Now that our kit car has finished its season and is away hibernating. 
I need some ideas on what we should do next, there’s always something to do to it! 
We have 

added a Hifi 

soundproofing 

changed the suspension 

added the spoiler 

upgraded the firewall 

changed the wheels. 
 

we also have a slight issue with rain coming in with our soft top. What are people doing to prevent this? 

That was a close thing, we only just managed to meet up before September ran out,   We went to Burghley House in Stamford for a picnic as the weather was glorious.   It's one of our favourite places to park up as they don't charge for parking.   And as you can see from the picture it wasn't busy  (To be fair, we always go in the overflow car park and the main park did have a fair number of cars left).  So it was very peaceful.

This is probably our last picnic, from next month we will probably go to cafes/garden centres unless we get more unseasonally warm days.

Hi All new to the group and kit car world, i have purchased a Robin Hood Superspec with a 1.6l pinto engine would anyone know if there is a workshop manual available for the engine?

Hi all im new to the site, I was wondering if anyone would know anything about the kaig mini special kit car 

Hi everyone 

I was wondering if anyone has built a kit as electric at first registration as opposed to converting an existing registered car 

I'm considering it but trying to get any direct answers from the dvla about what particular hoops they would want me to jump through seems impossible

and i don't want to spend the time and money just to find out it's prohibitly expensive, so if anyone has any insight or knowledge on the subject I'd love to hear it

i have already done an electric conversion of a BMW Z3 https://zroadster.org/threads/z3-ev-conversion.53049/

Thanks

Bit later than normal posting this one. 

Next Wednesday 24th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.

Everyone welcome, see you there

Our September meeting is on the last day of the month at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ. As usual all are welcome. Hopefully the weather will be favourable so we have a good turn out of cars, as this is usually the last meeting for a lot of owners to bring out their cars before taking them off the road for the winter. Hopefully you will be able to attend,Alan

After 10+ years & still not getting my hood finished (various other projects, hobbies, house renovation etc) & now another house & barn to renovate I've come to the decision that I need to let go of the idea of ever finishing it.

Do I cut my losses & risk selling on eBay (with a reserve so I don't totally lose out) or do I break it.

It's an 85% complete series 3A so not most ideal to get through an IVA (all the common issues where strengthening/bracing etc that are required has been done).
Engine alone is probably worth more than I would get on eBay for the entire car (2.1 pinto, big valve ported head, race cam, lightened & balanced, new twin 45 DCOE's (well new when I fitted them several years ago in the build process), oil cooler, high torque starter motor
Good low mileage type 9  5speed gearbox.
Cobra seats with brand new unused 4 point harnesses
New brakes all round (including focus rear disc conversion)
Focus wheels (4 fitted with new Toyo Proxes & 4 spares)
Correctly marked laminated windscreen
All new track arms, rod ends, bushes & tie rod conversion.

Someone is running an ‘L’ suffix registered  Westfield in pre 74 competitions and I’m not sure they existed back then?

I understand some could carry an older reg of the donor vehicle, but it’s 1400 Vauxhall engined.

The Mot history shows it first registered in October 1972, is it likely to be above board and legal?
