My DOHC sump did not have the extra capacity extension added.

I never had an oil problem.

The suggestion of a gate hinge baffle across the point where the extension fits makes sense to me.

How much did you cut from the pickup? mine was only about 1/4 inch above and parallel to the flat bottom.

Sorry, too full of cold to make the trip enjoyable! I would have " hoodied" it. Graham

A Plan for me too. £20 cheaper than the auto renewal ,same insurance cmpany too. Way to go!!

All, My mate and I are looking for a set of Front callipers from a 24V scorpio 2.9 .

Has anyone got a set in their garage or know of a car we may source them from?

Can get callipers new or refurbished but the carriers seem to be like hens teeth.

Graham B

Yes, Great event as ever...thanks to all.

Chinese lantern made from bin liners was a failure, but a great exercise in construction.

Home safely after a detour -Bob I'll tell you when I see you.

Next year ??

The 2 Lancs and Hurricane and Mustang overflew me whilst working on the car on the drive Sunday --heading North.

What a sight !!!

last minute . com

I've got a pink pass.

See you soon

Graham B

Great news.......

I know what you mean , but "got it into 4th" , that's brave..(been there).. still another gear to go.

Enjoying it too.

Graham

Looks good .

I hope you don't need that 1" that you have just lost under the seats. I am a shorty but needed every mm I could gain to stop me having to look through the top rail of the windscreen when driving. My seats are fitted with the front up, to give a little layback position ( to allow knees bent driving ),

Graham

Count me in.

Sorry Bob.

You got me again.... Out of the country on annual hols.

Bob, Looking like a wet weekend this year.!

Sorry I cant make it . Maybe next time.

My MT75 was mounted just as your picture. I modified the stick to be very short, so really a quick shift. I had no problem with it as the stick was free to move back and forth as the gearbox moved, there was nothing locking it in place....

My guess is a faulty gearbox, not the change mechanism.

Nissan CA18DET . 1,8 l turbo. with Nissan gearbox and Ford diff.

No idea on power, maybe a rolling road later in the year.

The holes had to be fettled to fit the chassis ( which wasn't square side to side. The front of the panels I have spaced off to be tight to the fibreglass nose cone.. the right angled bottom bit is screwed to the chassis wherever it meets. so I have an empty wedge going forward. Its a case of whatever you fancy doing. There is no right or wrong !!!

I don't think that can will survive a speed bump !!!

My car has always un with motorcycle cans . Mostly from R1s .I have never noticed a restriction.

The 1800 turbo engine has 4 x 450cc pots to 7500revs. The bike had 4 x 248 cc pots to 18000 revs -- so should handle volume etc.

(Easy to change too !! )

Marcus,

Just the problems I had,.

I chopped the sump after I had sorted the exhaust. Using Nissan manifold and down tube. really tight 2.5" bend and out just over the bottom tube. That set the height for everything else. The plenum is a few thou from the bonnet !!

Graham

There was a later version of Terry's paper. It had the tunnel top and the rings for silencer spacing on !! It was the silencer wrap that confused me, most of the other bits were fairly obvious. what you haven't got can be easily fabricated. My build straightened the bulkhead so I made a new site for the battery.

Sorry I couldn't make it today. Maybe another month Graham B

Is it going to rain!!

Sunday 19 possibility for me.

He saved the weight by changing the body panels and not fitting the windscreen. I like his attitude.

He removed the RHE parts that he couldn't fit his selected lump with and built new. I cut and shut the originals.

With his new chassis members he was able to dispense with "the plough" , I wish I had done that !.

His exhaust manifold is a bit complex, I just ran straight out over the chassis. What's with the lambda sensor?

It looks a great car and bet its fun to drive, he will have lost the low down grunt the original flywheel provided, but who ran a low revs ""

Come on Marcus !!!

Mine hasn't moved since October due to weather and things. Your pic doesn't show with the exhaust manifold and turbo on.

The down pipe goes low !!!! you may need to think a bit about how get to exhaust pipes...

Sorry I didn't make it this year. See you all in 2014.

Graham B

Not at the moment Bob. Next outing is probably a blast on Xmas morning, when there is very little traffic about ..( following the Cobra , probably.....he might let me get in front if I try hard)

John Peach (hen he was area secretary)had his done. What a difference it made !
