Just need to spent the next 3 days fettling the correct angles on the dog teeth - was twice the price to have them ground 'cause they didn't have a tool to fit, so I just got them to put a rough angle on and I can tweak it from there.

Well, the site was better suited to swimming today - pressing the throttle pedal down in any gear at all just meant the mud flew higher - the car didn't go any faster :(

 

Unfortunately, we had trouble with the alternator on the second run, which lost us 10 minutes whilst we bodged it back together with side cutters and tie-wraps. :D

 

However, the next few laps we barely made it around - literally creeping along sideways on full lock at 1mph through a few sections they were so slippery, and then just to top it off, on the very last lap, either the gearbox or the clutch plate let go with a bang whilst launching off the start line :(

 

Bah!

Aye, it's either snapped the input shaft, or ripped the centre out of the clutch plate I think, will know soon enough!

Just a photo so I can remember what the car looked like when it was clean :D

That's the lightest bit of rain we got!

 

Well, up until the racing finished, when in the usual UK-weather trick, the rain stopped and the sun came out.

 

Extra points if you can spot the vital performance upgrade it's had!

Odd wing mirrors and a bloke standing in the door and pushing it?

Nah, he was bolting the floor on, hence it being on the ramps.

 

Wing mirrors is a good spot but there's another one, was vital this weekend!

Congratulations!

 

You win one M10 nylock nut.

 

They were a godsend Sunday!

 

 

That aluminium pipe up the side is the washer system - it bends and goes over the top of the screen too, drilled full of tiny little holes so we can flood the window with water.

Here is the slowest bit of 'racing' you're ever likely to see this side of a snail betting ring.....

 

 

Didn't wanna go forwards anyway....

Yep, no trouble at all, thanks Tom, saved me laying in the s*it swearing at them!

 

However, think we've f***ed the engine again!

Good stuff, see, they really are as good as I keep preaching!

 

As for the engine, there is your new item to lay in the s*it and swear at.

Yeah, if it's fooked we're considered sticking a 2.2 Honda motor with a blower in the back, they're not too much heavier and we'll sort out the extra length somehow.
