Almost ready for Silverstone. Just some new tyres and a new wheel bearing to fit. Damaged wheel arch caused a deep cut to the tyre. Thanks to @ToyoTiresUK for the quick dispatch of some new rubber. @rnrmcrt@AFRaceChallenge#raceprep#rnrmmsa#royalnavymototsport
Brilliant opening round to the 2018 @AFRaceChallenge season. Qualified well and made a crack start in race 1 clearing a lot of cars in the higher up class. Race 2 was a more eventful! Still 2nd in class overall. @rnrmcrt@MaxCoatesRacing@NAVYfit@RNRMC @750MotorClub
@Mrwaterbiscuit Thanks Paul, you were in a different league though. Amazing consistency. Looking forward to Oulton Park already. @rnrmcrt@AFRaceChallenge @750MotorClub
Engine in and it works... some niggles though. Some idiot put the clutch plate on the wrong way round (yep me), the engine is hard to start although once running is fine, the coolant is being a bugger to bleed. All rectifiable.
The winter refresh is going well. The new SC engine might be in next weekend, roll cage is painted, new battery and wiring is coming on. Parts to fit though - LSD, lightweight flywheel and new clutch, vibra tech mounts, crank pulley.

With the season over the preparation for next year has started. Whilst I'm still looking for a suitable donor R53 at the right price I've started on some of the other bits. First up was tidying the rear wiring loom, removing the seam sealant and repainting. @rnrmcrt
