Thanks for that, I see I got 1st and last pic on the comp vid. I didn't do too well in the comp as I bent the front panhard rod and couldn't repair it so DNF. Can't wait to go there again the MX track was great fun.

Yes not long now, I see the National comp is over 4 miles, can't wait.

Yes three years where has that gone ? I was fine after the roll, I only lost 15 sec's on that lap which was the first lap of 12. Vid on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/simon.saunt.39

Yes I have booked the National, are you going ?

Well an update is in order. I have been comping this motor for 3 years now without much trouble. No broken diffs, shafts or gearbox. I swopped the engine last year because it was a bit smokey which it was from the start and I have changed the steering box to fix a leak. I have bent the steering...

The radiator is a Range Rover L322 TD6 rad.

That was because I didn't want them sticking out of the bodywork

After you have welded up the old diff bolt holes the new holes will be on the edge of the welds which are hard and will deflect your drill bit, use a lathe center to start the holes as it won't deflect.

Hi, I removed the diff pan and then machined the diff flange 15mm bigger dia, I then clearenced the other side of the casing for the crown wheel. then drill and tap the casing for the bolts that hold the diff in, finally weld the diff pan back on. There are some pic's in the build thread.

Yes Jai I saw you was moving house, We went up the previous weekend to do the camp site and stayed there all week weather was awsome. Some P&D lads built a motor for the Comp on site. And yes 21 rolls in the CCV a new record.

I have just done the ALRC national Comp. The car is going better, I am happy with the front shock settings but just need a bit more compression damping on the rears.

LOL yes that was an early lap I did get faster as the day went on but my Gopro battery went flat.

Yes it looks much better with the grill. I was trying to buy a couple of series grills too make one grill but they were fetching silly money so I made my own with a piece of woven stainless steel which is better in some ways as it is finer mesh.

I have changed the front on the motor, different colour and a mesh grill. I have revalved the shocks again and it is much better and I would say almost there on that score. My driving is getting better and I am getting to know how it handles, the more I drive it the more I like it.
