So 7 months ago i started my winter upgrades. The upgrades started as planning as an engine and gearbox change from silvertop zetec and mt75 gearbox. Changing to what i planned to be a standard ST150 engine and type 9 gearbox. This (along with some carbon added) was meant to be the only change but as so often happens i got a little carried away with my self which caused a full strip and re build and as such the budget that id set to blown miles out of the water. Brand new Body work painted in kawasaki green. Re bushed all wishbones and a ton more carbon soon followed. The engine i purchased was an ST150 that had the internals re worked and fully re built, and an SPC type 9 box. Which againblew the budget even further. The engine is now running on jenvey throttle bodies and has a custom exhaust from AAS in newcastle. Car was meant to have the MOT 2 weeks ago but and oil leak from the gearbox put an end to that hope. Anyway shes passed today with flying colours. Time to put a few miles on the engine before it goes to JDM dyno on the 12th for a mapping session before i can fully enjoy it again.

Hi All, This is the first event organised by the group Silverstone Cars and Coffee. Sunday 21st May 09:00. this is a free event for any type of car. Just head for Silverstone main entrance and the event will be signed. Check out their Facebook page, looks like a good event. Cheers Gary

Hi Folks, I built a Westie in 1997 with my own concoction of salvaged parts and took it to track days for a few years. Shortly after, wife and kids occurred and Westie was effectively put into retirement.However now the kids are big enough to help, we're going to start making another Westie, this time with the luxury of all new parts from the factory.I'm based in Cheddar - anyone close by?Steve.

Like a number 7 bus, nothing then 3 come along at once, so here's the 3rd set of results in one evening ...... Gezzz, what's going on? Firstly we have Howard all on his own so ......... Just for you Howard, here's your results at Wiscombe (Sat) - R8 Then Sunday, Howard had a friend called Martin (Ex Champ) Harvey join in the fun .... so here's their both results Wiscombe (R9) - Experts Tiggs

I am the only one to think this is a rather unfortunate name for a hand cream..? Mind you it did give me a legitimate opportunity to walk into the beauty counter area and ask the very beautiful young ladies if they could provide me with ahem "..." without getting arrested - again...

Hi, i just thought I should introduce myself as I've finally joined and just started building my car. I'm building an S2000 car for the road and also to do some sprinting and the odd race here and there. I've still got my race licence so it would be rude not to use it. I'm building it as and when I can afford it so it may take a year or so, maybe longer. This is how far I've got so far. A long way to go but I'm enjoying it. I hope to see you all out on some runs/pub meets in the future. Cheers. Tommy

It's got a face only a mother could love

Don't they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Got to agree it's not a vey elegant looking engine. Time will tell how well it performs though!!

Its in safe hands...........Its tucked up nice and warm! I picked up some wheel straps today from Middlesborough, so will have dry run loading tomorrow.

It does, technically

Look after my trailer

These look like the latest factory ones. @a15cro I don't think RD do rear upright kits so their price is for front only. the factory kit is considerably more

I don't know actually how many there are on the road now. Must be a couple at least surely?

There will be 2 on the Westfield stand. The factory demo and the hjd demo nc500. David from HJD is a very nice chap and sure will let you have a prod and poke around.

Ok if he changes his mind I'll let you know. Thanks

Looking forward to the search results on this one...

I thought you weren't getting a V8 @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - WSCC AO Rep you said you were happy with the Vtec

I am 100% impressed with the V8. It really is so easy to use and the suction is amazing. It is way better than I imagined it would be.

Just seen the Dyson v6 animal in sainsburys for £220. Not sure if this is good or not but I guess the v8 would sound better.

Tell the stickers for the steering wheel showing 'go left' and 'go right' are much better value than his 'knob'...............

No worries - they're much more substantial than the bolt on brackets available from the factory!

With one of these per round....

We love work. Said spreadsheet developed and with Terry and Tigger for review. May look something like this.....

To be clear nothing has broken. I just want to change ratios

Yes we are adding his car details to revised list going to Grosvenor (as per pm) tomorrow so he should be OK

Your local garage should heve either a hydraulic press or a tool that can press stuff in and out of fitments. I recently had new front (cortina) bearings pressed into my uprights and he just asked for £10 for 15 or so minutes work.

Sorry, I'm not in cheddar but Stoneleigh kit car show is on this Sunday Monday and the factory may be doing offers. Even if there not it's a perfect opertunity to see a large number of cars and owners all in one place.

Oh you lucky lucky people, " More Work "

Hiya mate, yep just a mix up with the results, new results now posted Tiggs

I will sort this out

Yep we can meet up somewhere, depending on which way you go.

New fuel pump fitted and working so good to go for Stoneleigh. I assume @Sycho @Rhett - Joint Black Country AO we shall meet somewhere and go together?

most people have eaten their spares at easter

I'll meet up with you at Glenshee through to Aboyne if that's ok.

Four days to go. I'm so excited, I nearly forgot to polish the Wessie.

https://www.pro-bolt.com/aluminium-countersunk-6x25mm-bolts-countersunk-washers-set-x-4.html They look like these. Its what I have used on mine.

So the lists are in one place, attached:- 1. The list of campers and non campers (e.g. people arriving in a tintop/volunteering, but are not camping) Campers list (v4 25-4-17).pdf Please look at the list and check it, we do get things wrong occasionally. (email stoneleigh@wscc.co.uk with any corrections... please don't post on here or PM ) 2. The Tintop list: who is arriving in what cars and need free entry (also here) Camping and vehicle details SORTED BY NAME (V16 25-4-17).pdf Thanks to everyone for volunteering, We had so many volunteers I don't think everyone made it onto to volunteer rota this year. Drop into the the marquee for a chat and a drink, if this is your first stoneleigh and/or you're new the club. come and find us and we'll introduce you to everyone.

That's a good idea, if they are travelling down on Sunday they may well be coming in our general direction.

That could be a bit of an understatement.
