Can you recommend how to get into the autosolo autotest scene near Oxford/Cheltenham? I've done a couple in the past but I'm not familiar with any of the local clubs.

I shall pm you.

Guess what I'll be doing this week 😀

 

 

Got a whine from the gear box too. Good job I've got a couple of days off work I suppose.

Making jam? 😉 

So with the manky coolant in the header tank, I thought it was going to be head gasket time but fortunately it turned out to be just a bit of dislodged muck from somewhere deep in the cooling system. A good drain, flush with a dishwasher tablet and refill has sorted it with no futher problems. Gearbox issue was sorted fairly easily too by cobbling together a good box by using good bits from 3 boxes with different problems.

 

With competitive motorsport still on hold due to the 'rona, the car has barely turned a wheel. I ported a spare exhaust manifold I had so hopefully a bit of improved flow. I've also sorted out the old tired bushes on the rear arms. A fresh set pressed in and the whole thing feels a lot more stable. Not surprising as one bush was completely no longer attached.

 

 

 

Just in time for a track day at Cadwell park tomorrow. Track prep has basically involved removing the back seats, giving it a wipe over and putting it on the trailer ready for a 4.30am start tomorrow.

 

 

 

Hopefully it'll behave itself
