Bit off topic sorry, but reading Skinners thread those last days reminded me how this club/forum contains now so much tech experts sharing their knowledge and so many awesome build threads... Inspiring. And motivating me lot to build something serious.
Thank you everybody ! You know who you are !

Hi Folks
Well after 3 days the car behaved herself. Incidents on all 3 days meant timed runs were short but I managed to pull off my first ever class win 1348cc winning out in the up to 2000cc class. A close fight with a 205 rallye kept me honest!

Should have been a lot quicker but its a new course to me so I took it cautious.
Needed a downshift to 3rd on the climb!

Mocking up for throttle bodies tonight.
Micra top feed rail and injectors fit nicely and sit at the original Suzuki injector height. O rings have a good seal , will be held in place by a longer version of the factory mounts

Shifter in for a test fit. Play in the system is due to finger tight bolts and nuts. Whole unit is 1 1/2 closer to me which is spot in. Excuse the g clamps etc
OP
OP
lookin good paul
you could fit a damper block like the stock ones have eh
Cheers Frank. I won't know until it's driven under load but il have my fingers crossed.
As you say I could introduce a bush in there somewhere to take the vibration or movement out
Inbetween the bar in the middle prehaps

as long as the engine does,nt move you may just need some counterweight/damper at the bottom of the stick paul ?

Went for a collar instead of a clamp in the end I see?
I did on the top bud once had used the clamp to set the height of the pivot that felt best
but I think il put the clamp on too as a belts and braces! Thanks again for sorting them mate
OP
OP
There's always next time bud, it was just what I had to hand in the parts tubs to be honestNot a problem, would have suggested and made collars if I'd known what you were planning
