Burpspeed - From The beginning

[Jamesstone]

Wow! One of the first track projects threads i followed has come to an end

Can completely understand though, they can become an expensive hobby, endless funds needed on this scale, thats why my old PH1 172 went and i kept the PH2 as friendly as possible but still a go-kart to drive car

R.I.P Burp rocket

 

[Jay Payne]

Loton just passed the MOT. This thing continues to amaze

 

[Budgie]

<3 the Loton.

 

[Jay Payne]

I might even have to consider inspecting/changing the camblet so it doesnt die an early death

 

[Yosemite Sam]

I got your text jay, I can't believe you questioned the Loton!

 

[Jay Payne]

I did change a steering rack gaiter before taking it down but other than that it just needed a slight adjustment to the N/S headlamp aim. (That will be running into the weelie bin the other day)

Might need some work for next year tho

 

[Jay Payne]

So its time to come clean.

Loads of roumors and guesses have been banded around over the last 3 months on what our plans are.

We have been busy behind the scenes since mid August and altho we are a long way off fnished the time is right to reveal............

[Jay Payne]

What shall i do with this thread?


I could keep it for Loton updates

 

[Gray]

Loton updates, defiantly!!

 

[Jay Payne]

Well the Loton continues to serve me well. It stood for over a week in these freezing temperatures and started first time. The only problem its suffereing from is the handbrake light stays on for a few minutes after its been stood in the cold. The switch is sticking.

Other than that I had a new tyre fitted to the front the other day at a cost of £20!

Its made by a company called 'HERO' and you really need to be to keep the thing on the road. Michielin it aint

So far ive spent £6 on new key, £6 on a steering rack gaiter, £7 on a mirror and £20 on a tyre. What a great car!

 

[Jay Payne]

Thread from the dead and drawing it to a close. The shell has finaly been binned.

Just got a SORN reminder through so will have to find the V5 and scrap it now

 

[chrispy.clio]

Awwww bless it!

THE END

 

[alistairolsen]

I've just been working my way through this thread for the first time. Whats this thing?

Looks like a great build!

 

[Tony Hunter]

A Palmer Sport rollcage base. they use them a lot so they don't damage the internals on the car.

 

[alistairolsen]

Ahh, so you can truly 'bolt in' a bolt in cage, as opposed to having to weld in bases? What do they do for the other feet? Clever idea really, never seen it before!
