    Congrats on the PPC issue and also on surviving the hairy bearing incident!
    One day I'll start a build thread. One day...

    Cheers guys, was a close call! Big Man upstairs was looking down on me I think

    I put 2 new wheel bearings, drums etc on the rear last weekend so out on Saturday at Llandow, will try and return with 4 wheels attached. Fingers crossed...

    So fuel pump packed up (yep, thats the noise at the start and the really poor acceleration out of corners...) but other than that was a hoot.

    4 minutes in and it all got a bit lairy!

    Yeah definitely. Some work to do with handling now, and a new fuel pump. I quite like the oversteer though, but need to get it out on some larger tracks to see where we are with it.

    Which other tracks are you thinking of going on then, must admit this is a cracking car that's being used in the right way

    Well I was going to do the Summer Action Day at Castle Combe, but have booked a last minute holiday and fly out that day. I want to do another one this year, probably Combe again until I get the little niggles sorted and get it reliable.

    And yes - I built it to be driven hard! Shes no trailer-queen

    Ive recently started working for these guys so am away from home and can't dedicate much time to the car unfortunately

    Final niggles sorted and we had a great day at the start of the month. Car is way too stiff for damp conditions, but now it is (hopefully) reliable I can start playing around with spring rates, damper settings and the like
