I have invited the Staffs guys.

We could try and do a Leicestershire and Staffordshire meet in the middle, north of Brum on A5 truck stop!

Thanks Andy, I will be there, hopefully the weather will be good and I will take the kit to work in Cannock.

Never thought Gaz would sell it. A very rare beast indeed.

I will check when I get home, working in office today.

I have a starter in the garage not sure what it was off, if you upload a photo or pm me I will check.

I'm getting a warm tingling feeling inside! I should get out more.

Thanks Peter, very useful I will check this weekend. So cruising on motorways it would be better to have a 3.38 diff and to put power on the ground a higher ratio of 3.92 but be prepared for more engine noise.

So jealous, I'm aiming to go to Le Mans next year with NWKCC. Any hints for such a long journey would be appreciated.

Thanks I will look into this but gearboxes tend to be very expensive compared to diffs, even if I decide to go LSD. Not sure what mods are available for MT75 but I will investigate.

Yes it will, but I do try and stick to A and B roads although going to Le Mans next year it could get annoying on the motorway.

Genuine spark plugs arrived today.

Hi all, Reflecting on a late night conversation whilst camping last weekend. I think my acceleration compared to some of the other cars was very slow. I have a MT 75 gearbox with the following ratio's; 1st 3.61 2nd 2.08 3rd 1.36 4th 1.00 5th 0.83 My diff I believe it's a 3.62 (although not checked yet) but purchased from ex-club member..First job on the weekend after sorting the miss-fire. So not fussed about top end speed, but I recall someone saying they do about 2700 @ 70mph. Mines is a lot higher. Could I fit a 3.92 diff to improve acceleration?

Ford coil pack £78 and Euro car parts £18 I wonder what quality difference will be and how long it will last!

I will get another coil, a useful spare to carry for other club members at shows.

OK replaced the bullet facet fuel filter. But made no difference, cutout 3 in the weekend on the way to camping venue. It was pointed out that there was a miss-fire in the run out, so ordered new plugs and leads. No harm having a spare set for the future. I am intending to replace the ECU from megajolt to ME100 to power the vvt but would like it to be running right first. Details twin 45's with 5 progression holes set up by Bailey performance, ST170 engine with megajolt, facet fuel pump with fuel pressure regulator set at 2.5.

Hi, I have a Ford xflow gasket kit top and bottom end including head gasket that I no longer need. £20 including p&p.

Nice looking car, someone is going to get a bargain.

I would normally sing the AA praises, they have the best patrols and more of them. I worked for them for 17 years, but the new management team and not very ethical so I search for another and found 2gether breakdown cover. Also worth looking at you insurance provided they can normally get a better deal than individuals.

Thanks Chris, Great to see you all again and have a few social distancing drinks, just what the doctor ordered. See you at Stoneleigh.

It's been a while but I thought Protech did a conversion kit so you can use traditional coilovers with adjustable nuts.

Thanks Neil, Got mine, always a good read. I will try to contribute something for next edition.

You could use this https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/fuel-filler-neck Drill and seal to you existing fuel cap.

I do every day, kids, wife, fostering, daily runner and kit car. Plus £50 for is only two tanks of fuel so roughly 200 miles of fun and enjoyment.

Well done to the helper, I cannot repeat what my wife says on this forum when I ask for help.
