POC Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Anyone fancy coming for a few runs? Had mixed reports on the weather for the day, will obviously decide in the morning if its worth going or not. Should be a laugh, I've not run 1/4 miles before, and I just got some sticky ABC10s Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Gratton Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Umm... may have been up for that but the XTR2 is going to be in bits this weekend...we have a lot of 'little jobs' to do before donington in march. It being it bits means we'll probably be working on it too. Paul, you going to take you toy up to donington - it would do it the world of good to get it out on track Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Gratton Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Can't m8 - the list of jobs is vast 1. Rip out all front brake lines 2. Replace with full braided lines (right from the master cylinder) 3. install residual pressure valve on front cylinder 4. Take off the body (oh no !!! not again) in order to sort out yet another leaky dry sump pump - it sucks 5. Measure up and (Hopefully) Install nice new F3 pedal box to get round the standard nasty pedals and position 6. Figure out if a bell crank can be used on the throttle to make it a little more progressive 7. Cut and install another new Carbon Fibre dashboard with the STACK located in the centre - warning lights behind the wheel 8. Install CD player speakers and sub 9. Weld in seat frame support struts to stop me thinking I'm going to crash the car (every time I go round a corner the seat moves and flexes like #### - it feels like the back is stepping out on corners - even though its not) So - just a few jobs Have you got a better picture of the car with its new black wheels Ian.
