The event is a round of the National Championship, practice on Saturday for all, and a further run on Sunday morning.

The timed runs for all classes will commence as soon as the practice runs on Sunday morning have been completed.

Usually every one will get two runs (timed) for results.

The Top Twelve run offs are for the fastest 12 cars in the National championship who in effect have two rounds at this event, thus the two run offs.

All quite confusing!

The two day events are always rather leisurely with lots of time in between runs.....

Andrew

Yes please, piccies and price please to amrussell@lineone.net

Thanks

Andrew

Mike

Had a look in garage last night and guage is in a poly bag,in cupboard, as I recalled.

As soon as I hear from you, I'll pop it in the post.....

Andrew

Mike,

I think I might still have one in the garage.....not 100% certain as to its capabilities.

I replaced it when I had a problem with my guage, and I subsequently believe that it was a wiring problem rather than the guage itself!

Sorry, I can't help with the sender........

If I still have it, you can gladly have it. FOC of course, just in case it is faulty!

Let me know your address.

Belgom 'ALU' Accept no substitutes!!

Andrew

Tony

If you lower it, just watch that sump!!!!!

Sorry to hear of the problems at Croft. Catch up with you soon, I hope.

Regards.

Andrew

Especially given all the non standard parts that would require a specialist engineer to service.

As it is a non standard car it probable has a lower value..........

Andrew

But is it really an HPC??????

Andrew

Checked. I've got two, although one gasket is a little shot, the other is fine. You are welcome to them both as surplus to my requirements,

Give me a call on 01423.331104 this evening or tomorrow morning and I'll get them in the post to you asap.

Regards.

Andrew

I may have a couple of old ones at home.... I'll check this evening and let you know.

Andrew

Tony,

That should provide some interesting performance for you! Glad to hear that your up grades are all going well.

Best wishes

Andrew

Yes I know you can get the coloured 'condoms' but they only fit the smaller bulbs fitted to the earlier guages, as far as I know. That is why I tried the glass paint method as I had to replace a guage with a new style one and couldn't locate a big enough condom!!!! Ooh 'er, missus!!

Andrew

I seem to recall that the green tint on the standard bulbs was achieved by a plastic, coloured sleeve......perhaps you might be able to use a red sleeve? Or obtain some glass paint from a craft/art shop and colour the bulb.....will need to be a very dark red to have any effect.

Andrew

Before you invest in the new tyres, I presume that you have checked that ACB10s will be allowed in your intended Class? Many sprints/hillclimb classes insist upon road tyres only. With ACB10, altho' road legal, you might find yourself in a class for 'racing tyred cars'.

Hope that I'm not seeming to teach you to suck eggs??

Andrew

Ben

You've got too many toys! The playstation is still going strong and my son now wants to be a professional rally driver.........

Could be worse!

Best wishes.

Andrew

Try it on FindIt. I got an excellent response from an ad placed there.

Andrew

Alex,

Won't these be on the hard side for Class 6???? confused.gif

Andrew

....and findit.co.uk!

Andrew

Yes.

Andrew

Try Autoglym 'leather feed' cream which is also recommended for vinyl materials as well. Should do the trick! Once you've re-jouvenated it, a regular application of 'Back to Black' silicone spray keeps the elements at bay.

If your exhaust cover is black, try ordinary car polish, if bare metal, any good quality metal polish will work. Yes it is Aluminium.

Andrew

Mel,

Hopefully if Arnie puts on a good show tomorrow, punters will realise just what good cars the Vx's are and we might get some more interest in our cars for sale!

Good luck.

Andrew

I use the same wheel and tyre sizes/type on my Vx which has about 210bhp. In 7 years of use on the road and occasional speed events, I have never felt that the car was under-tyred.

Have to say that I have never tried larger rears and I am sure that others who have may express a different opinion.

Even the Vx race cars used to use relatively small tyres as I recall and so I presume larger profiles may upset the balance.

If you are happy with the current set up, why change....

Still available......still an incredible bargain, but prepared to haggle!! It's only done 5000 miles ( mostly on the road ) for heaven's sake!

You are missing the good weather.........
