  1. OK you better download the IVA book and start working your way through. When you get stuck or need a different viewpoint please post here or come along to a local meet and compare against another car.
  2. Hi Murray, Do you have any further information, has been through SVA/IVA? Was it registered historically and sold without plates? Could it be a a illegal car registered incorrectly in the past or using donor plates?
  3. Retirees should be handicapped like horse racing! You must tow a 500kg weight, only use left foot braking and accelerating, wear pink shell suits, shoes should be at least size 13 Doctor martins and only travel between twilight hours......when your anus is aligned with Jupiter.
  4. Hi, First thing wow that sledge was built when I was born and yes I know about the snow in Basingstoke because I had to stay in a hotel for two days more expected. Not fun!
  5. I’m with Derek, sounds like a poor earth. Easy to test with a jumper cable from the earth to chassis, try to back probe the indicator with a split pin or bed of nails on the cable.
  6. Looking good so far, are you going to paint or powder coat the chassis?

    Stickers

    I like the other sign. I think we can start a great post with the new club stickers ‘show us yours’ I mean where have you displayed your stickers?
  8. I have had 3 twin Weber’s and Dellortos and they run best at 3.5 psi, I have never used the mechanical pump always fitted electric pump at or very near to fuel tank. With current set up twin 45’s I choose a pressure regulator.
  9. Great job Richie I wish the zero had a tow bar I have plans for a rear drop caravan. Can’t wait to see it at next show.
  10. Kit spares sell a kit https://www.kitspares.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1101 and Demon tweaks has one for wide track westy.
  11. Very nice, I have stainless steel panels and starting to look poor due to wear and tear I would be tempted to get the car wrapped if the finish was this good.
  12. Not exactly the same issue but prior to my IVA I read that some testers like to see a nut on this bolt so I fitted a high tensile 8.8 bolt and nyloc nut.
  13. Fantastic idea, might encourage more travel and get to meet other U.K. kit car club members that we do not see except at Stoneleigh once a year. Could also be a great addition to our magazine, photo of cars and U.K. map with pins/flags where people have been.
  14. What he said, plus lots of cleaning and degreasing. Have you thought about powder-coating or wrapping.
  15. Sounds great, we need more events like this. As a member of this club and NWKCOG I will be spoilt for a parking space. Looking forward to the event.
  16. I feel your pain Alan, the one trip I did not want to miss was Wales and other half booked a holiday.
  17. Stoneleigh every time for me.
  18. So you sort out Steering geometry camber etc., including height of the car all round with front 10mm lower than the rear in most cases then adjust corner weights. Or is it corner weights first, then steer geometry?
  19. Hoodie arrived, looks good and feels thicker than previous versions. So far very good I will let you how if it shrinks in the wash!
  20. Look identical to mine from 1.8 Sierra vented discs 240mm diameter by 24mm wide.
  21. Hi Kerry, what process did you follow to do the corner weights?
  22. Hi Richy, sorry I cannot make tomorrow I still need to sort camber and get a new tyre fitted. But looking like I will get some garage time next weekend. Catch up soon.
