  1. i shoild be in shef next week. As i've been on a work palcement in Hereford since april, i took a bit of a gamble by not getting anywhere to live so i didn't have to pay 2x rent, so next week is trying to find somewhere! Currnetly trying to find someone to let me sleep on their floor for a few nights, which is proving harder than i first thought!

  2. yeah, i'll probably end up buying a new kit, but i'll keep my eyes open! Stainless panels is a definate, dunno about chassis - i'm a little concerned about the fatigue life of stanless steels (as big jim has fallen foul of).

     

    So what are you doing now? Graduated or foolish like me and staying on?

  3. I'm working up to getting one, a project for between finishing uni and getting a job (i've got another year as i chose to do a masters :huh: ).

     

    I'd be keen on getting a part built kit,. but i've got plenty of time to survey things and decide what ireally want B)

  4. you can read your rim size off from the side of the tyre - they should be something along the line of a code like eg 205/50/15 for the RH wheels, the last number being the wheel rim diameter. (first is tread width, 2nd is sidewall height as a percentage of tread width).

     

     

    PS Hiya, this is Andy Wilkinson (materials sheffield + 1st year motorsports club)

  5. i might add that a lot of it was on foot, asking people.... oh it's only a bit further... tiny bit further... nononono, you wanna go all the way round, *bleep* gotta walk back to get the car.

    Nearly ended up watching the motorbikes at one point :blink:

  6. I went with my brother in an ordinary tin top (i'm working up to buying a lightweight next summer). It was my first kit car show, and i thougth it was pretty good, and worth the money, tho i wouldn't bother going again, unless as a hoodie (and got in cheap).

     

    The only real problem i had was with signage to the event. After seeing my first sign for donington park (i've never been before), it was nearly 2 hours before i found myself at the right point, and parked up. I think the icing on the cake was after pullling in to the correct entrance ( :gdit: ), there was a sign pointing right, when we needed to go straight on! /rant ;)
