Sunday happened I was going well on the runs but competition was really tight and I knew I had to really push the car on the first timed run. Instead of staying in second for a corner, I carried a bit more speed and tried third. Took too much speed in and ran wide on the exit. I was straight for the timing gear, so tried to pull away which meant I just clipped the protective tyres, span me round and bounced off a stone wal. oops!

It just means I can concentrate on the rebuild.
I will probably go and play at some of the events in my spare fun car, although its a cinquecento so not quite as quick.

prep for roll cage
A bad photo, but the cage is in
And as i'm running in road going and need the car for autosolo's, the interior went back in. This was a big issue around the cage with the cards. I still need to smooth off some fibreglass round the door cards and spray them, but its enough to run in class at the moment.
And how it currently stands with the road wheels on (0.5kg a heel heavier than the other ones)
So far this year, I've managed 2 autosolos. And won my class in both :twisted:
can someone confirm the photos's work? I just had to go back through and change the links/hosting.

It is bolted in, so hopefully I can remove it after my next crash

At least you may not suffer from my issue of being underpowered

Be good to see you having a go Graham it would make three FRP's as my friend Rod Wheat pedals a stripped out FRP every season.

Graham can you remove the NOS AFAIK it is not permitted for MSA events. Though have not read any regs for a few years.

May even take the Stiletto, depending on the day and how I feel.
They would never let me up the hill in competition in that
I have two Puma's as well, Scrappy 1.7 has joined the fleet.
Currently running ST170 brake and FRP suspension on the back, soon to be front too.
Thats the car if its wet
As its only a school and not a event, if the FRP goes I will do a few runs standard and at least one with NOS just to compare.
Mk3 XR3i

T Reg 1.7 Lux Puma

I ended up winning my class, with puma's 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I think over recent years they are coming back as Motorsport cars. I think that could be my lot of events for the year now. I may squeeze in another but we will see.

How do you find the clutch stands up?
