Well its a bit been a little slow on the update's front, this is mainly due to the cancellation of Car Trails in the last few weeks, which has meant it has been a few weeks since the last event.
However this weekend we are off to do some testing at Bradwell-on-Sea, using the old airfield, to try different suspension and tyre pressure settings. Also since the Turner brothers will be there it will be a good chance to get some tuition on how to get that little bit more out of the Rover. I'm looking forward to sitting alongside Jamie and/or Owen to see just how they get the speed out of the cars. Plus it will be a good chance to compare cars and work out any more tweeks.... speaking of which plans are now in place for a few 'off-season' repairs and developments. These will include :-
- Change gearbox; the current one has a worn 1st gear Syncro and worn reverse gear, the new one is fully re-built and is one of the later Gartac casings
- Up rate the wiring and bulbs for the headlights to improve vision at night
- Remove excess weight, sound-proofing and weight behind the dash
- Window Film - to make the car 2011 MSA Stage Specification Spec.
Hopefully there will be some pictures, video and data-logging data from the test day, which should be online next week
