Just been on the travel lodge website, if you book now you can get a room for the night of the 1/9/9 for about £9 within a 15 mile radius. Which is not bad!
Unlike £75 at the thistle at brands hatch

NOOOOOOOOO!

Sorry to hear that dave!

[Dev]

Indeed. Just looking at engines now.

Upside, as always, are....

Leaky Box can be replaced (also for a better ratio)
Sticky valve wont be there anymore
I dont have to change the bastid water pump
I can source a 1.8 instead (funds allowing)


For this year, ill mostly be driving 400hp 6-cylinder Right wheel drive goodness.

I appreciate your kind words matt


I told you it'd work out. Expensive-ish.. but worth it.

Picked up a freelander 1.8k 41,000 miles @ £350 delivered.

MGF TF quick rack @ £42 delivered . brings it down from 3.6 to 2.8 turns lock to lock

Rover metro 1.1 R65 Gearbox @ £50 delivered. 3.5:1FD instead of 4.2:1FD... no more 70@4100rpm!!


So far its worked out nicely. Im still carless. but at this rate, she'll be ready again in the next week or so.
