well a great night, route was awsome and thoroughly enjoyed it, until 200 yards before the finish the bottom end let go !! :shock: :o leaving me and my nav stuck somewhere in the middle of derbyhire waiting for a recovery truck !!! so its now stripped waiting for parts in my mums garage. im not rebuilding the bottom end as ive found a complete 60k engine cheap ! so my old standard head and cams will be for sale soon as i dont need them anymore !. on a lighter note atleast i got a decent photo taken on the night !! 8)

cheers chris !!!

well little progress report, i went out on thursday night to do a "12" car club road rally with my pal george, good result, we finished third so happy with that. Have found now tho that the front suspension needs stiffening up ! its fine for fast road use but when the going gets rough there is not enough stability to feel 100% confident on the limit, so im just waying up options with price against performance im thinkin either yellow leg billies and custom springs or gaz coil overs, so ill wait and see how things go !.
