A mate of mine - Bob - will be driving course-car.

Yep just been ~ shame about the demise of Car 33 (Blue Impreza).

Damaged wishbone on SS 2/3. Finally got going again. Completed SS at the Leyland Test Track. Only to break a driveshaft on SS 6.

All post some pictures soon.

Cheers

Hi Blackscooby,
It was good to meet ya mate,as I left Burscough you where just turning in,I give you a wave but you just blanked me;) in that posh motor of yours:D,pity about your mate but remember things happen for reasons:)
It was absolutely awesome seeing all those 6R4's,at one point there was 4 on the circuit together !!!!!WOW :D:D:D:D:D:D

On the first run(SS2&3)the circuit resembled a Scooby graveyard with 3 retiring all within sight of one another..........Doh:(

555

555 Boy,

Sorry mate. Saw you out of the corner of my eye. Trying to keep that dammed car in a straight line on mud :eek:. Whilst trying to find out where Alex had got to as I was meant to meet up with his service crew with some bits.

Had a top day. Flew up to Leyland with some parts, & came back to Burscough. Ended up watching the last few minutes of the SS7&8 whilst I heard about the demise of the AJ Motorsport Car 33.

Not often I get the passes from "indoors" to go and see these events. Love it :D :D

Not long until my Championship starts off again (Mid Cheshire Sprint Champ).

My posh motor ??? Its still not as good as my old motor I sold just before Christmas.

This was a shame :(
Broken wishbone on SS2&3. Repaired to make service, then a broken driveshaft caused retirement.

Apperently up to 6th overall before problems.

blackscooby, nice pics m8!
plus just checked out you old motor, nice one! did you sprint this vehicle as well as used it for road use?
whatr mods if any did you do to it to make it competitive or was it up to the job as standard?
is it expensive sprinting if you dont mind me asking? i was reading a article on it in CCC mag and they were saying anything goes, is this true?

cheers Lee

Blackscooby,
Ah don't worry about it m8,you'll have to get a pass for March 9th and come & do the Malcolm Wilson rally in the lakes:D.

Yeah the 9th should be good,I'll hopefully have some Toyos by then cos it's almost slicks all round at the moment :rolleyes:

Anyway are you practising your German for August ?:)

555

Lee P,

Yeah I sprinted and used the Impreza on the road for a while.

Was it competitive ? Yes sort of !
I never did REALLY well in it as in the Class I was in (Modified Production Cars over 2 litre) you got all sorts of stuff.

Mistu Evo's , Ford Saph. Cosworth running 35PSI boost. Really silly stuff with massive mods.

Mine was running Bilstein Coilover suspension. Around 20PSI boost. TD05H turbo. Cosworth Pistons. Mongoose De-cat SS exhaust.

The problem was that I broke it quite seriously in 2000. Holed a piston running 25PSI boost (my own fault) so had it fitted with Cosworth pistons, Group A gaskets. Dropped the boost, and eventually fitted APEXI Boost and fuel controllers.

It was frightenly expensive to run. Knackered a piston May 2000. Broke the gearbox June 2000 and shattered a turbo July 2000. Until I messed with it I had no problems.

Following the fittment of the APEXI stuff when it ran 19PSI it ran perfectly. My problem was messing with the boost if I found that I wasn't doing to well.

Its favourite was clutches. AP 4 paddle clutches....

The Pug is much better. Cheaper that it is. Its gone for a serious rebuild looking for 180BHP at the wheels :eek:


Cheers

Mark

Did anyone get any pictures or video of the later cars at SS2 / SS3 Burscough?

I am interested in car#78 a yellow/blue mk2 escort, as I was driving it !

Cheers,
