Well, the weather was fantastic, the course was nice - albiet a bit of an outright power course - lots of fast stuff, the engine didn't explode, the temperatures stayed reasonable, all the wheels stayed on, new brake pads feel like someone threw a brick wall in the way, the new suspension held up just fine and the car rides the rough stuff like a bloody magic carpet with a rocket up it's arse  Unfortunately, we had the Curse Of Waterbeach return in an exact re-run of last year the bloody throttle cable snapped just before the finish on the last lap! After burning our hands and removing a few yards of skin trying to wedge it open to trundle the last straight to the finish in first, we had to give up and take a maximum, a little unfortunate as it was feeling pretty quick all day. See what we were doing when the run times come through on Tuesday (issue with the timing printer/computer today), car was much easier to drive with the new suspension though. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Right, the drill and hammer has been out and she now sports 2 throttle cables, take that yer swine  Rear dampers are apart to give a little more damping to match the new spring rates, and the driveshafts have been tweaked to give us another 20mm of rear suspension travel. Next job is to pull the front suspension apart and replace the worn bearings and bushes (again), and perhaps some tweaks to the side scoops to flow some more cool air around the gearbox as the oil is getting a bit warm. And beat all the dents out of the skid pans with a sledgehammer  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Lots, and lots, and lots and lots and lots of water from the sky.I'll give a race report in a week when I've dried out...but there's a lovely shiny trophy in the house.... Unfortunately my knee's still f*cked so I ended up giving up my navigators seat and spannering, but I kept getting bacon butties and cake delivered so I'll put up with that for one race ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

First time I let a lass have a ride in the passenger seat, think he got distracted....Shrader valve bust in the front damper, hence the weird bounce that fires it into the fence. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Still having issues with the scanner so had to resort back to taking pictures of pictures again...hence the flare from the lights (and the cut off top on one, whoops!I've only took a few of them, I'll get some more pictures up when the scanner is sorted out, the rest are more of the same - most of the wheels in the air as per usual All from Walters or Waterbeach.         ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Forgot to mention, 1st in class again (in fact, only 2wd that didn't crash and die, blow up, break or get run into...won by atrophy!)7th overall. And because we've been fairly consistant pace-wise no matter what the conditions, we've now moved up to 3rd overall in the championship And just to top it off, Kershaws currently leading the BCCC again in that 206, not bad considering he's been going to sell it for the past year and only decided a few weeks before to get it back out of retirement and have another go:  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Right, had the rear dampers apart and put in some more low speed rebound - to compensate for the friction lost with the new rear suspension - and also put some more compression damping in the range for landing over jumps, as it's a touch soft at the back at the minute. Sounds simple but it was a pain in the arse See how it fairs this time out - probably tweak the fronts a bit to match but we'll see how it goes first. Two new aluminium plates ordered for the sump and gearbox guards too as we've worn a hole in them... And two new mudguards, give the hole in the rear one from firing a rock through it off the rear tyre, and the post incident with the front one! ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Side seal again, I don't think they're up to the heat level. The course was a bas**rd for heat though, long slogs up the hill and then they'd drop you straight down, hairpin, and slog back up it, so couldn't keep any momentum up.There were quite a few engines with more bits outside though from the heat... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
