we were not practising - we were testing the new engine and suspension combo. Not sure when we'll test the new engine, suspension and tyres combo - hopefully before the first practise run at Epynt

Lynn - thanks for letting that Cat out of the bag 😬 Edited by - Gill E on 8 Jun 2011 11:42:38

Ray - I'll leave you to answer your own question. All I'll say is Blue belt syllabus - Indian death lock ❗
-
Shaun - please will you use yor own sign-on to post here - you're destroying my finely honed reputation as a air-head.
-
189.9bhp and lots of lovely torque. Do you think a 1900 bottom end works well with a VHPD head? 😬 I'm sure it would but luckily for the rest of you we haven't tried it .
-
Based on limited evidence I think they might work - Shaun had the only decent drive in our car before the engine came to a grinding halt at Llandow -at Goodwood he beat his PB and got 2nd in Class. I think we may have to wait until the end of the season to see if they really work as apparently we bought the Class 5 version and we are now in Class 4! (something to do with aerodynamics and bhp ) 😬

JEM - did he tell you that the carbon fibre indicator pods "will make you go faster" too? Or is Shaun spinning me a line? 😬

3 billies now fitted. Just waiting for the parts to arrive from Caterham to do no. 4 then we just need to deal with the tyres. Rolling road on Friday so fingers crossed! Edited by - Gill E on 30 May 2011 19:59:59

Another step closer - rolling road session booked And tonight I am to learn a new skill to go alongside 'how to take an engine out of a Caterham' - 'how to make something look like something it isn't', oopps sorry 'how to remove adjustable dampers and fit non-adjustable dampers'
-
OK Lynn - the C4 boys can adjust them for Shaun and you can adjust them for me
-
14th is OK for me too.
-
I'm interested too - obviously subject to date and car Gill

Hi Ian, Thanks for the offer but we are sorted now thank you. Shaun
-
For those of you who hadn't guessed, Shaun and I won't be competing - we may well come down to spectate - so if there are a couple of spare tickets floating around, we'd be happy to put them to good use. Gill

Mark - I have to apologise for my husband being such a cheeky git
-
Chris - might be! Lynn -

.... a girl-free zone ☹️

All sorted - 2 more for Class 5.
-
On second thoughts, I've just seen the Class 5 entry list .......
-
don't rub it in. A working car is but a distant memory - currently we have: - no engine - no exhaust - no method of steering the car. But apart from that, everything is going splendidly - we have a brand new, freshly painted bonnet and scuttle, and some other shiny new 'things'! And I am VERY familiar with the route around the M25 to Kent!

Well, I've completed the Fun Run and beaten my expectations in 3 ways: - I ran 3.5 of the 4 km course (way more than I'd managed in training and more than I've ever run in my life) - I did it in a time of between 18 and 19 mminutes (I was hoping I could do it in 30mins) - I raised £400 (with Gift Aid, that over £500). A million thank yous to everyone who sponsored me. Shaun will be posting some pictures and a video as proof Happy Christmas all. Gill The little running Santa.

I wondered why Shaun has started talking about video-ing my efforts - thanks for that Mark My training was progressing slowly but surely until today - running in the snow is NOT fun and is hard work. Even though i did not go as far as I'd hoped, I did atleast go out. I now have an idea of what it will probably be like on Sunday. A very big THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored me - you have all been so generous and I am truly overwhelmed by your support. Gill The little running Santa
