Okay

So it’s been a struggle but it’s all back together, completed a few events which have been hit and miss.

Follow my crash the first thing I change was the fuel tank, as it ripped open as we crashed and was spilling fuel not good.

Just have to remember to check the fuel levels, decided to replace the whole fuel system from MED.

Also change the position of the oil cooler

To cover the fuel filler hole I got an arcangels carbon Kevlar blanking plate along with a parcel shelf

New fire extinguishers fitted as well

Here are some pictures from the JIMF moonlight sprint and hillclimb

Then a few weeks back we had the l’etacq attack rally, and things did not go so well. Before the event I had a play with the hand brake and rear brakes and I must have just slight over adjusted the the rear brakes. On the first stage long uphill straight into a left 9 on the brakes and the back end locked up and it all got out of shape, held on and just clipped the front l/h arch and wheel which put the steering out ???? got back to service de-adjusted the rears much better.

Pulled the wheel off at a longer service could not see what was bent so we adjusted the tracking. But the cars handling was bad. At lunch I thought I would have another look, and I spotted the bottom arm rose joint.

Did not have a spare and I did not fancy it snapping so called it a day.

So I have gone over the rear brakes and the kad bias and made some adjustments ordered some parts and will get to work once they arrive.

So hopefully things will get better and I will stop poking.
