Here is a log of our progress.
Last Updated 05/31/02
05/01/02 New Catalog! We've just mailed the latest version of our catalog. It has many new parts, but with our ever expanding product range it is already becoming outdated. Look for a new section of technical articles in the back. Both K&N & ARP had large price increases so we were forced to pass these on to the end consumer. Some other parts has small increases, many have stayed the same. Quite a few prices actually went down! We've got a good supply of VP2 Bearings for A-Series. B-Series & Triumph are getting scarce!
01/25/02 Bearing Alert! A-Series rod bearings are coming in from suppliers with either Aluminum or VP2 material under the same part number! We are paying quite a bit more for genuine Vandervell and that has translated to an almost embarrassing price increase. Be assured that we check every box that comes in. Aluminum bearings are sold at a lesser price under the "A" part number. (Aluminum bearings should be fine for road cars.) MGB rod bearings are currently coming in a Lead Copper material, which so far seems to be fine.
01/01/02 Calling all links! The internet has gotten so huge you need a map. Links are perhaps the best way to find your way around. If you want to promote your British Car Club or Personal Web site we invite you to place a link on our site. All we ask is that you reciprocate with a link from your site to ours. Go here to see how.
