Unfortunatly being an airfield day you couldnt get too close so a lot of them are from quite a distance!

 Lets offroad! Can't believe how high the front end looks in those pics! I had to send the coilovers back for repair as they are making a terrible knocking noise, so I was back on my old standard shocks with Eibach 30mm lowering springs for the day, yeuch!

Got my coilovers back today and fitted them this evening, apparently they were too soft and were going coilbound and that was the knock I was feeling   Whatever it was it's gone now, but what I have noticed is that with 40mm of thread showing under the lowest lockring on both sides, the drivers side gap from the top of the tyre to the underside of the wheelarc lip is 15mm bigger than on the other side and I can't think why for the life of me, it sat skewed the std. shocks on too. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

The Rallye is officially dead!  I was 5-6 laps into my first track session at Combe today when suddenly my engine developed a high frequency vibration and a squeal that then instantly beacame terminal bottom end knock. She then siezed in the pits and had to be trailered home with the AA. (Someone will be along to post up pics I'm sure) Gutted  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I know, it sounds sad but I don't feel complete without my car these days, when it was off the road for a fortnight while I was p*ssing around fitting the bodies and such I genuinely felt down. Now she is properly broken I feel really shit. Going to have to play second-hand engine Russian roulette now too, and if that's not a recipe for disaster I don't know what is. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

What do you think has caused the engine to go bang on you just like that ? surely rebuild your engine your self with your friends with the know how is going to be the best option, Then just buy a litle smoker to get to A to B ________________________________________ "Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.
