Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

First one dropped out, wonder how many more will?

Im still looking dicey but i plan to be there!

Apparently one side floor pan, inner sill etc is all done, the rest should be done by friday.

Carbs going in the ultrasonic bath next tuesday for a good clean, hopefully get chance to change the crank this weekend.

Would love to borrow a car, be too afraid of breaking it!

Hopefully mine will be done and good for last place!

Whats the format? was thinking of just running sunday so ive got time to finish off on the campsite saturday!!!

Is it just constant running or is they qualifying and then heats?

I'm taking the friday off before to try and get mine finished...

I suppose I could book a RR session in the hope I can get there... then again I could just concentrate on getting it ready.

Im not RR'ing mine. thats been done when i get back. a bit backwards but i can get it fairly close, close enough not to melt anything i hope.

THere is no way ive got time to have it on the rollers aswell.

60mm Steel tube. Not as light as alloy, but easy to weld and very cheap!
