Knock-on

Hi,

Mine don't exactly line up, nothing said at SVA, he had a good look at anchorage etc, too.

 

Tony

Cheers Tony

I'm up against a deadline so if it can wait till after, then all well and good

Quick update.

For the warning lights on the Digidash, they have to be run to live and not ground as they would be on the Sierra loom.

Apparently this is because they were designed for race use and therefore have a direct feed.

To render the vehicle inoperative, and to prove you had no intention of driving off, you could always take a wheel off, store it in the back of the van, and chock the axle up on bricks. Surely that demonstrates an intention of one not wanting to drive off.

Bit of a faff, but it may be OK.

 

Well, that's my 'aypenny for today anyroad.

 

Si

Or, if you can't be bothered, park it in Liverpool for the night

Would a wheel clamp get around it. The vehical would be disabled and not drivable?

Hi Chaps

I'm after a complete wiper and heater assembly from a small car like a Polo or Mini if anyones got one?

Cheers

Knockie

Last few days everyone!!!

Difficult one.

Perhaps if you have a lockable glove box or something and the keys were in there? The boys in blue would at least be able to see you have made every effort to demonstrate your not going to be driving. However, there have been cases where the Police have been a bit over zealous recently such as this one:

When you can get 3 points for eating a snack, smoking a fag or turning up the volume on the stereo, gawd knows what they could do if you have a couple of sherberts and get one with a bee in his bonnet.

Technically, even if you're parked up in a Private caravan pitch and have had a couple of drinks, you can still be prosecuted. Scarey isn't it!!

I used some black Hermitite as it was fitted to the sump in situ. It was a *%&*$%* of a job on the 2b but just about possible without taking the engine all the way out.

No leaks

I have a Polo one on the centre struts above the prop. Then I'm going to fab a enclosure so it should make a nice arm rest.

If you need, I'll post a pic.

Cheers guys. An afternoon trudging round the muck, mud and sludge that's known as Chobham Salvage seems on the cards. I know they have a Polo as I had the Handbrake off it before Christmas

I'm going to try and get a cheap heater etc for fitting the screen prior to SVA rather than after.

I know people go on about Mini ones but is that any Mini including new ones and are there any other viable options?

Cheers

I've an older ETB one on my 2b which is wired up no problems apart from the warning lights for the hand brake / fluid and that's only because I haven't figured them out yet.

Put the magnets on the prop over the weekend and turned it to get a reading. Many a "High Five" with my mate when we saw a reading. It was almost as if this thing was actually going to be finished one day soon

Does anyone know what the regs are for a seatbelt being threaded through a seat are?

The holes in mine are a bit narrower than the welded mounts on the car.

As it is, one is nicely lined up but one is slightly out of alignment.

Should I angle it off and try rewelding it which may look a bit of a bodge with my welding or do they not have to line perfectly up?

The bearded one on Fifth gear said it was Tiff Needell on Monday night??

There's been a few different ones. Pretty sure Matt Neal done a couple and you can't mistake that Lanky bugger. How he gets in a Touring car is beyond me.

It's long been suspected that Ben was the Stig but I would be surprised if he let it slip. Great advertising for TG though

Signed.

 

It makes me laugh you know. People living near a racing circuit and complaining about the noise!!

 

We have a similar problem here in Ramsgate with Kent International Airport (formerly RAF Manston). All the time the RAF were flying night circuits, (nice and quiet Vulcans, Phantoms, Lightnings etc ), there were no complaints. But since the airport has been sold to a private company, there are a whole plethora of complaints about noise, emissions etc, (some of them are well founded - don't get me wrong), but the majority of the complaints seem to be from people who have moved into the area for a quiet retirement by the seaside and bought a house under or near the flightpath!

 

The bloody seagulls during the breeding season make more noise, for longer, but there are no complaints about them, damn sh***hawks, can't get my beauty sleep during the summer!!!

Speak for yourself.

I remember as a kid those bloody gliders coming over the Manston Caravan Park at about 50ft. You could hear every word the instructer was saying to the young ATC lads.

However, there is a nasty worm going around at the moment called confiker so make sure your OS and Virus updates are up to date.

As a general rule. If you send on chain letters, jokes or warnings to people, it's good practice to remove the sending history and forward as BCC to try and avoid ending on spam lists.

Go on the forum as there's lots of helpful people.

There's only 5 hours left but if anyones interested in a cheap motor.

LOL thanks alot, as this will be my 1st build your already giving me ideas! 3.9 v8??? was that in a zero kit?

do you know if there is a limmit of engine the zero can take?

 

@Bazwaz: do you have any pictures of this 3.9 monster?

 

Boots

There's an optimum but not a limit.

I heard a whisper that MK engineering are putting together a kit with a V10 Viper engine for some idiot. You could never use a fraction of the power and it would handle like a slug.

Stealing a Pinto sump is easy.

You just need a Balaclava, socket set.....

(I'll get my coat )

Definitely an old farts car. I'm 60 years old and always keep to the speed limits. They are there for the benefit of all. Often to be seen racing through the countryside at 40 mph with a couple of fellow hoodies chasing after me trying to keep in touch.

 

Young people are in too much of a hurry these days. My motto is if 30 mph is safe then 25 is safer.

 

Nigel

25mph. Hooligan!!

Well done although I don't think that exhaust bracket is SVA compliant

Give us a clue lads---Is this kit ---too old ----too expensive ---too much of a challenge---polite helpful replies only please.

I don't think the age is a worry although obviously a lot of bits may need replacing or rebuilding including the engine.

I think the price is wayyyy off though. I picked up a part built with almost all the parts for just over a grand a couple of years ago and as has been said, we're not in the most optimistic financial climate

Should be a good track car. Wonder how it compares to a lot of the other cars you can get for the £9000......

I saw it earlier today and nearly choked.

£9k is being a little optimistic I think. About £3k optimistic

Yep, the law according to Sod strikes again.

Couple of quick questions.

What build photo's does everyone recommend are taken and what if i don't have all receipts / proof of disposal of the donor vehicle etc as I purchased mine as a part built?

Cheers
