Steve Robinson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 So I'll add new carbs to the upgraded suspension as next jobs during the season to get quicker then. Only a month to go now to Lydden, can't wait 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrigsby Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hmm guess I should admit to what I'm running, RK 1800 Xflow, all steel on DCOE 45's with a modified 264 cam. Probably somewhere around 180-185 BHP and if I get around to buying them I'll be running 7" front and 8/9" rear A24 ACB10's 😬 Oh and yes it revs to 8500rpm and now has a 6 speed gearbox!

Steve Robinson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Yikes Which events you at Rob? And are you still in class 3??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 eek indeed think he intends to do most, looks like the rest of us will be battling for the minor placings this year 😬 and just to think people want to restrict us lowly k boys to 135 bhp ☹️ rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 eek doesn't begin to describe how fast Mr Grigsby will be this year. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 he was 5.5s faster than Dave Mc at Lydden last year here ok local knowledge counts for something but 5.5s I think he was also 3rd fastest overall, which is not bad for a class3 car rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I think we should have Class 3a, specifically for 1800 Xflows driven by people called Rob, that way the rest of us may have a fighting chance!! However from what I've heard I think Dave Mc's car will be upgraded after its steeple chase incident so perhaps it will be Rob & Dave and the rest of us a good few seconds back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Should we be starting a campaign to get all highly modified x-flows (or just Rob G and Dave McFarlane 😬 ) into class 5? We do need something else to debate all year now that 1.8 k's are in class 3. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Robinson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Blimey, you pop out for an hour and the handbags are out 😬 How about x-flows in the first four places then Graham. Obviously it means I drop you from 3rd to 4th, but I'm sure you can cope Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver 21 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 No Steve, me in 3rd, you in 4th but that puts Mr Margel back in 5th, perhaps he should buy a xflow, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hmmm, Think I will stay in Class 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Sounds like a good idea Graham. Think I might put the wets on and join you. Class 3 looks all a bit macho and competitive for me now 😳 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
