 Let us know where and when... Is it going to be like the scene in Pulp Fiction with the cellar, the box and chain when you appear? Except with a welding mask on  "Is t'car broke..?"  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

 Nothing quite so much fun, Special Stage on Motors TV are covering the championship, only a 15-minute slot though so we'll have to make sure we do something stupid every time to make sure we're on... ...on past form, that won't be too hard.... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Right, wiring ripped out, new connectors here, ready to start making a fresh new loom again, what fun. Only 4 weeks before the first race and the car's a frame with some suspension on at the moment! redfaceEd's just mounting the new fans whilst I 'enjoy' rewiring the car. Looks like the new rear damping system is going to have to wait until the second event, as we'll be pressed to get everything together and the car shook down for some testing at this rate, haven't heard back on the gears yet either frown ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Well, spent the weeking fabricating the new front mudguard mounts, made new steering tie-rods, and stripped the steering rack.Rack had loads of play in it and no provision for any adjustment for wear and tear, so I had to sand the whole case down by hand with wet + dry paper, until it got back to a nice, tight sliding fit again, then bond tiny strips of 0.25mm thick shim steel to the rack bar to bring it back into proper engagement with the pinion, and then make some more tiny strips of shims to give the appropriate clearance back on the casing, as well as changing all the support bearings. It involved lots of swearing. And it's a good job the firm that make the rack have gone bust so I can't go over the pond and kick them square in the nuts. Even started rubbing down and painting the front arms, shiny things on the car for once! ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
