Thanks for your comments:)

So all of the stickers have been applied, serivce set up, noise test and scrutineering all passed:)

When I got home I noticed that the rear exhaust hanger was looking very low! And yes I had caught the exhaust pushed it back and broke both of the cotton reel exhaust mounts lol so work to do even before the event has started.

Cheers

How the hell did you do that?

Cracking job... There goes the fun for a while.....

Well I have figured how this happened! And what makes it worse it was my ******* up!!!!!

I left the frigging dizzy shaft in place when I installed the blanking plug for the megajolt system. So it shifted from its correct position into the gearbox and then out the casing:(

I'm sure I'm not the first and won't be the last. At least I have another gearbox:)

So let the rebuild commence.

Did you actually manage to do any of the rally, or did it let go before the start?

We completed 18 stages. We did all of the Friday evening and night stages and 4 stages Saturday morning and then we holed the gearbox on the end of stage 18. On the stage before a wire snapped to the coil and we only had 2 cylinders, so we had to do an on stage repair:)

It was great while it lasted, and was getting into the swing of things, but hey ho.

Bigger and better for next year, at least the rest of the car is ok.

Cheers

I'm glad you at least got some stages in - it was always my worst nightmare when rallying that something would break before we actually started!

 

Great piccies!! I so like the colour of your car, I'm seriously thinking suggesting to my son that we respray the Clubbie next year - so much more distinctive than boring old red...!!
