A lad I went to college with believed the tighter you do up plugs the more power they give you because it'll take up more space in the head, increasing compression. He did them up so tight 2 snapped.I watched an apprentice fit a spark plug with an air gun!!!
That and Ripspeed aluminium accessories.What a knob head. Everybody knows it's silicone coolant hoses that give you more power.
I think they mostly make gearstick knobs, tyre valve dust covers and tax disc holders now.
ripspeed still going?
thought they died years ago..
used to buy my racing mini bits from his shop till he sold out..
has anyone mentioned good copper grease on the threads of new plugs?
maybe the copper gives a better electrickery spark. just like the over tightening knobhead thought..
Oh yeah serious power from polished alloy rocker covers and header tanks. Should it not be Ripoff?

while they were there, a couple of brothers I used to work with were good mates of the rip brothers,
kept me up to speed on what they got up too
kieth must be as old as me? now..
