Although they say the chassis is a Hocking, I've been informed by some knowledgable locals that its a March 87B which was modified by Hocking in 1992.

I've only got slicks for it atm and its raining :D I wanna get it to Wakefield... SOON!!

Michelle has bought a Transformer!

Does it have a Transformer name or are you going to leave that up to your trusted SAU colleagues?

Well done, these things are a joy to work on in terms of accessability. Takes half the time or less to do everything ie change pads, springs, wheels, dampers, alignment. You might still go temporarily mad trying to get it right...but it'll take less time.

Now i will have someone to run against in the Openwheeler class at the hill climb, YaY :P

Will you be taking it to the next hill climb? If so i will take mine out.

BTW Congrats (got alittle ahead of myself)

I hope to run it at the hillclimb if its high enough and not too noisy. Its only 40mm from the ground. I also have some fittings/modifications to pedals/seating so I can reach the pedals and support/lift my feet (block maybe?) and I need a new harness because the one thats in it has expired. But if its ready in time, then I would like to take it.

What open wheeler are you running?

I might be going to wakefield this weekend in it aswell, but its sounds like yours is a little way off.

Its a 1963 renmax.

Its my oldmans but he upgraded and left it for me :)

I plan to buy it in the next few years if he will let me. He loves the car to bits.

Its only a little sucker with no wings, about 4 years to early (which i love) with a 1L cosworth in it.

Have you run it at the Hillclimb before? I don't remember seeing you out there, if you have, apologies if I didn't recognise you... when did you run out there last?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
