I'd be interested in FRP wings

Anyone got a rear beam knocking about? Needs to be straight (obviously). Somewhere in reach of SW London to be ideal. thanks!

Yes, but: a) the end of life extension for SA2010 wasn't confirmed until late in the day by the MSA so a lot of people delayed buying and b) if you were buying new, would you prefer a SA2010 or 2015? If they can extend 2010, they can extend 2015. One thing is certain - SA2015 won't expire...

Even if you don't want to buy secondhand for the reasons outlined above, the rule changes also mean manufacturers are trying to get rid of Snell SA2010 accredited helmets which are perfectly good and now heavily discounted.

Looks tidy! link Nothing to do with me, just posted here for a good drool!

Custom made to my measurements. Imagine my surprise when it fitted first time :lol:

Solution for the PSF bubbling over everywhere: :idea: Bigger capacity so same volume of PSF only half fills it and contains two horizontal baffles - the upper one being above the PSF level. Hopefully this will stop it bubbling over everywhere.

yes - that's how I would do it (if I had my car to hand!) :grin:

Can anyone tell me the internal diameter of the hoses that connect to the PSF reservoir? Thanks in advance...

Well done, but an event that will be remembered for the wrong reasons. Love the last pic! Caution with the light bars - I think they don't deliver what they promise quite yet. I am sure they'll improve but I've heard mixed reports and they're very expensive at the moment. Maybe put a pair of...

Yes, that'll concentrate the mind - you're really going to have to listen to your nav!

Yeah - my thoughts too. Sacrificial part etc. I take spare wishbones but can't fit a spare beam in! Think I'll just live with it / risk it and maybe drive over car-sized potholes a bit slower...

Just doing SVs as an extended shakedown to get to know the car and it's handling and foibles. I want to get out into the Forests in the 2nd half of next year. It seems to have just bent the beam although I have also managed to whack the sumpguard with such force as to crease the inner wing...

Thanks Red. Having cut my teeth in a Challenge-spec 205 1600, the extra 50bhp was luxury and the handling was awesome. Neither a full-on Mk2 nor an Impreza WRC could shake us until the power sections. :grin:

Did Wethersfield stages today. Managed to try the Puma out on some really fast bits (corners flat in 4th etc). We overcame a lot of the understeer on a sequence of 2nd gear corners that are almost designed to induce it but didn't eliminate it although left foot braking helped too. Suffered from...

Well done for finishing, Johnny! Good to get the seat time in the car. We had a fuel starvation issue too - I'll be looking into getting a baffled tank. I'm not going to be offended in you getting different springs, honest! But I would like to understand why you are changing them? Was the...

P.S. if there is one Top Tip from me, it would be that it's the crests that catch you out more than the corners, so pay special attention to them on the recce.

Mull as a first rally is quite ambitious...still, there is a lot to be said for "learning by doing"!! Good luck and don't try and be a hero on SS1!

At last some pics from TSH Stages last month. Loads of problems, many of them plain unlucky (intercom failed, ECU played up, door catch broke, window regulator packed up, throttle cable snapped) before the gearbox let go. Still, the handling was fab and it was mega-fun to drive when it was going...
