Wow at the front and rear arb bits. They look mega. that rear set up is a hell of a bit of kit.
Shows me better how the bladed arbs work...

Nice bit of kit, Craig linked me to the WIP so enjoyed reading that, interesting stuff on the shaft CVs etc.

Your Astra doesn't go too bad either Craig

To keep on track, I'm booked onto Donington 20th April with Harvey in his mk2 Astra if any one would like to join us.

Have you thought of racing the Astra in tintops I reckon it would do well tbh,I really must get mine back together and come and have a play

Yes it was supposed to be on the cards this year. Really must get on and do my ARDS as it looks like a lot of fun. I couldnt do a whole championship, but would look at the CSCC / QMN tintops and MSV trackday trophy. From what i have watched i think that yes it could be competetive.

It goes faster than that when the camera's not on, just sods law.

Me and a friend are doing Castle Combe this weekend (Sat 7th), Its an ERGEN MOTORSPORT BMW day, with places left if anyone fancies it. Should be fun.

Will see how Llandow goes with the new engine next month. If she holds up well I might consider joining you on this one.

Sounds good will be my first outing with the new carbs etc

Bedford Yesterday on the SEN circuit. Managed a 1:50 when it dried out and had an epic encounter with Ben Speechley in his Red 1600 Nova that some of you will know of. I made a few changes to the car which really paid off, and went with a different tyre which proved to be a superb choice

A short low quality video below, as I'm unable to edit the mammoth HD original after leaving the camera running.

A few things, that track looks amazing. Huge straight you can clearly get some mega speed on..
Bugger me are you smashing it and getting some fantastic speeds.
Car really looks like its handling great and cornering very fast with lots of grip.

Love it.

Thanks Ben, that was what they call the SEN circuit and not the quickest, just the best on film. Only me and 2 other people witnessed the fastest lap.

Castle Combe tomorrow which looks like a dry day. Looking to go round in 1:16 on Dunlop Semi's. Camera is charged with a big card in so should get a bit of footage.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

damn craig.... your cars rapido!

i'd be pappin my knickers driving that

[8valve-craig]

It does go well. Yesterday was superb at Combe. 3/4 of the track has been re-surfaced and it was a nice sunny day. Some real talent out there too which is unusual.

A short video here of one of my quicker laps @ 1:17. Not sure how the quality comes out for everyone else, but the original is crystal clear here so may have to have a play with the settings.

Lol @ those Reebok Classics going at ten to the dozen on the pedals - Top work
