I think it is the last thursday in the month, so probably the 28th. Hoping to bring Jasper (Nissanman) who is building a very tasty Stylus - first pic just posted on site. Also plan to be at Farnborough to support Matt on his first sprint on Oct 1st. I was supposed to be going over to France in the V8 with a couple of friends in Cateringvans next weekend (still talk to them despite their primitive aerodynamics :twisted: ) but will miss out for the second year running due to family committments. Next year perhaps! More work on the garage tomorrow to get a concrete floor laid ready to knock the back wall out. Have found a 2.3 base engine for the RT to replace the zetec but it's a Ranger engine, and believe the Focus spec engine may be more suitable.....must find out the difference. If i can manage to get the back wall out and doors in by the time the RT arrives, will definately keep the V8 - feel uneasy when people call. Rimmers have suggested a Weber and LPG (only) conversion on it with Magnecor leads and an amplifier to increase the spark. One of their guys has done it on his RV8 car, and he is saving a genuine 50% on fuel compared to a Holley on petrol. Tickover speed can be reduced, and his engine runs better rather than worse. The tank would replace the spridget petrol tank. Just one problem......if you run out of gas it is a recovery job :oops:
