Get rid of that death trap before it does you both damage . Death trap!?!  Its those falkens on the back that has grip endorsed by Satan! All my tools are in the boot now and the backs not stepped out since. Just need to wear em down and get some Yoko A008 to match the front. Child seats and straps are been looked into you'll be pleased to know Dave  . Not talked about a cage yet. Brakes are okay as long as I adjust them before each rally. But if any one can get hold of some fiesta callipers? |

The Duckling is back on the road. ;D A nice new white flip front is now installed. Seats, harness, roll cage and turbo next I'm happy with the drums but Paul isnt. Anyone got an anchor I could attach to the rear sub frame? |

Got into my works machine shop and run a mock today....  Drilled out the old throttle spindle bushes  Piss taking Pete  Reamed to 3/8 of an inch  Closely supervised by 'Baldy'  Tapped in the new bushes with a little 'green' metal retainer. I used the new spindle inside of the bush to stop it deforming under my abuse of a claw hammer. Perfect.  That will help to provide a better idle and fueling throughout the rpm range Just to rebuild it now. |

Another rally this weekend, two in fact. Production car trial with Sevenoaks Motor Sports club Sunday. basically off road hill climbs. May jack up the suspension for that.. Must sort out the collapsed rear suspension. Then that evening we have a final twelve car rally to compete in. Going for gold. ;D |
