Steve Robinson Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Not hassling you BB honest. But will all who registered for the championship be sent one automatically or do we need to do anything?? Cheers Steve PS - ACB10's and tillett now fitted! Why didn't we all talk and agree to go head to head on cheap tyres in class 3, as it seems all we have done is level the playing field at the cost of £400 each 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Steve I was only joking, yes all people that ticked Lydden will get an entry form for Lydden (it was something like 43 people). No expenditure for me on tyres this year but 2 nice new Carbon Tillets 😬 😬 😬 Graham Competition Secretary How many events for 2004??????

robmar Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Steve - I wonder who was the first to get compound 24 acb's in class 3 to start this escaltion in tyre wars 😬 gentlemens agreemens are fine if we are all gentlemen rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 So Rob, as the first to buy the ACB's are you going to re-imburse Adrian and I for our expenditure you so cruelly forced on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Jnr Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Gentlemen, if you want cheap tyres then there is always classes 1, 2 and 4 😬 but maybe you like having tyres that flatter the drivers 😳 😬 Ford: Engineered for life - built to rust!!

robmar Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 steve as shaggy once said it wasn't me but I think I know who was 😬 Kipper - it is a good point rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 So if it wasn't you Rob I think you should name names... I know Graham was on them as well last year, so is it all his fault. I ran the slow old CR500's (otherwise I would have been 2nd to Dave Mc obviously 😳) so at least my conscience is clear. Are we declaring engine outputs before we go into battle...

Silver 21 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 It wasn't me either, well not the first anyway!!, I think you'll find it was the guy who needed little help to win the class. My excuse in fitting them was to compensate for my weight disadvantage 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 If we are declaring Specs & Outputs, I've got nothing to hide: 1.7 Xflow, 234 Cam, RK Big Valve, approx 143bhp at flywheel, 5 speed box, Ital back end 😳 😳 6-21's on the front, 7-22's on the rear (A24 compound of course) Graham Competition Secretary How many events for 2004??????

robmar Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 hmmm - I thought it was you BB 😬 but obviously mistaken well I am running a standard 1.6KSS on standard tb, plenum and ecu but with a comp exhaust so I guess aroud 135bhp, otherwise standard caterham SL options. 7" acb10 24 compunds all round rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Oldfield Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 It could have been me ! Curborough, Aug 2002. 1800 xf 165bhp. over weight driver, no driving ability, and very poor health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hmmm, no driving ability eh Robin. Weren't you pushing Dave all the way at Curborough in August??? Afraid I can't declare an output (having suggested we all should 😳 ) as I don't know. It is a 1700 x-flow but whether it has been breathed on or not I have no idea. What should I look for as clues? 4 speed gearbox, live axle with 6-22's on the front and 7-22's on the back. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Steve I reckon you must have at least 160 bhp so no excuses this year about running the wrong tyres 😬 rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Steve, Carb's - DCOE 40's or 45's or 48's ? Exhaust, Side exit 4 into 1 ? What does it Rev to ? Those three things alone are a good guide with a crossflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Cheers Graham, not sure what it revs to as I haven't really tried 😳 Am nervous of pushing it too hard as I haven't found a rev limiter yet, how do I test without risking ruining the engine? 2nd numpty question, how do I tell the DCOE 40's from 45's and 48's? Rob, if I was guessing I reckon I have at least 80 bhp so you better look out 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Graham Perry: What would this suggest then? . 1700cc, twin 45s, 4:1 race exhaust, 7500rpm Steve Robinson: IIRC size is stamped on top of the carb, forgotton where but it's pretty obvious if you look. J351 TPE - Battered Old Chassis and some bits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Steve To test the engine, rev it round to 8,000rpm, if it goes bang it hasn't had any work done to it 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬. (only joking) IN all seriousness, most xflows are happy up to about 6 -6500 revs, I pushh mine to 7,000 although the powers trailing at that point, put in an all steel bottom end and forged pistons/rods etc ala Rob Grigsby and you should happily see 8,000rpm.

Bilbo Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hi Bacon Butty So how many places are on offer if we have 43 that wish to attend ? 'Can you hear me running' .........

Silver 21 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Bilbo Last year there were no problems getting a place, April 3rd is a bit early for a lot of people. We were by far the biggest class last year with something like 27 cars, I think the total entry at Lydden for a Saturday morning sprint is 80 - 90 cars Graham Competition Secretary How many events for 2004??????

Steve Robinson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Cheers for the mail Graham P. Will brave the freezing garage to see what I have a bit later! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 So spec is: DHLA 40 carbs, 1700 CC x-flow and 4 into 1 sports exhaust. What does that mean on power then??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Steve Sounds like standard 'Super Sprint' spec which puts it at around 135bhp Graham Competition Secretary How many events for 2004?????? (It looks like 9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
