The L terminal is for the warning light. The IG terminal requires a switched live feed from your ignition switch.

I built a garage and put a two post lift in. the lift is from liftech near Preston, cost £1240 fitted in 2016. Very good quality. The garage floor is fibre re-enforced concrete 6 inches or more thick in the area of the posts. From memory the posts are 2.7 metre high so you need plenty of roof height, mine is flat roofed, 3.5 metre outside height.

Thanks Chris

Hi Andy, I’ll have a space if you still have room.

Plumbers merchant, compressed air or hydraulic equipment supplier. Googled compressed air slough and there are loads of potential suppliers. See you on Sunday.

Raceline silver top Zetec, RL20 cams, Raceline modified head, ARP rod bolts, Raceline sump, water rail, inlet manifold (for 45mm carbs or throttle bodies), alternator mount. Twin Dellorto 45mm carbs, little use. Almost new K & N filters. Facet fuel pump and Filter King regulator Raceline stainless exhaust manifold, some cracks welded up at flange. Techcraft repackable silencer, some repairs and re-enforcing, some minor cracks may require further repair. Webcon alpha ECU, quite old but worked when removed, complete with loom and instructions. No guarantees. Alternator. Engine produced over 170bhp with this set up and is capable of over 200bhp on injection. The engine has had little road use and been used for sprints and hillclimbs. It was removed from the car in mid 2016, the day after setting a class record at Scammonden hill climb (running injection). The head was removed the Winter 2015/16 at RSM in Morecambe, the valves were lapped, there was no discernible bore wear. You would need a bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, starter and engine mounts to fit into a Caterham in place of a cross flow. £2500

Nothing extra required with Jenvey throttle bodies.

Are you thinking of starting and stopping the water pump? If so, how would you be able to get a representative water temperature measurement with no water flow?

The requirement for additional springs often arises when the spring has been hidden inside the component by the manufacturer, for example some sidedraught Webers. A scrutineer can’t check whether the spring is intact or missing and will require an additional, visible spring.

I have a two post lift, in my view better as it lifts the car by the chassis rails and takes the weight off the suspension. Mines a generic Chinese one from a local supplier found on eBay, cost around £1200 new. BMTR for Avon tyres.

Shenstone and district car club are running this on April 15th 2018 at Curborough. Would be useful to anyone joining the speed championship who missed our own intro day.

Yes please

Fairly easy through the top of the tunnel.

I had similar problems on a super sprint. The problem was a corroded loom plug/socket inside the tunnel next to the gearbox. I chopped it out and replaced it with soldered and heat shrunk joints.

Hi Mark, Nothing received, have you got the gmail address?

Yes, will be at Anglesey.

Hi mark, I'll have them.

I've just had an email from a Westfield driver saying he (and others) are going to withdraw their entries.

I'll have a space Chris if there's still room.

I'm not keen. It's a very late change to arrangements. My car is set up for sprints, limited fuel capacity, no oil cooler, soft tyres. Also the risk of contact with other cars.

The calorific value of propane and butane are almost the same, as you would expect from carbon hydrogen atoms just of different sizes. As you use gas, the liquid boils and provides it. This requires heat from the atmosphere. Propane has a much lower boiling point, something like minus 40c instead of minus 2 for butane, So for a plentiful gas supply choose propane.

Have a look on eBay. propane torch 15-£20, regulator £10, propane bottle from your local supplier. You'll wonder how you managed without it!

Thin wheel spacer?

Another solution which I once used on a Landrover is to use the brake light switch operate a relay which switches the brake lights. The current that the brake light switch deals with will be reduced from around 4 Amps to 200 milliAmps.
