Ian Gratton Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Well, another blat out in the XTR2 on sunday just gone. Weather fantastic and well - the car is ok too We set ourselves a time for setting off - 8:30am in the morning as to miss some of the matlock traffic. At 9:15am I was still zonked out in bed (oops!!! On saturday the rear end of the car was getting noisey - a little worried that the chain was getting warn (we've done nearly 1000 miles in the last 3 months - cold, greasy, icey roads). So - at 10:15am we decided it was time to change the chain - what fun. Two hours later everything was done. We did make a bit of a balls up whilst removing links from the chain - it ended up being 1 link to short for the standard size sprocket - and the next size down - and the size after that LOL. The gears are now very very short and I reckon we have a theoretical top speed of about 125mph now (40mph in sixth is 4,000rpm). So off to matlock we go - saw chap in a cateringvan who gave us the nod. Its the bikers that seemed most amazed with the car mind....they just freak when they hear the busa engine in the back. I think another trip could be on the cards for next weekend Be safe out there Quote
