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