Look good James, glad to see its still progressing :)

Update: Spax suspension. So, I received the rear replacement suspension from Spax this week, unfortunately, according to Spax, the unit I had sent off to be replaced was "damaged" due to my action and not theirs, so this meant that my warranty was voided. The "engineer" who I spoke to who...

That's a snazzy go racing pack

Looking good. Who did the cage? Any reason why you chose the Spax in board rear as opposed to the outboard coilovers?

My race car is still legal and will be fine, thy got funny with the steering lock, however as the car still had a tax disc They waved it through (lock had been removed now as its not an MOT requirement). Its better to buy the GoRacing pack sooner than later as it tends to go up in price yearly.

Great pics cars looking good

Very nice, agree hope to see you on the Tricolore Trophy grid soon :) Good luck tomorrow mate

Great report Tony, didnt realise you had Gopro probs, was it a flat battery? If it happens again in the future i have the hardwire power supply that i can lend, i bring it as a back up incase the vbox goes tits up

Nice to see our last race isn't the last one of the day again :)

That sucks Pete, I know how you feel, I still owe 4 shifts to a work college, and they will pile up by the end of the season. Hope to meet you on the grid soon Pete :)

It connects to one of the three pins on the ignition coil plug. Think it was the outer pin of the three. If it don't work just try the pin next to it. (Im away from car so cant check it).

Nice one, so will you be at Castle Combe Pete?

Such is life, when it chucks you lemons, make lemonade

Bit of an update: Checked over the rear suspension yesterday due to the car being unstable at the last race meeting and my suspicions was confirmed. Shock horror my Spax RSX rear strut had decided to dump its oil, on moving the arm up and down, air can be heard hissing from the strut. So...

Great racing Tony, nice one handed action at 10:10 ;)

So the flywheel housing bolt has came lose causing it too pull on the thread, causing the tooth to break off?

This is such a nice build, any vids of it on track?

Including the MR2s?

Good I like a challenge its what keep me going lol

Cant seem to find it, but they do two types, one with a built in spark igniter. Prob get one from a plumbers shop or something. Try heating up the bolt then squirting wd40 on it then reheating, try this a few times, normally works a treat if its mega seized

Halfords sell a blow torch for around £12, a worth while investment.

That's one fast Saxo

What about some 197 cams, they seem to produce good results and cheaper?

Iv had the Ktec ones now for 18 months, no problems, since Ktec have released a strut brace that bolts into the top mounts (Like Pure's) however this brace can still be tensioned up where as pures cannot. Not that it makes a huge difference. It also sits higher.

This has Tricolore Trophy written all over it ;)

Race summary Round 1, Rockingham Qualified 10th (1.41 lap). Race 1 finished 6th Race 2 finished 7th Overall very good weekend, good to meet up with old and new faces, you know who you are. Being a small grid of 15 cars (dropping down to 10 in the final race) and Rockingham being a large...

Exactly, I was always taught the "claw grip" (palm on top of gear knob) and the thumb grip (palm side of gear knob). Found that the thumb grip is more precise but seems to use more elbow movement, claw grip uses wrist movement. This was more Advance/evasive driving techniques than racing, but...

Lapping it up at Spa, good speed through Eau Rouge, you 4th gear flat out? (not got sound on work pc ha)

Splendid stuff Gaz, great lap, looks like you had amazing weather. Think you was putting the pressure on that white porker at the start lol
