What do I do now?

Having just secured at a vey reasonable cost, a 205 GTX 1400cc, I wish to tap into the wealth of experiance within the group. In an attempt at the forthcoming Northern Trial.

Raising the rear end of the wee pug should be "relatively" simple. however can anyone provide a simple solution for the front end, ie. standard springs +2" if such a thing exists??

Sump and tank guards have been aquired, any other protection required?

The wheels are currently 14" , can any one advise on the most suitable tyre for this event/ car?

 

Think most other items have been thought through, but any assistance greatfully recieved.

Event Number placement

I didn't realise how important this is until the night shift at Waterloo.

 

We were up on the top bends and it was quiet difficultt to spot where the competitors had placed their numbers to mark my card. I was mindful that i didn't want to shine a bright light onto the mirrors to blind the driver.

 

A reflective number would be too expensive for the MCC but maybe a reflective red tape around the holder would be a good idea. Red as it faces to rear.

 

Bikes were much better even some were lit (!!) and others even called their number out when passing - really helpful lads!!

 

I wonder if Tim will put a restart between those bends next year. Nice addition for the reds!!

Stupid question?

Does anyone know of a source for the stick-on numbers that we're all supposed to have in the middle of our coloured 'class' discs? The old advice used to be to use the numbers used for motorcycle registration plates but, of course, no one produces plates this way any more, at least they don't seem to in Gloucestershire. Any ideas?
