Bet that was a fun moment..

Was fine, new front end soaked it up perfectly, could have hit it a bit harder really.

A tiny little <1300cc one.

Tell you what, I'll hit it harder so long as you go over it the same speed as me in yer track build.

[Cameron 16]

No problem, I'll just design it with 24" of suspension.

[Rippthrough 98]

Go for it. Don't forget the 32" tyres.

You know what, you fetch that and I'll hit that bump flat out just to destroy the fecking thing.

[Cameron 16]

Done deal.

Phonecall to say some shiny new go faster parts are finished, well, they need some grinding once I take some bits up to match 'em, but 99% there...

 

Also finished some new bearings/supports to reduce friction in the suspension systems, should help small bump performance, so they're going on shortly.

^^Took synchro cones up today, had a look at our shiny new straight-cut gearset. Got as excited as a 6 year old in an ice-cream factory.

[shalmaneser 26]

Hang on, have you gone 700 bhp all of a sudden?!?!?!

[Rippthrough 98]

[Rippthrough 98]

Gears on the grinder for finishing today, should have them shortly

[Rippthrough 98]

Got some pictures from the end of last year from Minehead and Kirton too

[Rippthrough 98]

I have shiny gears

[welshpug 1,621]

not much good if they're borked and not inside the casing

[Rippthrough 98]

Well, no, but they're fantastic paperweights.

[base-1 17]

Still love this thing. Shiny gears because they're new or treated, or both?

[Rippthrough 98]

New, heat treated, and straight cut.

 

Oh, and lots shorter

Hey, the old shock oil doesn't look too bad for 2 years of abuse, sure, it's a little dark, but it's clear, not cloudy and no real debris in there either, gotta be good, right?

 

 

I mean, even the seals and shims look spotless, next to no wear on them at all

 

 

And the new oil is just the same colo.....oh, wait, maybe the old oil was a little tired then....
