THat sounds great so if your car is down - you could get a ride so would go along anyway! Instead of £35 they get £55 - £10 each to get in then £25 for the car and driver and £10 for the passenger. Great way to get more takings but less cynically…

Well the parts were in the workshop - 50 miles away :( Fortunately I had my own A-bar (that I use to tow thew car to events) so recovery was easy - the AA dont have anything they can use to recover the Rapid except a transporter - and there arnt ma…

Further modifications

Well going down to the Ace Cafe didnt happen as I got stuck on the A1 waiting for the AA - I had a push rod break.

When I got back and had a look - it was a bad pushrod.

Replaced this, started up and Ive got a ticking - hmmmm.

Looking round there is nothing obvious till you look at the carburettor - there is a hole the size of my little finger in it!

I dont use the carb anyway so I will fit a throttle body.

I have one off a K series engine so I have made up an adapter to go from this to the… Continue

Getting Ready for Thursday

Spent Saturday getting ready for Thursday -

Swapped the gearbox - now Ive got one with 5 forward gears instead of 4 1/2.

Checked the distributor after a disasterous day at the rolling road

The thing was rusty and advancing too soon (floppy springs). So I have built a new one and modified the advance curve.

It runs better than it did although it is a bit lean after having to repair the LPG venturi.

Ah well - try it Thu… Continue

My best time in the quarter is 13.9 at 100 mph. Low 14s are more common. It is still all stock and on street tires.
