I'm having a go at my first one on 8th July.

Good luck to you and Chelsea on that one!

[samsfern]

Yes, again

Seriously need to find a stronger gearbox, trying to find out how straight forward it is to convert to an 1800/2.0d pg1 gearbox.

[samsfern]

Looks like ill have to stick with r65 boxes, if i want to rally it, apparently the regs wont allow gearbox changes like that. Oh joy!

[The_Mistro]

have you done anything to the brakes? if your interested i have 2 front calipers with carriers from a ZR 160 in the garage?

[stretters]

It sounds like you could do with a chat with the guys at the Rover Centre St Albans, they may be able to help!

[samsfern]

Yes, i think i might take a trip up to them thanks.

After my attempted modification of the standard rover clocks last week, went badly wrong, lol. I had no choice but to get a complete new clock set found a set of mg zr clocks at the scrapyard, which i think and am told look a damn site better than the boring standard black and white rover ones. These ones go up to 150 mph too

Fancied a change inside, so painted some trim, and changed the manky old gear stick gator thing

Colour coded the exterior door handles today, and i might have spent some more money on go faster bits

This photo is from Oct 2010 when I navved at the CMC Gymkhana at RAF Woodbridge, first time being competitive in the spectator seat! lol



I believe we came 7th Overall and 3rd in class (>1400 Enduro), which I didn't think was bad for my first time on the maps....

[minispaniard]

I was marshaling at the latest CMC gymkhana at Woodbridge and it was awesome, closest you can get to stage rallying without all the gear and at only around 40 quid a go... no marshaling at the next one as I shall be competing
