I've found that I will soon moving to a house thats just 5 miles from a station that sells proper, leaded, 98ron fourstar fuel.
Are there any adjustments I should make to get the full benefit of this stuff or just fill 'er up and go? (84 euro non cat 3.2) http://www.leadedpetrol.co.uk/list.htm EDIT: It's 99.7ron

Evem though you don't have a cat, unleaded is still better for your engine as long as adequate octane is available.
Your sparkplugs and oil will thankyou

yeah but one can never get enough of the lead...crank the timing up some and give it a whirl...leaded smells great
.I doubt you would be able to fill it right into your tank from the pump..thats against the law and if a cop catches you or an EPA official..you are gonna get slapped with a big fine and so is the gas station. I used to bring a 5 or 6 gallon container and mix it with what i have left in the tank. Straight lead is nice but it kills your O2 sensor. Carbuerated cars seem to run really good on the stuff.

Bluebullet,
I'm pretty sure 911mot lives in England.

Leaded? This poses an interesting thought: won't the lead benefit the valves and valve guides? I imagine you would need to adjust the spark plugs for the change in fuel (?).

What a great idea. I'm going to Walmart to by some lead fishing weights to grind down into a fine powder and dump in my gas tank right away!

"-MotorClean Internal Engine Cleaner- Is the inside of your motor dirty? Most likely! Some people will tell you the only way to clean your motor is to tear it down and rebuild it. This is no good!!! KaleCo internals cleaner is a special combination of iron, graphite, and copper shrapnel of assorted sizes that work to sand and polish the inside of your motor! Add 2oz per quart of oil in your car. New engine clean powder should be used at every oil change! Bottle includes pouring mechanism. Comes in 16oz packages. Do not eat."

Thanks for the tip Harry, It's simply BRILLIANT! What can I do to improve my transmission. I've heard saw dust will quite things down a bit.

Heavy Duty Clutch Belt- A long time ago when the transmission began to slip, you'd know it was time for a rebuild. But! Rebuilds are costly, and half the time, not neccesary. What you may be experiencing is clutch-belt failure! KaleCo heavy duty kevlar belts are made with the quality you can expect from KaleCo. Please specify diameter and width of belt when ordering.
