General The beast lives

Ah ok, I guess once you've walked it things become a lot easier when you're in the car driving. Can imagine myself stuffing up and making a wrong turn though Top stuff.

It does happen. I had two WDs today, fortunately on different tests so I counted them as my dropped scores.

your handbreak works well then, lol. or is it all in the weight transfer technique?

That would be the hydraulic handbrake working on the rear discs, and my fat carcass moving around too.

AT is alot harder than it looks, so much concentration required to get the course right whilst driving fast!

Looks great David, is it complete or are you still tinkering?

Car all ready for the penultimate event of the championship on Sunday, and its cancelled thanks to the foot 'n' mouth.

That leaves one event in the championship to do, and I'm four points behind.

In reality the championship is over, bugger.

I seem to find myself in possession of a tax disc with the same registration number as rallycinq.

Wonder where that came from?

Sure you've probably posted this before but am I right in thinking your runninga hydrolic handbrake?

If so what is the setup that you used? and is it actually road legal?

Cheers

Yes, I have a hydraulic handbrake. My brake system is split front/rear not diagonally, so an additional master cylinder is fitted between the seats. My MOT tester is happy with the set up, so that will do me.

Hmm sounds interesting quite like this idea..

Would make some "rally stages" much more fun... although wont really help on the track i guess

Anyway enough of my useless thinking outloud

Superb for autotests, Ok on the stages, but the best bit is not the hydraulic handbrake, I've got an adjustable balance bar, with cockpit control.

That does sound very useful for what your doing but prob be a waste for me to do that although am tempted just for the vertical mounted rally style lever

Yes i'm a tart lol

Commuting in a rallycar.mmmm

I arrived at work after 3/4 of an hour of smooth straightish roads, and 5 frantic minutes of twisty stuff (the joys of working at the top of Loch Lomond).

An hour later I can just about hear again!!

Just trying to run the car so I can get more power at the next tuning sesh.

Cheers
