Well, it has been up and down the road today, first report is; 1st gear is far too low but i expected this, 2nd pulls well but road is too short, as i am a tight git i will tax it 1st july then at the end of july - new wheels brakes and tyres, will worry about paint when i have time so expect to see a primered(or not even that) car at Llandow! unless I break it before then...

Woo hoo

Phil

Looks like it was a good fit on the bonnet my bonnet is clearing the plenum by about 8mm now thats close

George

So it was taxed on-line this morning and took it out for a 30 mile run, stayed dry for most of it and nothing fell off result
massive difference with an extra 100 horsepower, a few things to do get the tracking done, set up camber then play with suspension settings the rear is about right i think but we will see, the front was too firm so i have dropped it down 2 clicks and the tyre pressure's were to high(should have checked them before i took it out 30 allround) dropped them to 21 front 23 rear, i will take it out again tomorrow and see what difference the changes have made, the biggest change will have to come from me as i haven't driven anything quick for a couple of years and although its not blisteringly quick its different from what i was used to, you have to work the engine a bit like a two stroke.

Phil

glad to hear it went well and nothing fell off

I'd hoped to get out in mine today but the weather* really didn't ecourage me.


Bring it over when you are out and about next

*Came back from camping yesterday afternoon after getting flooded out, you were right: crazy idea

Yeah the weather was s***, i would have stayed dry but as soon as it starts raining everybody starts driving at 20 mph stiil i only got a little wet, if you give me a clue where you live then i will have a better chance of finding you PM me your address , i think yours may be little quicker

Phil

Phil- you have mail.

It would be good to have a run out in yours so we can compare suspension set up, mines getting better, but not sure how it should feel when it's right (if you know what I mean).

I will call you when we get a decent'ish evening, have you got a camber gauge , yours needs a bit of tinkering will have a chat about it when we catch up.

Phil

No camber guage, just spirit level, Tim did originally mention something along the lines of set upright and then one rotation of the bottom arm for road use or two rotations for track, did you have some settings?
