excellent 👍

I've just been introduced to a new free app "Beeline" that imports GPX files - seems to import the routes OK and will test in anger on some other routes next weekend.

Half price offer! I'll bring them over to the Malvern kitcar show on Saturday and will sell them for £25... note, this offer is only valid until Saturday morning when I leave for the show

Hi Ash have DM’d you

A052 in 13" aren't a good track tire atm, they seem to use a harder compound than the higher sizes.

I'm using the westfield reverse box cane the ass off mine still going after 8k

Stay in the car and get someone else to push! 👍👍 People are very helpful generally

At the risk of getting hanged, drawn and quartered, I have to say I really like the look of an MNR. Stands out from the Sevens crowd nicely

@DarrenKSorry to hijack the thread but what offset are your wheels please ?

That ABSOLUTELY NEVER happened 🍀

You mean Maurici turning up at 2am and bouncing an MR2 off the limiter?

Managed to driver both this afternoon - Westfield hour trip around nearby hills, MNR 15 min as it is not road legal and screaming!! ..ouch.. really loud on revs . In the end eletric reverse on MNR failed (even when IT was working , caused so much electric power drops, so voltage drops to 5#6 V and ecu and engine stops) , I was never convicted to this design (starter motor + gear wheel on propshaft). Tempted to get rid of reverse (bike engine CBR1000rr) . But maybe Is there any proper and realiable reverse solution for BEC cars??? Or just - get out of car and push?

Sounds like toooo much fun!!! I'm a potential too then 😊 Will there be overnight camp and social beforehand??

Will be there..

Put me down, will be date dependant as I have a few family commitments July/Aug

I was hoping Jack Webb Motorsport my have some suitable in stock, but I see not. Still might be worth calling them.

I have two 205 60 13 R888R in my garage. Brand new in cling film. They are now £475 Plus VAT 😂😂 Each 😬😬 I'm kidding. I do have them but they're not for sale as my rears are almost toast. If I spot any for sale though, I will alert you ASAP

I currently run Nankang AR1 185 60 13 front and 205 60 13 rear. They are 5 years old and so I think that it's time for some new ones. To try and reduce high speed corner exit understeer I plan to fit 205s on the front as well. I'm not impressed by the Nankangs so thought I'd try the Toyo Proxes R888R. But there are none available. Apparently Toyo pulled out of the UK at the beginning of the year so the only way to obtain them is to order a container load which most tyre retailers can't afford to do. Demon Tweeks apparently can, but the lead time including ocean freight is 6 months, so there will be none available until the end of August. Are there any other options?

And welcome from nearby Bewdley. I haven't been able to get to any area gatherings yet but final retirement beckons so that should change! I'll be at Malvern, hopefully see you there.

This. ^^^ A logical conclusion to be sure.

PRICE REDUCED!

The first two paragraphs seem a little redundant now..... 🙂 Check the float levels. The bowl in the carb should hold enough fuel to get you around a sharp bend or roundabout without cutting out. If the float levels are too low then you might not have such a "reserve". At the same time check cables into the spark ECU and coil pack just to be sure there's nothing loose that's cutting spark with lateral g forces. Give the cables a wiggle when the engine is running - if there's an issue with the wire you should get the same effect. There's a good few threads on what you need for changing from carbs to ITBs if you have a dig around in tech-talk.
