First Proper Run

[AshG]

Hi Guys


took the car out today on its first proper all legal run. managed to do 80miles just going round friends houses etc. she run spot on and didnt miss a beat. the suspension was a bit hard to start off. i had it on 13clicks droped it down to 8 and it was instantly better, may click it up to 9 on the back but will see how it goes.

its so adictive im tempted to go out again in a min. fuel economy seems ok too, did 80miles and used less than half a tank.

its fun at the moment and very fast in the corners but i can tell that it wont be long before i want some more straight line power

Sounds good Ash, what location are you in? if your near Maidstone come out on one of our weekend ealry morning breakfast blats

Straightline speed is fun, but i find it a tad boring plus with no roof it's damn noisey!!!

the tank is 25L so not to bad. Its only a 1600pinto had it setup setup on a rr to get it spot on im guessing thats why its ok on fuel.

engine runs nicely at 88deg.

im in rochester and am allways up for a run out if the weather is good.

Fun isn't it ?! Read your article in kitcar magazine last weekend. Glad you got it on the road now. Have fun!!

How accurate is your gauge, mine seems to take ages to get to half a tank then a few miles later its in the red

It was wierd as Ben and I were driving up to the 4x4 show last Sunday and he was reading the article on your IVA test the penny dropped and we realised it was your car.

Given you suggested to me that I avoid Gillingham I was impressed with your deplomacy

80 miles on 12.5 litres of fuel is nearly 30 MPG....... good effort
