Update needed I think!

Managed to get through the logbooking process unscathed (just damage to my wallet). Thanks to Dai for sending me the engine mounts at short notice!

Had a great blast on the North West Stages at the weekend. 51st overall and 7th in class. Not awful for my first stage rally :) Nice and slippy in places which suited the 340. On the long straight stuff, she struggled being a 1.4. More reason to speed up my 2.0L rebuild!

Came away relatively unscathed. Cracked the little engine subframe that 1.4s have (again). Bent the bigger one too because I had my sump guard attached to it! (See my post in Wanted section!). Other than that, got a list as big as my arm for improvements! :lol:

Anyway, on to the good bits. Some videos you might enjoy:

Pushing hard! Or as hard as she will go anyway :lol:
