over the past few weeks.Together with new 185/70-13 tyres and a bit of bling added by re-chroming the special nuts and washers.Only have to find (or make) some wheel centres ...

bobTR7 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Beans, Its a fine looking car whatever wheels you put on it - but the black suits it better, IMO.Can I just ask what camera you use and if you use a filter?Its just that your car and landscape photos look so bright and well balanced.

Have to agree there a bit, but I always wanted a set of these Wolfrace wheels for the DHC ... (and see previous post 🙂)As for the camera(s) most pictures of the driving events or while working on th ecars are shot with a Canon G1-X (shooting in RAW with camera set on manual or Av-1).Compared to my other two (DSLR) camera it is rather compact and light. And gives very good quality pictures.And I do have a calibrated Eizo photo-screen, and all photos are "developed" using CameraRAW and PS CS6, no filters used.

Beans Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Did encounter a small problem during the 10CR, namely the original fan shroud didn't fit properly on the new radiator.Decided to fabricate a new shroud that would envelop the fan completely making the fan more efficient and keep the engine bay a bit cleaner.

Beans Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Finished a service of the car today, in preparation for the Taith O Amgylch Cymru.A summary of the things I encountered;Spark plugs which looked pretty good after nearly 24.000 kilometres;A fuel filter that has seen some water pass through;A new fuel pump because the one I fitted the day before last years 10CR also developed a leak;And rather murky "running-in" gearbox oil, glad I decided on an oil change; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jango Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 It looks like tar not oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 It behaved oil-ish 😀With fresh oil (and ±2250 km in Wales last weekend) the gear change has improved 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
