It raises the block 140mm which make the overall height of the table 670mm.
Mighty Ford 7610! The machine in its day!
You're not the first to mistake it for an ironing board. It's actually a Go-Kart stand my dad make years ago, you can just about make out the OMP sticker on it.
There's...
To prevent scratching or scraping a wooden (or similar) floor, there were four rubber grommets inserted into the ends of the braces which are actually the anti vibration grommets which locate the radiator in place in a peugeot 106, the same car that the block came from....
First time on this forum in nearly a year! Fair bit off catching up to do. Have been keeping busy building a road car... http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/projects-restorations/724761-juniorrods-corsa-b.html
But i found the time earlier this year to throw together a coffee table from a 1500...
Watch the YouTube clip above and you'll see when it comes on. It came on during the exit of the corner. Which makes sense. The oil pressure does increase to around 85psi or 6bar at maximum when I rev the car to the max. At the minute I'm using 10w-40 semi synthetic. That oil was put in her after...
I haven't at the time being, but I'm investigating into baffling the sump, though it does seem like common sense considering I'm constantly turning right.
Oil Pressure Test/Distributor Change/New Tire on
After writing the last update i went out ti the shed and did an oil pressure check on the engine to see why the oil light was coming on. Fitted the gauge and left her idling for 15 minutes to warm up. Switched the fan on and then read the gauge...
18-04-14 Meeting Report/Clutch/Lower Engine Mount/New Car Revealed
Well i'm a tad late on it, but here's the meeting report. Dandered down to the racing on Friday night last. For the third meeting of this year. I went to the racing knowing fine well that the clutch may not last the night. When...
Thank you both for the great comments. I happened to watch the very same programme about a young boy who was racing a ministox car. Hats off to that wee fella, only 12 and racing away to his hearts content. The difference between him and myself is that he spends the majority of his time...
Haha well I can assure you, that if I had the option if racing a nova over this French car I can assure you I would be racing the vauxhall!! Love the old novas!!! I may have already posted about my dad rallying nova in his younger days...
If you like vauxhall? You may like the new car guess?
Meeting Report 04/04/14
After the practice evening i was feeling confident that we would be in good standing for the racing year ahead.
However, Friday nights meeting was not as expected. My dad was out that night so we both managed to persuade my mother to take me down to the racing...
Practice Night/Testing
In my previous post i told you that there was a practice day on the 29th of march at @2pm. Well that was moved forward to the 28th @6pm. The day before i got the tires onto the proper wheels and got sorted to go.
While the car was on the trailer i had a wee look in...
Suspension dilemma/Carburetor/Tappets checked/Ignition timing/Calipers repainted/Oil leak and heater plug in van
The front passenger suspension setting has been throwing me in every direction for the past few weeks. It boils down to the negative camber has decreased, and the caster angle has...
Thanks very much, nice to hear folk like yourself enjoy reading these scribbles. The car was repaired in just over a week which isn't bad i suppose, though i would have liked to have taken more time to assemble the car because that's always the fun bit. Nice that she's sitting in the garage...
Found out the results of the new years day meeting. Out of a total of 13 cars i finished 8th in the final. Which isn't to bad, considering it's my first time at the track, i hadn't driven the car since August and I was on a rather crap Kingpin tire at the front passenger. Also dad noticed last...
Well if i'm quite honest the suspension plan for the saxo is identical to the 106, just a bit lower.
Oh no, the color scheme for the saxo differs from the 106, but you'll have to stay tuned to find out ;)
By all means i would love to go back to aghadowey! the best track as far as i'm concerned...
Well I would like a few more meeting before April, yes. Though i'm afraid the promoter simply wouldn't listen:dontknow:. If you refer back to post #84 in this thread, there are four main tracks in N.I. My car is compatible to race at two of the four track(Ballymena + Nutts Corner). Aghadowey...
New Years Day Meeting Report/New Track/Steady Racing
Arrived at the track at 1:50pm and i ran about the place looking for the scrutineer, only to be told they weren't checking any cars today. So i went to race control and bought a license.
While i was doing that, my dad got the lend of a...
