Ok... so got it running on friday night


Recommended Posts

Posted

finally finished all the bits that make the car legal to drive on friday night (about 6pm) then proceeded to take the risk and trust our work and drive up to Mallory park.

Left at 10pm (cause we were doing last min fixes on the G40) and arrived at 1:30 at the camp site. Tent up and yelled at by 3am to go to sleep!!

On track for a few sessions.

summary: It needs tuning. Top speed was 110. not fast enough and the g40 can beat me.

however.. i giggled all the time at the popping, banging, flames and general sideways ness of it all!

Once the track day side of it was over there was some severe dicking about on the grass camp site...

Although.. he was driving barefoot and all the water p****d over him! HA!

Haha

You see I am not a big person, I need a booster seat on the regular westie seats to reach the pedals and avoid severe clutch  destruction!

The ones I am due to get are on runners so I can move it about!

Drove it to work this morning, miscalculated the rain so it's parked outside covered in bin bags! Soft bits forsevens will be getting a call this week I think!

Bonnet Latches

Catch Plates

Sealing Pins

The Rolling Road I used, Mike Jennings in Sible Hedingham 01787 460965 - It's a fair way from Cracknell but he knows his stuff, doubt you'll get higher top speed from a tune though. Need to dump that windscreen ;)

The seats are on fixed frames, not runners so Alex won't fit if you bolt them down adjusted for your midget proportions. My clutch is fine, I think thanks :oops:

Anything else Madam?
