Re: my 2 ltr hotrod, swaffham spec.
next race is the 23rd mate but not sure if ill make it what with the axle bein in pieces and the serious lack of funds, missus soon 2 drop
and the lack of motivation again and its last race of the season so may break it down ova winter do abitta strengthening and a diet, would love 2 loose all the rear end all together sierra axle is so heavy id like 2 change 2 a escort type axle all nicely linked up., wanna sort the tunnel out now im sticking with this engine may go 4 a 4 speed. rewire, new panels and a nice fancy paint job

Re: my 2 ltr hotrod, swaffham spec.
ta fella,. all on a mega budget tho, mainly dreaming but i believe even not doin nothing 2 the car once the axle and diff are back in place shes a proper competative car, the great thing about the formula im in is that you dont need mega dou 2 be at the front, theres a few full national spec spame framed cars out there with arestricted engine and then you got a battered mk3 astra with a 2litre 8v with a fast road cam and twin 45s pissing over ex shp pug 206s and pumas, its a bit of a mission 4 us with a trailer about 2an half hours either way but 2 find a descent hot rod formula nearer home ie arena essex or foxhall stadium, there 2ltr hot rods are a ten grand + budget 4 the car only, i originally built mine with the 1.6 efi zetec lump to race on dirt mustta cost me not even 800. my tyres now have lasted a full year and cost me 99p 4 the 8 inch rears (love divs on ebay that cant spell) and £5 for both the fronts, spare rear cost me nowt as some old dear was gunna use it as a plant pot, spent about £180 2 put this engine in and get it running bearing in mind £100 of that was 4 the ignition alone, 50 4 the esc pack 50 on getting the pulley 2 a trigger wheel, in total i guess it stands me in about £2500, cant be bad i guess considering i know of a guy building a full space framed mk6 festa 2 race with us with a full race 1850 xflow lump and hes spent easily 12000 on it so far, but hell be restricted 2 using a twin choke carb and standard exhaust manifold, so really it a waste imo,.and i gotta finish the boys race car aswell, damn kids. damn another 1 again soon,

Re: my 2 ltr hotrod, swaffham spec.
give the new born the mini moto powered go cart
or better yet, buy the mini i have for sale ,
if the mini dont sell i might put one of my pintos in it with reliant rear axle, so i might be your new competition next year maybe

Re: my 2 ltr hotrod, swaffham spec.
sum pics of 2days events 1stly starting of with a garage looking like this.
soon got all that bashed and sorted, placed the new bumper on the front 4 a pic nice fit considering its 4 a corsa
then i attacked the car and removed the axle and had a mare getting the fire wall out,
and a pic of the fiesta bracket that held the axle on
im still not sure weather i wanna use this axle again, need 2 find out how cheap i can get an escort type axle i no it will make all the differance its just a dollar thing, not unless any 1 wants 2 donate an axle in retirn of advertising space????
and after 3 hours strate tidying soon got this
now im gunna chill and wait 4 a big phat steak 2 land on me plate,

Re: my 2 ltr hotrod, swaffham spec.
i believe it was rump steak with 2 eggs fried mushrooms peas and a bita belly pork, and now im struggaling 2 move, boot floor going 4 less weight, am looking at the idea off 3 link but then if i ditch the floor how do i mount the panard rod??? after removing the axle i couldnt belive how heavy its is. along with the weight of the floor id like 2 loose 50 kilos at the rear so thats y im thinking 3 link/4 so with the 4spd thats coming and the look out 4 a cheapish axle with a 3.8 diff and a lite arse i should get a nice launch,. 38dgas wasnt part of the plan but at that price i cant loose even if i dont use it and either sell it or leave it on da shelf,
