  1. Saw dark metalic blue with full weather gear up, headed north out of Shrewsbury.

     

    But the sun was shining 😬

     

    Well it was for a few minutes anyway. ☹️

  2. Foggy,

     

    I bought one of these from the same seller.

     

    I fitted mine and blanked off the cam case breather as suggested. However, when checking the oil, I noticed air being sucked down the dipstick tube. With the breather blanked off, there's negative air pressure created within the bottom end of the engine. Whether this would do any harm, I couldn't say, but I didn't like the idea of blocking of the breather, so I fitted a small air filter.

     

    It did make only a minor difference in performance, but at least the TB doesn't distort when tightening up the air filter.

     

    If you're thinking about /are doing The Speed Championship, sprinting, then check with Mark Durrant first, that it would be an exceptable mod, for the class you'd be in.

     

    Cheers, Clive

  3. I've just ordered a kit from CC to put on my standard Bilstiens.

    Are these straight forward to fit? Any special tools required?

     

    Has any kind soul done an "idiots guide" for this operation.

     

    This idiot could need one. 😬

     

    Thanks....Clive

  4. I'm still after a set of Brooklands, but there appears to be none about on the secondhand market at present. ☹️

    Does anyone have an unwanted aeroscreen that I can buy as a stopgap?

     

    Please blatmail me if you can help.

  5. Rob,

     

    My inclusion in the wrong class at Mira, has been corrected in the class standings, but not in the Novice Championship. Here I seem to have a different score, from that in Class 3.

    Makes me look better, but still *rolleyes*

     

    Clive.

  7. What a great day!!! Drove down from work on Friday night ( heavy rain around Cardiff ), camped overnight, had some excellent sprints in hot sunshine, packed up tent and exhaust ( thanks Mark ) and drove home through mid Wales on Sat evening.

    Just to add icing to the cake.... the gentleman parked next to me in his 400bhp TVR, who coincidently, also came from Shrewsbury, suggested that since he'd never driven a Caterham, that we could do a drive swap!!!!

     

    Thanks to all organisers, marshalls ect.

     

    Hope you all had a good day today ( Sunday )

     

    Off to polish exhaust 😬 😬

  8. I'm after a favour.....I've bought an exhaust from Mark Durrant, and he's bringing it to Pembrey for me.....Problem is, I've just loaded up the car ( driving there ) with all the camping gear ect, and I'm not sure I'll have room for it on the return journey. Might have......but not sure

     

    Can anyone help get it closer to Shrewsbury for me?? Donation to NTL.

     

    Then I can pick it up in the tintop.

     

    Cheers all...see you Saturday. *smile*

  9. Orange. You were headed in North and I was on opp c/way nr M5 junct on way to work.

     

    Did I see a MTB strapped to the rollbar???

     

    It did make me think of turning around and taking a "sickie". But morgage payments and bills provailed. Hope you were heading somewhere good. Long w/e?? 😬

  10. Gaz,

    You might be interested in seeing how my boot cover has been fitted ( not by me ). The builder used an ali channel section, that lifts the cover above the seat belt mountings. It's very neat and keep the cover tight.

    I'm only in Shrewsbury, so give me a call 07855 837335.
