CORRECT ANSWER

thankyou ells

well i hope your all enjoying my thread on prep towards the 2010 season ..

there should be some more pictures of painting my ( ap racing ) calipers .. & also stripping the rear drums down to make sure there working correctley ..

then to follow some pictures of fittin the guages when i recive them ..

& hopefully when it has all been painted and stickerd by ( Graphix-Signs ) who made a brilliant job last time he did it.

i cant wait.. ! wat colour are you painting your calipers ?

red with abit of look :L going to go with the colour of the shell.
( good sarcasm ) there ACE but i like it dunt care what anyone else thinks haha!
i keep my oppinions to myself .. about everyone elses plans e.t.c
so if you dont have anything to say exept sarcasm comments then... id rather you didnt say anything at all

saves arguments, aggro .. bitching !! and handbags at the dawn!

Haha sorry dude.. but now you have just made it 500 times worse for yourself.. and if you aint happy about ,bitchin, arguments, handbags, sarcasm.. you may be better login on to w4rtononline..

ALL - please refer to "strap line" under the "Banner" at the top of this screen.

I guess you will not be fully "trimmed up" and painted by next Sunday Josh

Ell's

ps: What on earth were you and that posse doing just staring at a white Vauxhall in Warton village late Sunday afternoon

Yer i thought same as i left in me van would of offered a tow rope...trusty corsa as ever! Looked like you was changing induction kits over when i came past in't van.

haha, andrew fisher gave us a lift to warton, as we got into the village the pedal hit the floor meening only one thing ... clutch cable ..
all the barrow lads leaving the track stopped and made sure we was oki ..
probabley the " tustsy MOB " you saw me with haha ..
they had the power cap off e.t.c as its hard to scuffle around behind a 2 litre redtop in a corsa ...as there isnt much room between the block and the engine ..
& with the clutch cable beeing in such a Boll*ck of a place .. the power cap, induction pipe e.t.c all had to be removed

and nope, probabley will have all the bar work primerd & the shell e.t.c will still be blue & gold ..
me & dad have come to a decision on what colour to paint the mini
with abit of look will be sprayed & Signwritten by 4th of april

got to change carb over today, as the one ive got onit at the moment wont let me change fule mixture be changed for some reason so will have to re-build the carb,
i have also found a 998 cc mini .. the engine has done 25,000 genuine miles & has had a new gear box at 18,000 miles, got traded in on the scrappage scheme by a 92 year old women, for a new pugeot 205 or something ...

so think i may have to go collect that some time this week

Car was looking v.good on Sunday Josh. Reckon you have got a good chance this season

i cant see it janner, my tyers go off so early on, that on a full race distance ill be struggling, so need to get myself some slicks
im just going out this year to get used to the car & get it set up to corner how i want & get the brakes spot on, got a few tweeks to make
i.e
lift the front so the car sits about level, and raise the passanger side as it seems to be higher on the driver side for some reason,
also the passanger side front shocker needs stiffening as it was abit soft when i was coming into the bends.

but should be a good season, i wont make all the meetings because my dads working, so no doubt ill be there but without a car

Josh.

few more up-dates on the mini today,
we noticed on sunday that the front of the car was lower than the rear, so weve streightend it up.
we also have lifted the passanger side a few mm's & stiffened the front passanger side shox.

just desperatley need some slicks for the beast now
dad has also started to re-build the 4 pot metro vented disks aswell, and we tryed the brake servo on for size,
looks like im going to have to make a custom clutch breather so that there is enough room for the
servo, but that will be done for next year

Just to clear up confusion was 55 the original number on the car and 464 your old number or is the the other way round or was I watching the wrong mini

i bought the car off #55 dan whittingham about a year ago, but havnt got around to spraying the car, my race number is #464 as will be from the meetings i decide to bring it to ..
cant wait to get back on track should be a good year

well, ive eventually got myself some slick tyres, going to pick them up 1st thing tomorrow, taken the day off work
found myself a new car also ( for the road) just need to study the funds and see weather i can afford it ..

cant wait till the meeting after this sunday, as ill be racing for the 1st time, bit nervous but cant wait hahah

What car mate?
