Considering a proban suit for my first foray into sprinting. AWS racewear have some, but website says

IDEAL FOR HILL CLIMBS, SPRINTS OR NATIONAL RALLY (END DEC 08)

Does this imply that they will be no longer valid after this year?

Thanks

Anyone recommend a supplier of competition decals eg, ignition off, tow etc, numbers and backgrounds.

Thanks

Are you local? - I am just down the road! (same coloured 7 with flares )

PaulB

As the title suggests! Prefer tonneau for standard seats.

Anything considered!

Thanks

6 x 13 Ital fixing

Have 2 , now need two more!

Any offers?

Thanks

PaulB

Nice car, shame about the hat!!!

I am changing from steel wheels to Minators (Ital)

Is it ok to use the chrome domed wheels nuts that I use for the steels at the moment?

It is just that the CC online store seems to suggest that these nuts are specifically for the Ital fixing steel wheels. (would post a link if i knew how!! )

Any thoughts?

Thanks

PaulB

As title!

live axle (Ital) wheels. I have 2, now need another 2 or 3 !

Anything decent considered

thanks

Tyre has Michelin 185/70R13 MXT Traction A Temperature B

but not much else!

PaulB

Orange / black nose band(?) waiting at temporary lights at Osbaston on the A447, north of Hinckley.

Nice day for it

PaulB

Thanks Mark

Does this mean that my bog standard Michelin 185/70R13 MXT tyres, which I assume were supplied with the car, would not be allowed? ☹️

PaulB

The class 1 regs state...

Tyres to be listed in 2007 or 2008 MSA Technical

Regulations Competitors: Permitted Tyres [C(e)] List

1A only.

Any way of finding out which tyres are on this list?

PaulB

My 8v vx (9k miles) does just the same - no / very low indicated oil pressure for 30 i(sh) seconds. Reading between 2 and 4 the rest of the time, even after significant beans!

Doesn't seem to be a problem with my engine. I have always assumed it is the sender, though I might try a different grade of oil at the next change, just to see the effect.

PaulB

Nice car, shame about the hat!!!

Thanks chaps - some interesting options to ponder....

Nice car, shame about the hat!!!

but moaning is in the teacher job description- we have to do it!! 😬

K series might be worth investigating......

but how do I break it to SWMBO 😳

Nice car, shame about the hat!!!

Sadly, us poor teachers ☹️ can't afford 'expensive' 7s.

Still, we do get long holidays for blatting

Nice car, shame about the hat!!!

Anyone done the conversion recently to release an extra 25-30bhp from an 8v vx?

The sad demise of Bill Blydenstein removes the obvious expert.

Any recommendations?

What is the easiest ( and cheapest!) way to get the extra power?

Any thoughts??

PaulB
