Ellis Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi all,I know when we did the RBRR for the first time in 2002, we thought long and hard about what we should take... this ended up being an enjoyable evening down the pub. We then realised we weren't taking an articulated lorry and came up with a slightly shorter list. ::)I thought it may be helpful to share this with some of the first timers, if to do nothing else than get everyone thinking about how you're gonna get it all in the boot etc. :-/Anyway, I hope the attached spreadsheet may be of help !!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Definitely some missing bits from that list, Nutter, such as a spare engine! (should probably make that 6 pot!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 That was the reason for the tow rope... we was thinking of utilising the tow bar and dragging round my other TR7 or the Spitfire, but reverting back to the original 8v engine seemed a more economical route. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Ear plugs...2 uses... for trying to sleep... and when your co-driver gets too much :DE-bay seems very cheap!http://search.ebay.co.uk/ear-plugs_W0QQsoloctogZ9If someone else wants some then I'll buy a pack... perhaps give them out to all the teams at the start? You can buy about 50 pairs for £2.50!James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Why do you need earplugs ??)Just driven my TR7 on a short test run having finally got the 5 speed gearbox and axle in - so quiet after the 4 speed diff which threw oil out and made one hell of a row. ;)And 5 speeds - just like when I put overdrive in the Vitesse - just transforms the car!Ellis - shall I speak to S&S again about a spares package? ??)

James Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I need ear plugs because I can't get to sleep without it being deadly quiet and dark... and I don't plan on being awake for 48 hours... or am I just being niave?I never sleep on planes... errrr... why am I doing this RBRR again?Congrats on getting that 5 speed in! I had the same experience at Easter when I put my OD in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 When it gets to the Saturday night/Sunday morning you'll be able to sleep no problem! ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Absolutely... 3am Sunday morning you could have a pneumatic drill 6 inches from your head and I guarantee you'll be sleeping like a baby !!Spares package sounds good Mr Raider... so the 5 speeder was definately a good move then. Having trouble getting mine started. I think the timing is still out, but hard to say as I've put an electronic ignition on. Getting a good spark and fuel is getting through, so I may convert back to see if it's something to do with the leccy setup. More problems... I don't know !!! ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Line it up on TDC see where the chopper is should have just triggered the sensor and the rotor arm should be pointing at No1,you can only get it 180 dgrees out,have you taken the shunt resistor out of the circiut?

Tim Bancroft Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Raider, Why not print your list and mail to me and i'll dish out the list on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Thanks Tim but there's only 5 of us in the event and it's all basic "breakdown" stuff.BTW, I have just been lashing up some brackets for the Cibies - I just might get them on in time :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Sounds good to me. In addition to my standard 'handy items' and a few V8 spares we should be laughing ;DMalcolm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
