olskool, unfortunantly I cannot make rotorstock as it is a huge weekend for our buisness(is there a crying  emotion thingy?)
 Wish I could.  I always promised myself one of the best things about living in the uk would be the motorsport events but have always thrown self into buisness first.
  Cant wait to see photos of it doing mad crazy things though:D  Your a very lucky man.

another one of our oz cars heads to the uk!! thats a couple now i think.
 good to see its gone to a good home.

You got me fired up, now, I have been working on my \'2. Would be great to get it to Brooklands. LOADS of rust around the frame where the Steering box, and the Cross Member go  :-(.

Still, I have put one patch on, 2 or 3 to go. My welding is not that good, so I hope MOT man accepts my repair. Planning on working on it all day tomorrow and Monday.

Once the welding is done, its just a matter of replacing the ball joint rubbers, then the little plastic bush in the steering shaft near the steering wheel, then rear brake slave cylinder rubbers, and thats it.

(Apart from the wrong engine, but that\'ll come later)

< evil idea >how do you think and FD would go with a pinto in it?, \'cause I know that 13B would go reall well in the Rx2 < evil idea >:rollin

[travellinbob]

Yes Mike, that was an evil idea:D
 Oh and Martiny, if I had a pound for every plastic bush that I have or a friend has replaced in the steering column I would be a rich man:rolleyes:  Well, maybe not rich, but could definately be better off.

[MikeLMR]

it would only be temporary ... until Martin gets the 12a sorted


then that can go in the FD :rollin

[Martiny]

Ah if I had the budget,  at aleast a Turbo II engine, but for now, the 12A is lying in wait.

I have been at it all day and have made good progress. A little more welding tomorrow, and the other bits.

I remember my previous RX-2 s  suffered form that steering bush getting play in it.

Maybe its because there is no footrest, and the seats were not really for spirited driving, so we all landed up hanging on for dear life on the steering wheel in the turns!

[Martiny]

Oldskoolrotar, are you coming to Brooklands, cause I will be peeved if I have done all this work an you dont show up!!

Also, would be great to be able to park together, so whoever gets ther first can "reserve" a spot for the other.

Mind you, I still have to pass the MOT ... holding thumbs for Saturday.....
