Peugeot 205 preparation

I am currently using a 1360cc Peugeot 205 for PCT events and would like to raise the suspension around 50mm front and back. Can anyone offer some advice on how this could be achieved?

My second question is, Is there a preferred method for upgrading the differential? 

Thanks Nigel

FSAC Northern 19 Feb - Hotel room offered

Hi,

My riding buddy can't make the Northern now so his room at the Penrith Travelodge is up for grabs.

If anyone is still looking for accommodation for the Friday evening then let me know.

Cost is £45 including a "breakfast bag" - whatever that is...

All the best.

Proposed Forestry Sell-off

Some sites here that triallers may be interested in looking at regarding the proposed sale of some forests. The Northern and the VSCC's Lakeland Trial rely heavily on the usage of sections within the North Lakes and undoubtedly there are other trials which also use Forestry commission forests. Please support the campaign. Once access is lost or becomes possibly financially unviable we will not get them back, thats for sure. This could be one more of those coffin nails that look to be increasing these days!!!
