Well, the site was better suited to swimming today - pressing the throttle pedal down in any gear at all just meant the mud flew higher - the car didn't go any faster Unfortunately, we had trouble with the alternator on the second run, which lost us 10 minutes whilst we bodged it back together with side cutters and tie-wraps.  However, the next few laps we barely made it around - literally creeping along sideways on full lock at 1mph through a few sections they were so slippery, and then just to top it off, on the very last lap, either the gearbox or the clutch plate let go with a bang whilst launching off the start line  Bah! ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Just a photo so I can remember what the car looked like when it was clean :hehe: That's the lightest bit of rain we got! Well, up until the racing finished, when in the usual UK-weather trick, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Extra points if you can spot the vital performance upgrade it's had! ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Well, got our nice new 15 tooth starter wheel and new clutch centre yesterday, so, in a mad rush today, we chopped the starter mount off, fitted the new pinion gear, moved the mountings welded it all back up, refitted the clutch, lifted the engine in, bolted the rear frame/cage back on, fitted the exhaust/wiring/oil/fuel lines/etc, and fired her up!With an hour of tweaking with some cold start enrichments it's now much faster at starting again, great. So, fitted the floor, seats, belts, etc, put it in gear to reverse out of the workshop and load up to go racing tommorow. And no drive. Feck. So, by this time completely knackered from rushing around, and after lots of energetic swearing, we got stuck in and ripped it all back out in about 10 minutes. Only to find the clutch pressure plate has died and there's no way of fixing it or getting a new one in time for tommorow. I am just very slightly annoyed. A little bit. About a hairs-width away from setting the thing on fire. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
