My Mk2 sprint & Hill climb car resto, Vids & pics now up

Thanks Chris a great answer, I thought thats how it would be done with the bench, are roll cages compulsory for the road going production class?

Engine wise I know the ABF is no good but I have my old KR waiting in the wings, thats why I run the trigger wheel setup so I can easily change back to it when needed.

 

Pictures of that would be great if you do not mind

 

Nope

 

But it makes you feel a little safer when you are hitting 70 + throught the trees...

 

Dave ...

Looks like sabotage is required for the Rover

 

Sabotage!!

Funnily enough I found the 2004 MG / Sport parts catalogue I knew I had recently. 250 brake Judd bored/stroked K-Series. The 210bhp & 170bhp/ft version was 9k, and no price on what the 250 cost!

 

Photos from my second event of the year at the Ingliston sprint.

The 185's were working hard!!

 

2012 season updates, moved up to 15" and some R888, new inner long shaft CV, new catch tank bracket and a new set of HT leads. Was all set for the first event last saturday and it got cancelled due to water logged carpark [:^(]

 

Aye, was looking forward to `catching up` ... was down to marshal again but have been working on the Mk1 honest

What difference in the handling now ?

 

side exit <3

 

Yes not sure what is going to happen to the event now, i would assume it shall be re scheduled?

Well i had a dig about in the garage and found a set of MK2 Spax coilovers the came off the Rallye in the early days of it being VR'ed. It turns out the spring are a thicker coils so i put them on and it has helped with the extra mechanical grip i now get with the 195's
Was hoping to get a good test at Fintray but i had to settle for some fast rad setup instead.

It definitely sits quite flat when cornering hard, it feels quite neutral now and precise from where it used to flop about on the 60 profiles while under steering.

So it should be interesting to see how it goes at the Alford sprint.

 

Yes you can see when its spitting flames

 

Needs some 17in splitties man..... Rain, never noticed it .
