A wee update on the cars
ben a busy few weeks for me with the Fiesta, done Knockhill twice in 2 days, attended a track nite with a company who specialise in Honda tuning, and boy did we have a laugh with all the Honda Vetec boys and girls
On the nite I fooked the syncros in teh quaiffe box, so decided id had enoug of messing about, and sent the gearbox down to Peter at G.E.A.R.S in southport to get fully rebuilt into a later IB5 casing with later, better syncros, bearings etc...... came back with brand new Ford casing and was fitted in time for Croft at the Durham and Derbyshire RSOC regional day , where the car ran absolutely faultlessly until the very last session when the rear brake pipe broke and i came off the circuit , but no damage as it was at sunny in where theres plenty run off,,,,,,, thankfully , just new pair of Y fronts was required
1st session, this is me just going back out after spinning the car , and coming back to the pits to check everything was OK Going out and had a bit of a tussle with 2 subarus, with one in front and the other one right behind me.
This is incar footage of one of the afternoon sessions, and Alister MacMillan in his Noble goes by me just at the entry to Jim Clark esses, and i give chase.
watch what happens next time round when we overtake the Paul Swift MK2 Escort cosworth at the esses, almost full chat in 5th gear and it goes sideways, man did i get a fright
:D
Fiesta is now just sitting there, im having a break from that as its been non stop money lately , Ill get it back up and running in the next week or so, as im going to Teeside Autodrome on the 29yh August for a track day, which is open pit lane so should be good
Focus has been getting some cosmetics , heres a quick sneak pic, not quite finished yet , still waiting on a few parts to arrive from Graham Goode RAcing and Roose Motorsport
