    Hopefully I'll be able to achieve a higher start position than 9th with the new engine.

    nick have you tried to take the front indicators out and replace with ducting to front calipers? 95% of brake problems is due to over heating of pads.

    Hi John, I don't suffer from brake problems (AP 4 pots), Jezz (Toymex) has suffered from flexing/leaking Wilwoods on his racer.

    I raced it once with the CSCC modsports and special saloons at Brands, lacking time, budget and enthusiasm to do anymore this year.

    Glad to hear it Russ, I defected to the dark side and built a Vauxhall XE in search of more power than the old engine but actually preferred racing my car with the Crossflow fitted so it will soon be going back in...... Did your son recover from his fall in the end?
