As a few of you know me and my neighbour will be running a SSS Pulsar in topgear events and hillclimbs etc.

Car was bought off MY105.com. At present it has the previous drivers designs (you can see it in the 'show me ur race machines' thread).

Who do we need to notify of any changes? Whats the procedure for having a numberr changed, or are they allocated? I know there are some things you need to keep eg tow point indicators, kill switch indicator etc.

We are looking at using the same colourrs (white car wtih red, blue and yellow livery) just updating it a little.

Any info would be great thanks!!

Im fairly sure for seasons, the numbers are allocated.

Well, thats for some clubs that do sprints with other clubs that are run with CAMS.

(My number from the SSCC was allocated to me)

If you are doing the CAMS hillclimb series etc, if you register at the start of the season they would issue you one, otherwise if its one hillclimb here, a sprint there, you just get a number on the day AFAIK

As for the series like Duncan races in - dunno, we'll wait for him to reply :rolleyes:

In this instance CAMS is your friend :P

Here's details on the required shtickers and placements:

Kill Switch/Tow Points etc are pretty straight forward- you put them where they are!

Race numbes are not issued by CAMS.

If you're running in a series (like Combined Tourers) the club organising the series issues numbers at the start of the season- you basically apply for the one you want and hope it's available. Sometimes the organisers reserve numbers (like 1- to give to the previous season's winner) but basically it's as straight forward as that.

As Chris has said, it works pretty much the same way with something like the Hillclimb championships though the rounds are run by individual clubs so you can sometimes have number conflicts. When this happens the trick is to add a '1' to your number e.g. 32 becomes 132 or 321- that way you don't have to change the permanant numbers on your car.

Changes to colour schemes are trickier. Officially, if your car is log booked, you need to notify CAMS when you make changes to colour/ design- not that I know anyone who has actually done this!

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
