If my car turns out half as good as yours i'll be well happy.

cheers everyone
i just need to find time to drive it now !!! , bit like my racecars that have sat here all year so far
but the customer always comes first
it was very lucky that i had to take an export order to hull for shipping so was able to combine a quick trip to beverly

well done mate you have any problems with them at beverley they can be really funny at times
never had a problem taken plenty of cars there now to know what they like and dont like
they are all top blokes and very fair, i think the whole sva process is a great idea from a safety side although there are one or two funny parts, i
would rather they went through the car as closely as they do ( because even i forget to do things after building all the turnkey cars we do ) so i
always look at it as being a fresh set of eyes to spot things
they where also very helpfull when i first started and took my first car giving me lots of help and advice for future visits
hopefully will get some good weather for the next few weeks, may even get to drive the car to harewood hillclimb next weekend where we have a stand

dont know about the fairness of it all but even if it were my numpty driving verses marc's I dont stand a chance, I have seen his logging data
fron the Clio's it was impresive stuff .
Point to point he'd win anyway as I would have to stop for fuel every 100 miles.
the 3.14 lsd thats been fitted this weekend should help - theoretical top speed 160 mph in 5th at 5000 rpm Scarry.
While i am on about diffs if you are unning lobro joints make sure you loctite the bolts through the lobro's I didnt and have just found that
most were no moer than hand tight

Hey Iain,
Good point about the Lobros! Lucky I'm push in...
You sourced a 3.14 then!? Pricey?
Just fitting my prop today... Might even be able to drive forward soon!
Chris.
P.S. I can certainly vouch for Marc's driving! Will be good once he's in the RGB. Would definitely give me the enthusiasm to go to the
meets to see how a well driven VortX will perform comparably.

Just as an update...
Split rear UJ and popped the shaft in from the front with the engine out and then reassembled in the tunnel. Took about an hour.
Slowly getting there! Can't wait to start thinking about SVA too...
Chris.

Yup
3.15 LSD fitted ( at considerable cost !!!) built by clasic conversions not so long ago
Initial results are promissing.
