[conaero]

Cheers JP, downloading it now

 

[lozcb]

Yeah spot on Andy

Bah, the wrappers won't wrap my car now. Too many sicknesses and holidays and they don't have time. Maybe I'll cheer myself up with a GS rear bumper and some sideskirts

Car at Emblem, I may have actual gears to use at Le Mans now...

 

[conaero]

Lewis, whats up with your gears, new clutch?

 

[Andyk]

Thought you had the GS bits already Lewis....I take it it was just the front.

Fingers crossed Marcos!

[Parisien]

I see the forecast for the Le mans region is going downhill.......must bring some extra layers..........

Lewis, whats up with your gears, new clutch?

Linkage adjustment i reckon , one must remember with the manuals its crucial to keep on top of the linkage adjustment, otherwise it gets notchy from 1st to 2nd especially when cold

regards loz

 

[Parisien]

Off to the land of nod........3.30am start..........hopefully someone will bring a laptop to Le mans so a few of us can do some posting!!!


Nite peopel!

Yep, the weekend of the race is looking fine, but looks like we will be sailing down there:

My car has done 68k which is possibly the leggiest manual. Weve got to a point now where the linkage can't be adjusted anymore as it just goes straight back into graunchiness so I'm having all the linkage done, cables and ends. 2nd is very hard to get into now and at high revs from second to third... well that doesn't work either. Hopefully this will cure the problem. If not, then the synchros have gone on 2nd/3rd and I need a new gearbox, but not by Thursday! Car is still driveable with the box as is, but a lot of the pleasure is taken away.

AndyK - yes, just GS front bumper, couldn't source a rear in time for the Modena trip. It will all come later now the car is staying for the foreseeable future.

Biggest problem now is a cracked oil pipe which miraculously happened on my drive to Emblem! A few more miles or an extra trip somewhere else and the car would have either been on fire or had an empty engine, neither are good thoughts. The guys lifted the car to find it covered in oil and the part is not showing as available in the UK. Race against time now as I'm supposed to be in a tunnel on Friday afternoon...

It's with the experts and they've never let me down yet so fingers/toes/eyes crossed! If not, I will be in the Aston. There are worse things in life

What's everyone taking, Masers all?

 

[conaero]

Yep, all Masser Lewis, David, a guy coming with me, is bringing a Corvette C6, so it will be nice to offload the cornering jokes at him.
