Default who's track cars are ready for croft then?

Mine arn't!
Thought the sierra was ready yesterday and even washed it! Then I found the nsf bottom suspension arm bent which was no doubt caused at croft last year by the hole in the ground at sunny out that I hit

so I removed the arm and then jacko off here who I share the unit with told me he had a cos 4x4 arb with new arms all poly bushed, so it would be rude not to fit them instead! just need 4 new arb mounting bolts then it should be done.
the 100E needs a new servo fitting and that hasn't arrived yet

shame martin, you would have liked croft, it's a track that really flows well specially round the back through jim clarks and barcroft..

Almost there,

New ECU is fitted and re-mapped, all belts and fluids have been changed, gauges are in and set up.

Things to do,

Discs, pads and hoses to fit
Tyres to be fitted to my track wheels
Rear seat to be removed for transportation of said tyres

Shall crack on with this over the weekend so should be in good shape come the beginning of next week
