Hi managed to source a second hand standard exhaust anyone have picture on how it mounts to body / chassis drivers side , it has a bracket welded to it guess from when it was new on exhaust?

Here's another meet up you might be interested in... Sundays are a no for me this month, but that doesn't stop anyone else from going, if you go please take a picture or two and post on here. Have fun

Edit: The exhaust in these pictures is not the one that's currently fitted - I replaced this 5" exhaust with a a 7" repackable stainless exhaust last summer. I'll also try to get some pictures of the side screens at the weekend...

Reluctant sale of my stunning and highly individual Robin Hood 2B. I'm the original owner/builder. It's all correctly tested and registered on an age related plate, and with 'Robin Hood 2B' on the V5. Currently has 12 months MOT, and just 5500 miles on the clock. Never raced or abused, and always garage stored. It's in immaculate condition throughout, and always draws a lot of attention and compliments. Meticulously detailed with many unique and custom features - There's really very little you could describe as "standard", and I think it's reasonable to describe it was one of the most unique and immaculately presented examples built. The base kit-spec is a mild steel chassis with stainless panels, front wishbones, and wide rear arch kit. The donor was a 1986 Ford Sierra 2.0GL Although it isn't used much, I've kept it taxed and MOT'd, and looked after and serviced accordingly. For example, over the past few years I've done work on the brakes, suspension, and a new exhaust. After 20 years of ownership though, life moves on and it seemed like right time for a new owner to enjoy it. £6750 ono FULL DETAILED SPEC as follows... Chassis and Bodywork Mild Steel chassis etch primed and finished in 2K gloss black GRP and wide rear arches finished in Ford Imperial Blue Pearl DAX cycle wings with custom brackets Modified Headlamp Brackets Fixed scuttle and forward tilting bonnet (unrestricted engine access) Custom nose cone skirt and air intake scoop with recessed '7' enamel badge Marine style stainless steel engine bay vents Stainless Steel '7' Windscreen pillars, Chromed '7' Grille Dedicated Jacking points, with jack included Steering and Suspension Adjustable GAZ Coilovers all round Upgraded front wishbones (OldTimbo kit), improving suspension geometry and adjustable for camber/rake/trail, etc Camber adjustment sleeve has been upgraded to the stronger steel version Tie rod ends replaced 2018 Bottom ball joint dust covers replaced 2022 Track rod ends replaced 2018 Rear camber correction wedges fitted Refurbished Speedline alloys with new Toyo Proxes T1R tyres (approx 4000 miles wear) Locking wheel nuts Spare wheel Electical & Lighting Premier Wiring Systems Loom Halogen Headlamp bulb upgrade High level rear brake light (roll bar) Individual rear lights Mini Wiper motor, with stainless wiper arms Side Indicators incorporated into wing mirrors and nose cone Engine, Mechanical & Brakes Ford Pinto Engine - originally carb, now running aftermarket fuel injection OMEX 600 ECU - rolling road setup at Steve Walford Motorsport Honda CBR Throttle Bodies on a custom DANST Engineering inlet manifold, ITG Filter Adjustable fuel pressure regulator (with removeable guage) Focus injectors Weber 36-1 Crank Position Kit Coil Pack 205 block completely refurbished and rebuilt to 2.1 spec, new pistons, etc Vulcan Engineering cylinder head, unleaded valve seats FR32 Cam, Vernier Pulley Lightened & balanced flywheel Shortened sump New CBS 7" Stainless exhaust fitted 2021, with 4-1 manifold kit STACK Lambda Sensor* (Not currently fitted) New Clutch fitted during engine rebuild Type 9 5-speed gearbox with quick-shift kit Vibra-Technics Gearbox mount Kenlowe Electric 'sucker' fan, with adjustable thermostat Aluminium Oil catch and water expansion tanks Braided Stainless Steel brake hose kit fitted New front discs fitted during build Greenstuff pads fitted 2021 New Rear drums, slave cylinders and service kit fitted 2021 Custom Alifab fuel tank (approx 40+ litres), baffled and swirl pot New SYTEC Fuel Pump Interior and Boot Cobra 7 seats in black vinyl with blue piping Willans 4-point harnesses in Blue Drivers seat on sliding runner Momo Team leather steering wheel Fully carpetted and upholstered cabin, in black carpet and blue/black vinyl Custom dashboard, featuring brushed stainless central console, and top-mounted instrument pods Caerbont individual guages - Aluminium bezel, white face.

As usual in October we are off to the Corby Glen Sheep Fair (NG33 4NS - www.sheepfair.co.uk) this Sunday (9th October). For those that have not been before, this is a traditional small village fete with all the usual stalls, entertainment, food and drink, dog show, craft shows, morris dancing, car display..... and this is the 784th one so they must be doing something right. Unlike other shows the organisers are very relaxed about the car display and although the Fair is open from 10:00-16:00 they are happy for us to arrive whenever we like and leave whenever we like. I normally park up about 09:30 and reserve some spaces (I live only 1 mile away so it isn't difficult). I 'think' I've sorted out the weather so it should be dry We park next to the war memorial at the West end of the villae. This is the approach route, it's the only bit with a dropped kerb. See you there. Al

I’ll try to make it. Nick

Very important - they wanted that to allow a current plate. Congrats on the pass...

October's meet is on Wednesday the 5th at: Monk's Bridge Farm Nobel Way, Dinnington, S25 3QB  Coming eastbound from the M1 J31, take a left at the roundabout by the red lion and proceed for nearly 2 miles, and Monk's bridge is the 4th exit off the next roundabout. https://goo.gl/maps/TcekDG8AHPQ2 Normal time is 7:30. Please post if you plan to attend, Andy

Also just to point out, a volunteer would not be jumping into the dark abyss. You would be getting full support from the outgoing relevant committee member(s) and / or the committee. Fresh ideas come from new volunteers Andi

A huge welcome to you all. Quite a few in from down South, which is always good to spread the mix about. Please fire away with the questions, no matter how big or how small. They love questions on this site. Andi Mr Chairman

fabulous news, welcome aboard everyone

Nice - mines a bit different

Thanks Alan Ill be there Take care n stay safe

Bit of cosmetic work today!

Hi everyone As we hoped September perked up a bit. Of the 22 members whose subscription expired, 15 renewed. We also picked up up a very healthy 12 new members. So overall we went up by 5 to 389. Looking forward to breaking the 400 barrier, hopefully by Xmas. So here are the new members, following the usual format with their forum username and location with their actual first name in brackets if it isn't obvious. daniel reast South East allytek (Allan) Scotland g8spence (Spencer) South West Lockstock2sb2000 (Simon) South West Spanners (Tim) South East lawlessdee (David) South East Roy Greenwood West Midlands Leon Hellyer South West Darren Knowles East England ajoy0000 (Andrew) South East Thomas Lamarque (and Rupert his son) South East I continue to encourage all the Commuinty Users reading this to seriously consider becoming full members. Apart from helping to keep the Club running, the benefits (Insurance discount, Europarts discount, access to the Club stand at shows...) save you more than the cost of membership. Al (Membership Secretary)

I would have loved to do the rally at Weston park on the Sunday, but I will be in the States. Typical, it's just down the road for me

Are you going to these Andi?

Sorry, I can't make this one.
