Phil C Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Finally finished and ready to go, apart from road testing. Last job was fitting the hood at the weekend and well pleased. 4 years hard work to be fully tested on the RBRR.......! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand GT6 gets the nod. So if you see someone at lands end trying to get in your car it'll be me in a daze 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you see someone at lands end trying to get in your car it'll be me in a daze 🥴 I’m sure your keys would work equally well in mine although I’m still undecided wether to swap to my gt6 as I’ve not had time to pull the gearbox so it might not be a problem anyway 🤣. If your running the original dizzy then you might want to pack plenty of rotor arms and maybe a cap as that caused me trouble on a couple of round Britain’s, swapped to a 123 tune to get rid of the problem now. One other tip, the heater control is pulled out for cold and in for hot, apologies if I’m stating the obvious but it took me a couple of years to work that out as seems round the wrong way 😵💫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 Floyd, let us know which car you are going to use, be good to see your GT6 with James' newly acquired doppelganger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, currently still taking the stag that I signed up with, a suspected head gasket was why I was thinking of changing to the gt6 but having used that on the last two I thought the stag deserved another run.

richard w Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 My 2 are both doing it. Jason Stanley and I will be in my mk1, recently back from some much needed bodywork, and pretty much ready now. Meanwhile Tim Ward and Andie Speak will be in Krusty Mustard, having an oil change now. This is a bit of a last minute change after the demise of his GT6's engine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttercup Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Update on Buttercup, as originally planned I fitted 3 additional gauges to our Spitfire 1500 and did an oil and filter change at the same time whilst fitting the sandwich plate to get two additional ports for oil pressure and temp. Next job is to replace the rubber hoses for silicone ones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
