DodgeT Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Open day be a good chance for you to see what martin's capabilities are, he's a smashing chap & did an excellent job of converting my x-flow powered westy to 'blade power could even have a bit of a convoy down there if anyone's interested Quote
catflap Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 take your car down dodge, and get it on the sclaes Quote
peterrosey Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 You may even see a certain yellow and black-striped Busa down there complete with a fresh electric reverse conversion... Quote
cashy Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 It did look like the one on the left on Saturday anyway!!! Quote
Bazzer Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Can we have some pictures of the lecy reverse when you get it back ? How much is martin charging for it, and did you have to move to an electric waterpump ? Bazzer Quote
steve wilson Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Ive managed to bribe the mother in law to have the kids for the day so i can go. Quote

brianm Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Shall try to be there myself , if only to pick up my brakes from Martin Brian. Quote
DodgeT Posted May 17, 2003 Author Posted May 17, 2003 think might have to get the snorkelling gear out if this rain keeps up see you tomorrow Quote
Chris Elworthy Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I thought the Snorkel & Mask suited you, until Ryan told me you weren't actually wearing one and you really did look like that. Hows the balance ? Quote
DodgeT Posted May 18, 2003 Author Posted May 18, 2003 nah me nose has always been that shape considering that at the moment, ive got ryans old shockers/springs on the front & the old rock hard rears what are left over from the x-flow, it was pretty well balanced. got it to within about 2 kg difference at the front which will do for now, certainly better than the original 20 kg difference was well chuffed with the overall weight. t'was good to meet a couple more of you Quote
steve wilson Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I didnt know who was who. I had my hands full with my two kids. They both loved it especially when they got to sit in a car when it was being put on the scales. They fell asleep before i got to the M1. Apart from the odd bit of rain it was a good turnout. Its a good job they fixed the scales after Mac broke them. Richard mile's R1 striker was a very nice car weighing in at 415kg wet. I got myself some nut n bolt covers and some P clips and also asked about the Hi Spec brakes. He said dont deal direct, just with me and you wont get pist about. Top day and a big thanks to all.
