Time for the monthly meeting at the Church Mouse Waldridge, Chester le Street, DH23RJ, from 7-30. Any-one in the area from Berwick in the North to Darlington in the South are more than welcome to attend, member or non member, kit builder or driver or even just thinking about getting involved with kit cars come along. Come and quiz the experienced builders that have been there and done it and have a wealth of knowledge about all things kit car.

Hi Ian, if I was building a kit now that is the route I would be tempted to take, the MX5 has been fitted to such a large variety of vehicles there will be loads of info out there if you do a bit of searching, and of coarse there is supercharging or turbo.

When I had my Exmo I used parallel for tracking.but it will depend on your self centring for your IVA it may need toe in.

I made a body coloured infill panel to bridge the gap with sealer from the cockpit side

It will be nice to see you Paul, are you ok to find your way there or do you need directions?

The first meeting of the year at the Church Mouse Waldridge, Chester le Street, DH23RJ. Waldridge, Chester le Street, DH23RJ . Once again asking if a few of the new members would like to attend, if we can get more coming I will organize more events like the one we had between Xmas and New Year. Looking forward to seeing anyone that can make it- come in your road car if your kit is off the road.

I am still not getting one, last one I had was before I moved house in about March last year!!!! I did send notification of my new address and it's right on my profile but still none.

Hi, sorry to say this but twin 45's a just too big for a 2ltr Pinto, if anything they will reduce power--have a search on the forums for twin 45's you will find lots of useful advice, there are not many firms in the North East I would trust to tune them for you, I would recommend Bogg Brothers at Malton always found them very good.Look forward to seeing you out and about once the weather improves. Alan

Hi Allan, it doesn't look like I will be able to make it tonight, I have been hanging on to see if my other half was going to change her plans for today but it looks like I am chauffeur for tonight. All the best to you for 2020 , see you at the Church Mouse on the 29th, Alan

Welcome to the North east area, I recognize the car but I can't recall where from , looks a new 3 (if its wishbones) or a 3a if it has inboard shockers Can't quite see from the angle of the photo. Nice looking car that I look forward to seeing at the monthly meetings at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ held on the last Wednesday of every month at 7-30 pm. Alan

Great run up to the Scottish Border this morning, no traffic, bright sunshine, no roof what a great way to start 2020

In a combined Rhocar and North east Kit and Classic Car Club Run out we managed a 12 car turn out with a motley selection of kits, classics and daily drivers. weather was great and we did a total run of about 100 miles. The planned halt at Hexham was abandoned as the cafe was closed but we soon found another to get our cuppa, great day out in good company, look forward to doing it again soon.

yes we are, I am hoping for a reasonable turn out-we have 5 or 6 confirmed and a few possibles.

The most likely thing is the gear lever is close to the bodywork on the gear cutout and engine movement is pushing the lever, it may need a bit of cutting out to give a bit more clearance.

Have a look on the Car Builder Solutions web catalogue they have a big range of headlights which was where I got mine from, Alan

The side lights are all on the same circuit and fuse so I would suspect a faulty wire to the rear, running a new wire to the rear shoiuld solve the problem but without finding the cause.

Run out to Hexham Sunday 29th December meet at the Holiday Inn entrance NE13 6BP to leave at10-00 am. Forcast to be a balmy 13 degrees so lets have a few more showing an interest.

But the good thing is if you miss the film it will always be repeated somewhere soon, so that;s not an excuse for not coming out to play.

Christmas Week Run-out. Sunday 29th Dec, We are planning a run out to Hexham from Cramlington taking in some of the fine Northumberland roads, to go for a cup of coffee at the Cafe in the Waitrose car-park. As most have their cars safely parked up for the winter it is a case of run what car you bring. This will be a steady run so all will be able to take part. Further details nearer the day, look forward to seeing you there.

Hi Allan, I won't be coming down, the weather here is turning worse as the day goes on not the sort of weather you want to be setting out on a 100 mile round trip, I must be getting old Enjoy you Christmas and I will see you next year. Alan

I am hoping to come down but the forecast for up here is for sleet/snow so iI will leave the final plans until nearer the time to see what happens, My wife was talking about going out that night so I may become the designated driver, why does life have to be so busy and complicated? Hope to see you Thur. But I will let you know if i'm coming. Alan

This will probably be the last meeting of the year at the Church Mouse Waldridge, Chester le Street, DH23RJ. Waldridge, Chester le Street, DH23RJ , as we don't usually have a meeting between Christmas and New Year, so it will be your last chance to exchange gifts ( A Lancia Stratos Kit pleeeese) or buy drinks etc. If we do decide to have a December meet at this venue it will be posted on here.

An enjoyable night at the Church Mouse on Wedensday, half the members attending came in their Kits which was pleasing. Allan brought along a prspective new member Pebbles originally from Barking and she seemed to enjoy the evening although she seemed a little ruff and if she got behind the wheel of a kit she could end up getting her "collar felt". She did enter into the Halloween spirit and enjoyed the treats on offer. Ok I'll get my coat

Its the monthly meeting on Wedensday and we wou;ld like to see a few more members at the Church Mouse Waldridge, Chester le Street, DH23RJ. Waldridge, Chester le Street, DH23RJ. I will be there in the Kit as usual.

I am going to make my own as the ones I have seen seem to be way too expensive for what they are, will probably end up making a couple try them out and then modify out any problems . It will be much stiffer than the standard but I don't know how stiff I can go before noise and vibration become a problem.
