[steve garbutt]

Very nice work there, be nice to see that running

Sweet, you may have to pop over one day to show me your pocket rocket and I can show you my mid build rx4 drag rocket:)

Think maybe a local get together and a cuppa coffee at grants then

Couldn\'t agree more although not this weekend as I\'m in the hospital and gf is on way to giving birth!!!

A good couple of days and a great end result.

I ground out the bonnet air scoop and fitted some dzus fasteners to the back shut.  I\'ll get some pictures up of the finished bits and bobs but in the mean time the end result was this:

It only took 3 years to get to this point and I missed the first gear shift!

So now I need to find a volunteer to sit next to me with a laptop...

Sweet...how far did you get before the cramp set in? Ill ring you during week bit of knowledge sharing!

[Smiffers]

I only went a couple of miles down the road and back.   It is the first time it has been on the road so I just wanted to see what was going to fall of or catch fire!  The only casualty was one of the bolts in the aeroscreen.  Seems I needed a support in the middle of the screen.  I turned up a little nylon bar and broke out the double sided tape, et voila!

Also on the move I could not notice any large amount of smoke from the exhaust,  I think I need to try a long hill descent under vacuum and  then back in the power, like the old test for worn valve stem seals on a piston motor.

What was your oil temp on the move bud? My aero screen is tigersealed and braced underneath.

Good work
Looks a whole lot better.
Some of the old aero parts have surfaced on a mates V8 westy in our club

[Smiffers]

Thanks Brian!

At the time I descided I didn\'t need the aero bits and bobs but now I\'m running out of things to do and missing them!  I\'m worried that when I have run out of things on the \'to-do\' list I may actually have to go and compete in it

Off to the get all the geo and cross weights done tomorrow, then maybe Abingdon on friday for a shakedown if I\'m feeling lucky.

First event will either be Gurston Down with the WSCC on the 26th or Dimanche with your crowd at FDMC, which reminds me I must sign up for a membership!

[kiwimazda]

Sign up sir.
Not sure if I will be there. If I am I wont he competing. Saving the car for Abingdon rally in June

Is that with Motorsports-events? Its fully booked ?

[Smiffers]

It\'s not what you know!

As it turns out my suspension setup appointment fell through as did my holiday due to some last minute work commitments so no outing for me!  Day off on Friday now though so me and the garage are going to have some thinking time, maybe a couple of test trips around the village.

Im booking mine in with procomp but have a trailer and towcar issue at mo!  Neither are upto the job!

[Smiffers]

Unfortunately after failing to get in contact with pro-comp it is going to a local guy in Reading.  If you need to lend a trailer then give me a call and I can help out.

Thats great mate! Thanks if things dont slot into place i may take you up on your offer. Basically brakes are fried on trailer and ive just sold my van( too small)! so hunt is on this weekend for a more suitable tow truck and if time work on the trailer.

This friday Combe still has places on there own trackday, i\'m seriously tempted but need an airfield circuit first. Engine wise its as far back as i can go and with a shorten of airfilter pipe should tuck under bonnet as well. Been looking at humps power bulges seems loads available...hoping toget time at work tonight to fab up some engine mount spacers.

Let me know how you get on with the reading guy ?
