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?

Hi folks, Recently joined the forum after purchasing a 2002 SEiW last weekend from a colleague. Had various cars over the years with high power but nothing has compared to the fun I had driving this home last weekend, pure joy. It currently has a 2ltr Zetec Silvertop with twin carbs. Recent rebuild of engine with Raceline head and cams. Plans are to swap the carbs for ITBs, refresh the suspension and then just enjoy. Took delivery of some Pro Race 1.2s and Rainsport 5's this week so they will be first up. One question I have is today when driving it in to work (after filling up), it cut out a couple of time on when either on a bend/turning/omn a roundabout. It's a very quick blurp and then fine again. Assuming something to do with fuel starvation but cant figure out where its came from. At the same time a slight squeal has started which seems to be coming from manifold side not the front. Anyway, great car and great fun. Hopefully meet some of the local members at some point 😁 Arran

Thanks for the responses folks! Float all good and now confirmed to be that wiring under the dash. All part of the fun isn't it 😅

Hello and welcome to the club. I'm pretty new here to, just about to turn a year since getting my car at the weekend. The club is fantastic, lots of friendly people and a wealth of knowledge too. Just waiting on delivery of Rainsports too, but i don't think that I'll be using Mytyres again in a hurry 😠 Nice car and miby see it in person one day, I'm down in North Lanarkshire. Happy motoring.

Yes - on my iPhone at least!

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.

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

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.

Hello All, June is approaching and the June meeting would normally be scheduled for this Sunday, June 1st. I'm pushing it back a week to Sunday 8th June because it's at the end of a school holiday week and I know some of you will probably have been away and travelling back that day, plus It clashes with the National Kit Car Show at Malvern, I expect some of you not away will be attending. Unfortunately I'm away next week so won't be able to make it, I'm sure that won't stop you though. I'll be attending the show on Saturday so may see some of you there. Thanks Rhett 7pm, 8th June at the Dudley Arms, Himley. DY3 4LB.

I humbly submit this picture for the consideration of the judges. Six WSCC members, six cars from Devon, Cornwall & Somerset Area at Crapstone, Devon today enroute to Land’s End. 13 points please 🙏
