Glad you're having fun in it after your dilemmas, she's looking tidy

Weather looking cold and mainly dry on Saturday. Maximum temperature of 6. Blyton will feel like -6!

I'm hoping to pop up to Blyton at some point on Saturday, having followed your build I want to see you enjoying it.

 

Cheers mate see you there

 

Ill see you there Lee
Cheers
Chris

 

Did you get my text Chris ?

 

Yes mate I thought I replied
Will speak to you today mate

 

Well after a good couple of sessions in the wet, 3rd session couple of warm up laps went through the wiggle down into second and bang ... Gearbox gone 2nd gear actually so on the look out for a full 6 speed setup now, oh well it had to happen sooner or later

 

Doh!

Is that going to be instead of the engine rebuild?

I arrived just after midday, you had already left.

The clouds darkened and the rain came, the organisers extended lunch until !4:00

Once the sprint actually started, the two wheel drive cars really struggled to get off the line.

Blyton was incredibly cold, thermometer said 4C with wind chill it felt much colder.

Nice MkI Escort Twin Cam out, although it looked like it was on forest suspension.

Hopefully catch up with you next year.

 

I get the 2 videos I took 1 you can clearly hear the box failing the other hit some black ice At bishops and did a 360... The box failed going through the wiggle couldn't handle the 430lb/ft ..!

 

Must have just missed you mate, I trailered the car and went to drown my sorrows .
Shame really as I was looking forward to the sprint ,oh well get the new 6 speed in for next years events.

The mk1 was nice and yes looked like it was preped for a stage in keilder !!
Hope to catch up next year get the transmission sorted for piece of mind

 

That's a shame mate, but as they say 'out of the ashes we will rise, stronger and better than before'

 

Oh dear your def in the 6 speed territory at 430 ftlb. You got any more interior pics and of seats ?

 

Its better to go on the last event of the year and have the winter to sort the right box than to go on the first and have to rush into finding the right box

 

That's right Jon bigger and better faster and stronger :-)

 

Il dig some out what you after mate ?
