We've all experienced it - a cantankerous engine that fires on one cylinder just as that Lucas starter kicks out! What an improvement to have a starter that cranked the MOTOR as long as you wanted. These direct drive starters do that!
We've taken a modern Japanese high torque starter and machined a mounting flange to mate it to an A-Series engine. It has a proper solenoid that positively engages the starter when the switch is activated, and it is powerful enough to c

How about 124 HP with SU carbs!! We achieved that figure on Mincomp's engine dyno when bolting this slightly modified aluminum cylinder head to a 1275cc+.040 RACE engine. We've increased the intake valves to 1.4" and done some very slight polishing to the casting seams. While you won't generate these numbers on a street MOTOR, you can see that the potential is there to get maximum possible performance from any engine.
From AP Racing in Coventry, England this bonded and rivited clutch disc is designed for abuse. Works best in RACE and rally use but can often be found in the BIG MOTOR street cars. The material is very aggresive to ensure complete hook-up every time you let the clutch out but still not so agressive as to cause excessive wear on the flywheel or pressure plate.
If you want performance then you know you have to get as much air into the cylinder as possible! The bigger the valves the more this is possible! The stock Sprite MOTOR has only 1.3" intake valves, the stock Cooper "S" has 1.41" intake valves. Our Special Big Intake valve is 1.464"! This is a competition quality valve that will also work long and hard on any street car! Our RACE valves are produced in EN214N steel, stellite tipped and use th
