Fortunately the guy that should have won our class this year - mainly by dint of us missing a few events - found the course too rough, as his car went bang, so unless he manages to fix it in two weeks, we're back in with a shot at winning the 2wd championship, as long as we finish 1st in the next one.... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Right, new pads, some tweaks to get some more power from the ignition coils (so it can still fire cleanly >10krpm), change of fluids, and we should be good to go for this weekend.Gotta have some more revs. for gravel tracks  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yes, didn't get back while about 11pm.Unfortunately, despite being the fastest 2wd by a long shot there, we got two punctures, both on the rear axle, that left us stranded at the far side of the course By the time we'd been back to service and rolled two wheels and a jack through the woods for 4 miles, we couldn't complete enough runs to finish the event. Bah. The car had been spinning the wheels on the rims somewhat early on in the day, which probably helped towards them getting thrown off the bead by the rocks. We do have some 16x8J steelies in the making to fit over the winter though, which will let us step up to more aggressive tyres with 8 ply Kevlar sidewalls instead of the 3 ply nylons we are currently having to run, should sort that out. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

One for you photoshop wizards out there, trying to decide on paintwork for next year, can someone do all the bare aluminium on the car the same red as the rest of the chassis, and then the same in black/any other colour scheme you reckon would suit.Ed wants it all red but I think it'll just make the arse end look huge. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

3 weekends to get it back together and it currently looks like this:  Hmm, tiny little bit of work left then? Sounds like our competition has stepped it up this year - there's a two new 2wd buggies arriving, both built with about 10 times our budget, so we'll be doing well if we win any! One's a spaceframe with a fibreglass shell over it to look like a car, similar to the construction of the 4wd cars, but with a civic type-r engine, sequential gearbox, bypass shocks all around, limited slip diff, and long travel double wishbones, all brand new parts - not scrapyard monkies like us - similar power and weight to us, but should have lots more traction and grip, and should be much more aerodynamical, so faster on the high speed tracks. The other is a little single-seater buggy, clothed in carbon fibre, with a turbocharged hyabusa engine in the back, sequential box with the quaiffe back end and diff, should be a good 150 kilos lighter than us and that too is on long arm double wishbones, bypass shocks, and should be 40-50bhp up on us. Bugger! ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM meEmail me!

Right, engine and gearbox are back, still got all the wiring/plumbing/radiators, etc, to go back though, altered the driveshaft CV's to give us another degree of travel at the back, reset the suspension - still got all the rear cage/plate/bonnet to sort out though, along with painting all the new wheels________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
