And that's why our Spridgets run so darn well!! I kind of chuckled when I was admonished for not recommending "high performance" tires to a questioner on the list. But you see, I don't think of stoc

I had a couple of questions about the rust removal. 1) the part should be the cathode 2) this is for steel, your anode can be steel as well 3) control the current flow by how deep you place your anod

I posted a note about two of the cars at Kane's motors a few weeks ago. I happened to drive by and noticed the MGA ($3500, very rusty) and the Lotus (body looks fine). I didn't see the other cars lis

Two years ago I considered selling my Sprite and buying a Miata. Mostly for the convenience aspects. So I drove the Sprite down to the Mazda dealer and parked next to a row of 12 gleaming new Miatas

The simple fact is windshield wipers on Sprites are quite lame. Pathetic little pieces of rubber swishing to and fro , more useul as metronomes than water removal devices. Rain-X and driving fast see

Increasing the spring tension on the bow should be easy enough. But, the blades fall apart quickly already. No one makes such teeny holders for the blades anymore. Perhaps one can cut down some other

Another possibility is an old flexible hose. Last summer, the flexible hose leading to my rear brakes failed after 25 years of service, proving that British cars are unreliable. I'm sure Eye-talian

That may well be the fastest FORD since the Pantera days. I'm sure the Jaguar model is much faster than the Mustang. Mark M. Banaszak Holl Brown University

How do you get off the mold release that many rubber parts come with? It's an unsightly grey/brown coating on the rubber. It rolls up into little balls when you rub it lightly. So far, I have tried

What kind of autocrossing and how competitive are you (not the car)? Autocrossing close to stock Sprites and MGBs is darn fun. You'll tear up the big Healys and MGs in local club type events. But, if
