Lovely day out and meet up. The run this morning was a bit rough as it was very cold and misty (and I got trapped behind a lorry carrying hay for 5 miles, shedding his load at every bump in the road so my car is full of pieces of hay) but after lunch the sun came out and it was a lovely ride back (45 mins each way for me). It was especially good for me as my car has been off the road for a month and I fixed her only yesterday. (Couldn't start her, eventually traced to a failed ignition coil) Now I have to spend another 45 mins cleaning off the mud

Time to get our cars back on the road after they have been sitting there over Xmas. So first meet of 2025 is going to be next Thursday (16th Jan) at the Welland Vale Garden Centre at Uppingham (LE15 9EU). Usual time of 12:00, all welcome.

Users regularly ask questions about Alternator wiring. Hopefully this disagram expains it.

For those of us with ECUs experiencing problems (a hunting idle in my case), This is good read. Suggested by Derek Overfield and reproduced from the https://passionford.com/forum website

This is an example of technical information that might be useful for other members, although in this case, maybe only Superspec owners. While he was rewiring his car AndyW produced this detailed wiring diagram to supplement the rather simplistic one produced by Robin Hood Engineering. Andy Wiring Diagram.xls

I have attached a spreadsheet that a list of the parts used in the Superspec model, using codes we know them. Hopefully that will help Superspec owners to find spares when things go wrong. If you have any corrections/additions please post here. Superspec Parts List.xls

We have created this new forum so members can upload any technical documentation they feel might be useful to other members. However, we need to be careful with copyright issues so for now we will allow only Committe members to upload any content. If you have a document you feel is relevant that you have either written yourself or is freely available on the Internet or you believe has no copyright issues then please send it to one of the Committee so we can post it on your behalf (with an acknowledgement). As examples I have kicked it off with a list of the parts used in the SuperSpec model and a detailed wiring diagram.

One of our memenbers, Russ Garrett, has bought to my attention that there have been a number of scam profiles on Facebook that are targeting kit car pages GBS/ Robin hood and so on, by trying to sell parts. They ask for a deposit then disappear. When you look at the sellers profile it is often lacking in information and content, also the low price of the parts can be tempting. Just remember the old adage, "If it seems to good to be true, it probably is....".

Well, I really have to eat my words this month. I thought that with the season finishing and winter approaching that we would see a reduction in new members and an increase in the number of owners not renewing. As it turned out I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only did we lose only 4 members but we gained an incredible 14 new members. It is really good to see all this new blood coming into the Club.
