Just picked mine up!

Friday's advance party. I'm sure that today will be somewhat busier! Bring ear defenders or plugs - the grids are massive and some of the cars are LOUD. The Lola T70s in the Masters Sports Cars are particularly stunning - just watching the drivers set off down a straight, give the car another gear and leap forward again is properly impressive! Here in Oxford (only thirty miles away) the ground is already dry as it was rather thirsty. Yesterday evening's rain was the first round here since May 30th. Simon

Yep. The plan is to fit ARBs but leave disconnected or very soft initially with Adam showing me how to control on the edge of grip (in theory!). Then later sessions we can use the ARBs and see how they help. So all booked up and looking forward to learning how to drive

I seem to be plagued with rain at the moment first Anglesey and now the day I'm trying to sell my car

Also depends what temp the gauge reading starts at? Most cars as standard now need to see 50degrees before the gauge will start to move

That’s perfectly normal Most senders are after the stat so only show a big rise once the stat opens. (Oops lots of iPhone typos!)

Is the sender engine side of the stat? If not, there won't really be any flow over the sender until the stat opens

from Norfolk. Great looking car!

Ta Simon, would be some cheap power if I was going that route but would mean a fair bit of work as I already have higher compression pistons than standard.

Arrived in Guernsey today on the family hols... bonus... a hill climb.. and a few westfields. and then the double boxed s2000

Not sure what you mean mate - what is this "raining" you speak of?

Thanks. Had a guy come and look at it yesterday but it was raining so hese coming back tomorrow so I can take him out for a spirited drive lol

Hi Steve The next Northants meet is August the 13th, from 19:30 onward at The Horseshoe in Sywell. Hopefully see you there!

Welcome back Ian, sorry to hear of your previous experience. But I’m so glad to see Ian’s car has gone to a good home, and even better, remains in the Club. Get out there and have fun in it I only met Ian, and saw the car once or twice, but it always looked a credit to him; you’ve got a fine looking car to enjoy.

Warm

from Scarborough. As Kevin says, great looking car.

from Essex. Car looks great.

- Yay - already started buying bits that I don't actually NEED Thanks for your time Ash - great to talk to someone that has been around these cars for many years - I have a funny feeling this won't be the last item I buy off you....

I can think of better things to put £15k into! Fish. OMG!

@Blatman Eight spannies would be better (assuming it's paired pistons per head)! Multi-into-one expansion chambers just don't scavenge well enough and confusing back pressures make for a narrow power band - it's better with the drainpipes. I've been there, done that...nice try but a 750rpm power band with a four speed just didn't work! The car is my 1974 Suzuki Fronte GX coupe - 360cc two-stroke, triple carbed, reed valved, needle roller mains. I kept it in NZ for 15 years, after pulling it out of a lean-to barn (amazingly rust-free) and restoring it - only sold it in 2016 to buy the Westfield. Not quite the speed of a Westfield, but the same go-kart handling with your bum scraping the ground!

Splined bosses are standard Landrover parts and not too dear.

The splined top hat fittings the wiper arms fit on are available from most Landrover spares places too.

blade can be found here and arm here somewhat less than Westfield want

Just about to put it back together....took this picture earlier today. New clutch, flywheel skimmed, alternator rectifier and loom connector replaced, all flexible fuel pipes replaced with ethanol friendly (and stupidly expensive) Barricade hose, new cam belt and idlers/tensioner. Should see us out. All back together now bar the rad and a couple of hoses. Should be back on the road again tomorrow.

"Cars" .. flash bar steward.

Last night of my Lake District tour, Waterhead, on Windermere.

We are reporting sick, both humans and car! BTW I have the Peak District flag that you could do with for the show!
