Re: Hill Climbing

What a different day from the hillclimb in Sep 14. It was very slippery, and it was raining in the afternoon for the race runs which made for some interesting driving - don't think I've concentrated so hard driving before in my life. At least I could finally join in some conversations with the big ...

Re: Suspension Set-ups

Have fitted the poly bushes and bump stops, and set the alignment up such that there is the required toe-out, rather that the toe-in, and after the first drive have fallen in love again with the Midas. :D
Must admit that it’s been a bit of a job to do with many skinned knuckle and my language ...

Re: Hill Climbing

Saturday 25 Apr 15 at Wiscombe Park is looking interesting as I'm the only front-wheel drive car with 3 Sylva Strikers and a Westfielfd SE for competition in class.

Re: Suspension Set-ups

Cheers Guys. I've already bought some Powerflex poly bushes for the front to this weekend, so glad to hear that will be a positive start. Will also buy some poly bump stops too, as maybe that is a part of the knocking noise, though it does seem to come more from the rear. The rear is a coil-over set ...

Suspension Set-ups

I'm looking into experimenting with suspension set-ups for racing my Midas Gold and am interested in any advice and experience others may have, and will be sharing my findings as I go along. My car is a Gold Coupe on what looks pretty standard Metro hydro front end, and Metro rear with coil-overs ...

Re: Race your Midas

Sounds interesting, though know I'll be at least a year or 2 away from joining in something like this. I’m very keen to follow how making and fitting the roll-cage will be achieved as this is on my list of things to do (someday).

I’m entered into the Sat 25 Apr 15 hillclimb at Wiscombe Park, and my ...

Re: Hill Climbing

Re: Hill Climbing

I wish it was and then I'd have found something to fix. Wish I had cable clutch.
