How do you intend to put oil in out of interest? Through the breather ports instead?

 

John

I'd be interested in your review of the weekend when you get a chance. I looked at the times and thought they weren't to bad considering the late development of the car and driver

Mark

 

LOL, driver is certainly a Late Developer.

.... Times don't really reflect what went on, not sure I have the energy to type it yet

 

I've sent you a bottle of Lucozade in the hope you might be able to type something this weekend

Is there a Doctor in the house?

If so please could you call round John Steveson's house immediately because I fear he may have lapsed into a coma following exhaustion from last weekend

 

He's still alive, just busy getting ready for Knockhill

 

Good luck for Knockhill John, may be this time you'll get to write a match report

 

John how did you get on at Silverstone?

Banny

 

Bump for an update - something must have happened since April.

 

Four time attack rounds have happened!

Car will be at TOTB a week on Sunday!

 

And this weekend John has been mostly .........

 

mincing around in B3 at Kames

 

Hi, what offset?.

 

ET48

 

Finally started work on the car for this year. Bit late as usual, but we'll get there

Spent a night, removing most of the Time Attack related Stickers, what a 'mare of a job ! (Note to self, don't let Craig withing 12feet of a car when he has a box full of Stickers)



Also removed the old rotated Garrett setup, originally built by Andy.F 8 years ago it has seen service on Andy's original white RA, then John Banks car, then my red car and finally this one. I originally slagged Andy about the welding, but in fairness, 8 years is a fair innings
However, it's really tired and brittle now. So have some nice new Lateral Performance Headers and 3 bolt up pipe to build a replacement from.

The old and the new

 

John,

Bit of a dig up of old pics... BUT



Did you just bond the grp arches over the steel originals? No cutting back for extra space?

Also, where did you get the kit from?

cheers

 

found the answers

Imortal, cut arches .

 

Great to see this thread back up and running.

What are your plans for this year John?

 

Blimey John - you feeling alright mate ?

 

Remembering to update his thread

 

Nicely, did you use ali for this? how did you secure it?

 

looks like pop rivets

 

Falls off chair. Looking forward to mid April

 

He's been distracted by a sink already

 

Mark, technically it's a Basin

Another wee development with the car that should (hopefully) be on and fettled in the next couple of weeks. Rare find on a certain well known Auction site recently.

 

is that a sequential shifter....looks pretty neat!

 

Yip, Ikeya 5sp, engineering looks tiptop. Hopefully will mean proper clutchless Flatshift.

Nice find John
