    They say there's a first time for everything......

    Yeah,having great fun. Luckily it went halfway through the last section so didn't affect my score too much,in fact i came 1st in class! :D :D the only problem was how to bodge it to drive the 20 miles home. So with the aid of a coke can,some old rag (to bung the hole in the rear flange) a cane...

    V8 R380 & discs in S3 leafer

    A V8 isn't that hard to fit to a series,the engine mounts to the original mountings on the chassis by using different mounts bolted to the block,you can use a series gearbox you just need a conversion plate and the flywheel needs to be drilled to fit the series clutch and a modified spigot bush...

    Sluggish disco.........not any more!

    The one on the top of the pump increases the amount of fuel at low boost so could be that that's causing the problem,did you turn it clockwise to increase fuel?

    Trialing the Series 2a

    Near Crymych,west Wales This is CCV trials (cross country vehicle) and although there is a standard class you need a full rollcage to compete. What you need is RTV trials (road taxed vehicles) which is very similar just a bit tamer. I drove mine 30 miles to the trial competed all day and...
