Переглядів 945Місяць тому
The rear springs on Bugeye Sprites are an important part of the suspension. After 60 years on the road, original leaf springs wear out, break, or are rendered otherwise ineffective. In this video, David describes how much your Bugeye's ride can be improved with new quarter-elliptical leaf springs!

"Milano", early-production Bugeye Sprite: a wolf in sheep's clothing! Zoom!
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Місяць тому
At first glance, this Primrose Yellow 1958 Bugeye Sprite may look like any other Bugeye, but this car is very special in two distinct ways: firstly, this is an early-production car, one of the first 500 cars produced after Austin-Healey commenced production in the spring of 1958. Secondly, its drivetrain holds a secret: the stock 948 and smooth case transmission have been replaced with a superc...
Bugeye Sprite Tach drive trouble!
Переглядів 3362 місяці тому
The tachometer in an Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite is driven off of the back of the generator. This generator's tach drive apparatus had seen better days: the bushing in which it was housed is severely worn, allowing the drive to wobble around and grind the tach drive gearbox to a pulp. Time for a new generator/alternator! You can find them in our parts catalog, bugeyeguyparts.com!

    I had a 58 MGA Coupe, I used to use the hand crank and give the engine a few turns before hitting the starter in winter. The car would never start when temperature was below 32F till I replaced the pull with a Ford solinoid and a push button.

    my first car was a 1963 Midget in Detroit, Mi (1968). When I moved to Los Angeles I got a 1959 Austin Healy Frog Eye (1974). Sprite Mk I Rules it's was spray painted on the underpass pillar at the junction of SB I-5 and EB on The Ventura Fwy (134) by the LA Zoo. So it MUST be true, good times 'n fond memories. You're cars are beautiful thank-you for all your videos.

    Kinda the way I used to drive my old VW. It had a full crashbox, no synchros on any gears. 1st and 2nd were sliding gears and howled only the way straight-cut gears can howl. 3rd and 4th were helical constant-mesh, still no synchros. Took awhile to master that thing, but I loved knowing how to double-clutch it all the way down to 1st.

    Not a fan of this, sorry, I’d prefer less customising, and more concentration on things like panel gaps, see the first pass down the side early in the vid. And at 4.20-ish, the bonnet/hood to A pillar gap compared to the door hinge edge gap. But each to his own…
