Decided against using the second hand SD cage, and bought a new FIA one off Rich, so if anyone wants a show cage or a non FIA one with all fixings and nuts and bots, give me a shout

Car booked into a local bodyshop to have the floor plates welded in next week, mate of mine, for cash !

just glad to make a start getting a bit of prep done for Blyton ... and perhaps beyond !

Still working away on this car , but not sure what I will end up doing with it, as I’ve bought a complete ready to go car for Blyton, all roll cage plates and mountings welded in now and new FIA SD cage fitted

On the rollers today to see how good the MED engine is, 113 at the flywheel on first run bit of timing adjustment and bigger jets hit us to 116

So very happy with that, and it does sing !

He’s a guy on the Shap Road , does loads of stock cars, mini stocks etc in an old farm


Just thought it was worth a run up , he’s cheap enough, has all the jets etc, just wanted to see if it was as good as advertised!

Don’t know what that will relate too at the wheels as he does it all through his lap top

90 plus ??

I'm booked into JDM at Kirkbride with that (day before Blyton) and the 8 port (next Sat) for some mapping.

that’s him , yeah some thing that Mini with that BMW motorbike head , and he has an E30 at the paint shop as his next project , I follow him to work most days in his M3 , he gets in my way !!

Defo not using this one for Blyton , but after today , may use it at Harewood , that unit would go well in KEC !

Yeah looking forward to the year John , get the craic and banter going again ! Now where’s Mini Spares Rich to wind the job up !!!

Hi,

Sorry to hijack, could you give me the contact details of the Rev shed? I have a 1275gt that I have put twin carbs on and want setting up better. We are doing the ilkley jubilee in it on the 15th, I was going to take it to minisport but their rollers are broken/being serviced. I only live at Lupton so this would be ideal.

Thanks
