Mark (smokey mow) Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 When ate you next sprinting at Castle Combe? Dom and I were there back in March watching some! What's top speed at CC anyhow? At the Action Day I think fellow club members were topping out at 120 odd. I wont be back there till next year (hopefully) with the Speed Series.For my car which is a 1.6 running a 4.3 diff it's geared for approx 120mph when in was an MX5. Running back through my videos it's showing between 110-115mph on the speedo going through Folly and up to Avon Rise. Quote
Dommo Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 A few photos from a drive me and the boy went on yesterday: On the "my car isn't quick enough front", I'm tempted to fit an aeroscreen this winter on a separate scuttle. Re-routing the wiring loom should mean it's a case of swapping scuttles for track days. That won't make my coolant leak go away though, so I'm still going to have to pull the engine this winter Then make a final decision from there. Quote
Doug Dastardly Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I remenber my first runs back in the early summer- it's so satisfying to get out and about after all that work. You don't get anywhere fast though as you have to keep stopping to take photos of the pride and joy. Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 No front number plate? The DVLA are probably still sorting that out for him Quote
Dommo Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 I think the only people that haven't picked up on my lack of front plate is the police! I'm holding off putting a sticky one on until the registration is sorted, then I'll stick the private plate on it. Quote

Dommo Posted April 6, 2016 Author Posted April 6, 2016 That's alright I'm still squeezing more ponies into my engine whilst it's out... Quote
