Well the car is no longer for sale.
I had a couple of genuine lookers and a few tire kickers.
We have 2 events in April and hope to bring it home in one piece.
The 51mm carb is now on and the water leak pluged.
The adj top mounts will be on by Sunday night then to get the caster/camber set to the factory racing series one settings.
The polycarb windows are just about done and should be in by next week.
Still working on the rear screen. Its a mongrel.

Well we are nearly ready to go again.
The piston eater is just about back to gether with only a small hand full of jobs to be done before a sprint on 9th March at Rushmoor arena in Farnborough.
Currently trying to get some supper soft sticky tyres to hide in the back of the van so they can be put on should the need arise.
The fibreglass bonnet has turned into a joke. It seems that local composite people dont want any work as they have plenty. I think not from what I saw at one place yet I was told they are flat out. Standing there doing nothing and not a piece of work in sight. Must have been some new invisible grp thyey were working on.
However over the next couple of weeks we should have a bonnet or two made by meeeee.
Ive kindly been lent a mould and will endevour to make mess of it myself.
2 weeks after this sprint I have another back at Longcross in Chertsey.
Hopefully the new tyres will help there as I was thrashed last time by a V6 Sierra thing with 2 turbos and 4wd.
We will see

Please keep us informed of your progress

Chertsey is just down the road. Will come and watch if I can.

What a day.
We finally got the car back together at about 10pm last night and then a small amount of painting first thing before the birds had coughed and sneezed.
Noise test was completed. 103db @ 4500rpm.

During the first run the car developed a nasty flat spot while accelerating. It was almost like it was flooding the engine. Then the powers to be said the car was to loud  :confused: But it passed noise test.

So to please the nation I put the "quiet" rear box on and they were happy.
They then re tested at the end of run 2. 102db @ 4500rpm.
They were still happy.
We got around the flat spot and raced with a light right foot off the start for the first 100 yds the nailed it.
2nd in class was the end result and I am thrilled with that.
No damage, just got to put petrol in it before the next event on 23 april and sort flat spot :3gears-lh

[kiwimazda]

Might have sorted the flat spot.
After speaking to Pip at Wgt we looked at the fuel pressure only to find it was set to 6psi. Ouch.
This has been reduced and the next doors are now pleased to hear the car rev freely.  :evillaugh

[MikeLMR]

you sound like an ideal next door neighbour ... maybee we should have an MRC neighbour swap scheme ... swap either your annoyed neighbour with a rotor head or vica versa .. the annoyed neighbours could all live next to each other and all the rotor heads could live next door and be as noisy as the like

... I\'ve even found a street sign to suit  :Giggle

[kiwimazda]

Development continues. The headlights and assemblies are now out and some very nice covers back in their place.
New pads fitted up front and the lightwheight bumper fitted at the rear.
As I am trying to keep the car as origional looking from the outside ( for now :evillaugh ) There is not a lot more I can do.
We have a start number of 45 for next weekends event at Chertsey.
There is 11 in our class including the Mk2 Escort that won last weekend and a bit of a dark horse, a Honda Integra type R. The rest of them should be no problem as most were at Rushmore last weekend.
Out of the 11 only 6 of us are registered for championship points so  2nd in class would be a good result.

The next event after that is a sprint at Abingdon Air field near Oxford on 10th June
 :cheers

[mpk490p]

cool would be nice to see you educate a few people on the power of the rotary!
im surprised you havent taken the side mouldings off and gone for some smaller mirrors

[kiwimazda]

Results are in.
The day was wet and it was very slippery.
Noise test was Ok and the first practice run saw a nice sideways drift through the turn only to run out of road. Ooops.
No damage and the rest of the day progressed well. The times were coming down well.
1st in class was a Honda integra Type R.
Now I\'m not making excuses but the guy in that car is very very quick, so I was well plesed with 2nd in class, 1st championhip contender for points and I beat the car that was 1st in class 2 weeks ago. He wasn\'t pleased as I found out he had a new engine and has invested around 30k on this car. Mine is no where near that.
But a good day was had by all and it is ready for the next outing in June.
Just have to change the diff oil and give it some petrol.
