To be honest Iv fucked around a lot and you'll be surprised that some things don't make the difference you'd imagine - weather seems to have more of an effect! What's your base timing set at? I also need to write some part numbers down off your car lol

I feel I should have fucked around more! Base timing is at 'z' with VAC off and plugged. What numbers are they then?

  • It's alive! This gearbox has got oil in and everything :) About the running order. Can I go about an hour before the end? Reckon that'll be about right for the RAC getting there.

  • The only time you stall a car at traffic lights, is either when you're learning to drive, or your starter motor doesn't work.

5-6 base I guess, the mk2 dizzy has quite a lot of total timing in them so you can't really go too wild on the base timing anywho, most AFH's I know that have been tweaked on a RR with carbs have ended up with a base timing of 6-7 deg I believe

Saf i got the topcaps,
Liz i've got a spi injection pump :)
I'll see if i can get some 19mm Nuts dude

Jamie. Are you & Sam & oli running? & max?

Double winning Jamie, as I couldn't find a pump! Cheers dude

Damper nut pitch varies, but it's usually 1.25 not 1.5.

I can get a pair, but not by Saturday.

Considering bringing a 1.6 16v bottom end. Bit late to find out if anyone would want it, and it's a bit heavy to drag about for nothing.

If the pitch varies, are there two different type of castle nuts then surely? I thought there was only one.

I need to run a die over the threads on one of the shocks to clean it up now :(

Excellent thanks a lot, let me know what you want for it

Weather looks like it will be dry... :-) but it looks to be cold.

Dont know what weather you was watching :lol:

BBC and my phone say its ok in Stourbridge. But that might have changed since I checked :-)

Spoke to Aldon today, they didn't seem that open to any carb tweaking unfortunately. Its all down to time really. I think they must be expecting a lot more than the fourteen or so cars on our list.

Lol , its always duckin freezin :D , ill be attending but not running . Vic i wouldnt worry too much I'm sure there will be plenty of carb fiddlers there :tongue:

Mark you're coming out at night mate, max misses you

bear jel. like, grizzly bear

Up and away I'm waiting on Neil and we'll be off
