I tryed to contact hayward but his mobile isnt on or I have wrong number. He havent respond to My emails but I think I send them to the hacked count and he doesnt use it. So thats My Bad. He would have a opinnion to clutch issue and actually it would be his Job to provide it as I payd for it to him....

Clive, of course advice is much appreciated.

Awful mobile phone reception where the garage is. Send a letter? Lol. He could do with an e reception service.

i know Finnish post office. Would be quicker, cheeper and easyer to bring the letter by foot, eventhough UK is an island.

Little updates from our rallycross series...
So our friend Vesa won, third time in a row, with his Fiat 1/9. And he retired and sold the car...
Toni with his rotary Starlet was 5th, he was really good and consistent thru year...
Janne with his rotary Volvo PV was 18th. Basically last event gave him two points and he did pass our Janne in overall points..
So our Janne with Lada was 19th. Even though that position is not what we were after this year, we have to be happy. More than 43 racers in really really tough series, so 19th is ok result...

After season, a week ago, Janne gave us opportunity to test his Lada at HyvinkÃ¤Ã¤ track. That was wrickinÂ´ fun!

I have never driven his car, except moving few meters at pits. And track is unfamiliar to me, only driven few times in street car around it. Conditions were slippery, VERY!

Car is actually really easy to drive. Chassis and suspension works really well, and car isnt as stiff as I thought. Fast steering was a little tricky. Didnt trust brakes at all, with bike brakes, I didnt believe it could stop. Front grip was quite good even in those conditions, no understeer at all. Makes me think that how much front would grip in warmer tyres and tarmac. Rear tyres brakes traction quite easily, because power and cold weather. But even when rear starts to slide, it isnt bad, and you can adapt fast, very neutral, locigal and smooth. Car actually dont like to be in massive slide. Overall rear acceleration grip is good. At any point there wasnt a feeling that Lada would tell me "you made a mistake, you die now"

Then that 4 speed dogbox, what can I say, I love it.

And that engine, good damn its awesome! I was waiting power peak at 4000rpm, but no, power is there immidiately and there is a LOTS of that! There is so much torque that you can drive with higher gear and there where no need to rev it high. I think I didnt went even near rev limiter

For fun, I just watched my lap times. First round I made about 1:10-1:12, and second round about 1:08. I think I could do 1:02 with few more laps easily. Ofcourse its not near what that car can do. I think Janne best is 0:56:5 at the moment...

So here is a vid, enjoy, even its a bad one

Always liked a Starlet

Yes, true. And for second session, I moved cameras angle abit...

I was really really cautious, we knew that track, especially tarmac was almost like it was rained. And one person before me spinned at tarmac

I cant explain how awesome it was! Janne has done amazing job with that car, it's so easy to drive...
