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.

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

Entries closey 30th june and you get free entry to the circuit racing in the afternoon which was fantastic last time I went to see mark compete.

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 :D :D

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.
