Been a while since I’ve updated this, largely because flameshed hasn’t been upto much, sadly. Since passing its MoT and then me having to miss CSF (gutted) I sorned it for the winter. I had noticed the negative battery clamp on the terminal had become too loose and had reached the end of its...

Ha ha! Nah, flamer is all good old fruit. Be good to catch up you furry pygmy. I’ll ping you a text.

We need to catch up ASAP ginger smurf. I shall text Holmes. In the meantime, good work on the touring.

Good old grey. From 10ft, the cubwagon (in maximum load carrying spec) looks respectable. Up close though...

Correct. I don’t have time. Mods also don’t have name changing rights. Trust me if I did, you’d be called much worse x

Trying?

Ah. Didn’t realise it was already running what i’d call “big power”. Sorry! I agree. If it is running 285, little point chasing more.

It’s called being helpful. That tends to be what clubs and forums are about....

Whilst I agree that fitting a diff, ASTs and stripping it should be the way forward first. It’s utter b****cks to say you can’t use any more power than they have already. Mine puts its 250bhp down whenever I want, no dramas or problems whatsoever. Probably helped by the diff, ASTs, handling...

If there is a conspiracy, you’re now screwed because you’ve outed them on here. Run. Hide. The giant lizards will be along shortly to kidnap you, and there is nothing your tin foil hat can do to stop that. Nice knowing you.

Great project this. I also went down the “clubsport” route with mine. Power wise, tbh those are good results. I wouldn’t mess about too much as I’m not sure the benefit is worth the cost unless you go into the charging route.

Trophy racists!!! Mine has a trophy engine and trophy spoiler. And it's red.....not pink. Does that qualify :tongueout: Joking aside, good work @Tim. and great photos @SharkyUK

Good work! Looks great. Enjoy it!

I'm sorry to see the up and downs continuing here, but hopefully this is the final leg of the journey Andy. I look forward to seeing it complete, with a tour of the Welsh roads and some like minded souls to celebrate!

As others have said, run it on track a few times first and see what you want to change. If you head down the modifying route, I'd sort the car out in the following order; - brakes - tyres - handling (including refresh of most parts and stiffening up - engine mounts etc) - weight loss - limited...

They may be 5100s then, as I don't think they have external reservoirs. I got the spring rates from @NorthloopCup so he may remember...

I've had the ASTs since 2015 bud, just haven't played much with settings. 5200's with custom spring rates.

@JP83 - I'm coming up the Saturday early, so sadly no more unplanned Petrol Station rendezvous...

Yarp - ASTs. Quite keen to see just how much difference playing with them makes. So may need to go steady until I've found the best setting for my old man driving style....

Good news. Flameshed passed its MOT and is getting taxed. Only done 400 miles this year, so taking it up to Blyton for CSF will give it a good run out. I gave it an oil change and filter change, and checked the pads etc. Looking forward to CSF. Much excite. I'm on track in the afternoon, and...

No worries guvnor. Only thing is, I can't remember if I booked afternoon or morning 😂

Flamemobile will be trundling about:smile: :car:

I have had first hand experience of the bad side of k-tec. They have a branding / image / size element to them that protects them more when things go bad.

Yep. I for one am happy to come and help. In fact, you can even use my garage.

I am in no way recommending it, however.... http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=5316

Can't you fit a bucket for you, and keep the passenger seat as standard?

Not many people take a Baby racing, rallying or on a track day to be honest.

That's ok. I know where you live.

Ideally dude, aiming for winter. So if I buy the synchros I'll keep them until i do the diff.

Ooh! Yes please. 3rd is going on mine. Again.
