How di you get confirmation? Still waiting here mind you, I have have lots of engine bits all over the garage floor.

It was just a confirmation post card about A6 in size confirming payment and entry.

Maybe you should phone him to double check.

Cedric, you will be leading us off at the start of batch 2.
If my GTA is not back together, I'll just have to run in class A instead

This is a 1st class venue, for spectating too.

looking forward to it...

might be a silly question but why are there so many 1998cc evos and scoobys in the over 2000cc group?

Because they are turbo which is a plus forty per cent adder.
We will beat some of them.

thanks for clarification...

will definitely do my best

Me too not expecting to beat the 4wd tubo cars in my GTA asmatical but lets see how close we can get eh

It all depends on their level of modification. Standard EVO and Scubby is not too hard to keep up with

For you in your tweeked turbo maybe we will see?
Will give my all as usual and blame it on second

Thanks for the luck Simon but that wasnt enough...

MOT failed....

- 1 tyre illegal
- hand brake not strong enough + not enough travel?
- rear suspension mount rusty - needs welding

guess i'm going to be a busy for the next 2 weeks

Have you repleced the rear calipers.
I ask because when I put recon items on the car, the handbrake lever on the caliper was about 1cm longer, now the handbrake does not have enough travel and is not very strong. But on the day of the MOT it was working enough for the tester to let it pass.
Welding, thats a bummer, any pics?
Type, you must have been having fun driving the car

will post pics this eve...

i think Andrew Turbodog changed the rear calipers shortly before i bought the car so i will ask him...

On an original calliper it is about 26mm from the center line of the turning bit to the centreline of the handbrake cable. I'd guess that the extended arms from the exchange caliper are at least 8mm longer. Percantage wish, quite a bit increase and travel too.
