Here a few that i too . same place different angle

Not sure if there was much camera carrying; certainly no one doing the manic Pete waving a camera in the air driving along routine! I grabbed a view on the phone at the Ponderossa, just to prove we were there! We we had seven in all for the Ponderossa meet up; Darren's is just out of shot there. And that's four, yes four Mega S2000's parked up, along with a V8 car and a Duratec! And Darren's car in front of a great view of the valley, parked up next to some real great condition Nissans.

Have a great run out all. I'm sorry I couldn't join you. The decision wasn't made any easier by Phil visiting in his great car last night. I 'really' need to get mine finished!

A fun project inspired by the fact my dizzy is a bit knackered and I fancied a bigger spark and a programmable ignition map. I really enjoyed the process (so far - don't know if I'm going to need an RR session yet...). Bought a complete kit from Triggerwheels for £400. 1st problem was sorting out my pulleys and fitting the trigger wheel. One of my pulleys needed changing anhow (undersized) so I took the opportunity to have a new one made (crank pulley). Installing the trigger wheel and VR sensor was easy enough (I now know how to find TDC! - my factory markings are 4 degrees out). I fitted the Megajolt under the passenger dash area against the firewall. I put the coil packs and the EDIS-8 on the scuttle(?). Everyone puts their coil packs either where the dizzy was, or on the other side of the carb. Neither I fancy. Don't want my coil packs getting that hot and I'm not keen on the look. Having the packs there has meant I've had to make my own HT leads. The kit came with two sets of 4 Ford leads with the special coil pack connectors on one end. 4 of the leads reach one side of the engine but the others don't. I took the 4 spares, and carefully dissasebled them, uncrimping the end coil connectors. I bought a 4 metre length of 8mm HT cable, plus 4 plug ends, and then made the new leads to measure - They work a charm (and meter as they should do). I knackered one connector so I'm waiting on another set of £10 leads to rob the last coil connector off. (cheaper than buying the coil connector ends from triggerwheels...). I've bodged an old lead into the coil pack for now to get it running. Then I pugged vac hose into the straight through vac port on my carb. Plugged in my laptopm (I bought a PC express serial card for my lappy - had enough of crap USB converters), turned on the ignition, and fired her up. Started 1st time! :-) Revs cleanly and I've tweaked the initial map to respond to my carb vac pressure properly. All seems dandy so far. Will test drive when the last HT lead is properly made. Overall it was a fun job and I'm glad to be rid of the clockwork. I'm going to chop my dizzy to a stump (to run the oil pump) and cap it off. The wiring loom is actually very straight forward - Ign live, earth, Saw and Pip (advance timing data), one data wire to each coil pack (4), tacho wire (which works!). That;s about it. Below - obviously not finished, has a bodged HT lead, but a lot less mess already! Oh - and as I'm an infant, and you can hot switch between two ignition maps, I put a missile style switch on the dash so I can test different maps on the fly without having my laptop in the car :-)

The odo clicked over 1000 miles just outside Nantwich on mine. Just over two hundred miles for me today. Good fun though today, enjoyed it.

It was a proper run as well. 275 miles to be exact. Nice that we didn't hit any traffic at the top of the triangle.

I disagree Adam ... useful for us new comers to understand the rules and history so we know the reasons things are as they are. Otherwise you have misinformed or disgruntled potential competitors sitting on the sidelines. I have only seen you asking questions that many others would have been thinking. I would be open minded to a class with a control tyre as I only care about WSCC - at the moment. But I wouldn't want this imposed on others who are pot hunting against other cars. I guess it comes down to numbers. If enough wanted a control tyre in a class to make it work then it could happen. Caterham do this with their academy class cars. One thing is for clear - you won't please everyone all of the time and I don't envy Nick having to draft the rules each year.#

No fitting kit, as you would get it from Playskool

I have an SEIW for sale, Has been modified to take a Seirra diff, comes with dash, all body pannels, brakes, suspension, seats, steering wheel, rack, driveshafts, roll bar etc etc etc.
