June 21st and 22nd. For those shy owners out there that haven't met up with us we tend to camp just to the left of the exhibitors gate on the
right.

I have not had any confirmations from organisers, yet. It is on list of jobs for tomorrow, along with bill paying. So I do not know where display area
is at the mo. I will let all know as soon ( or just after ) I do.
Yes I do intend to be there, but not sure yet if traveling Friday night (Late) or (early) Saturday morn. This is due to my daughters Prom night being
on the Friday night, oh And that wonderful young TrevD has said he will provide transport for her to the Prom in his shining silver steed.

Well done Steve.
Now the athletic bit of hoop jumping begins. Good luck.
Look forward to seeing your car soon.

Just finished my first modification on the Viento.
71/2 inch 3.91 open diff replaced with 3.62 LSD 7 inch.
Just need to resort the speedo.
should give 0 - 60 mph in one gear - so reducing the time to 5 seconds or less
Looking forward to Newark.

I have same ratio diff (although 7 1/2)", 0-60 in 2nd is quite possible, and very quick!!!!!!!!!

I have a veypor 2 diplay fitted and it can act as a datat logger. My first few attempts at a 0 - 60 run averaged 6.9 seconds.
Then I replaced the restrictive air filter with a 3inch K&N - this reduced it to 6.3 seconds But the data graphs clearly show I was loosing over
1.3 seconds due to changing gear from 2nd to 3rd, and also suffering from wheel spin/ lack of tracction at the start.
I should now be able to hit 60 in second and gain the 1.3 seconds back - also hope to get better traction at the start.
Just need to test it out now on a DRY day .
Paul
ps - I also need a better sprk at high revs so will soon replace the cheep leads and fit a better amp.

Would av thought keeping traction even in moist conditions would be hard work, in any gear. Only driven mine once in the wet, and that was to the SVA,
and it proved very hard to keep the rear wheels for spinning.

1. I have 3.62LSD, 0-60 is under 5 seconds, and needs second gear. 1st is a waste of time!!
2. More importantly, Should be at Newark. Hope to go Friday PM,
Rusty.... Travel together?
Any other takers from the Cambridge Area for a Friday Convoy??
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

I had all the bedding in Bin Liners and it still got soaked.
I have the day off so may go fairly early in the afternoon and take my time. (If I can drive slowly enough )
