Hi all.
Not sure if anyone has posted this, I couldn't find it on here and thought you might like to see a ratty old 2cv with a bent chassis kicking a few butts at Mallory Park on a track day.
(apologies if its up already)

I aim to please.
Unfortunately i was suffering with clutch slip, i now know you can't use an LUK clutch on this conversion, the cover plate isn't strong enough. Still, car seemed to go down well and got with in a second of the class record, not bad for a road going shed that I take the kits to school in. Fit a Quaife diff and make it a bit stiffer and I think we'd be quite near that record. The best time i recorded was a 55.51.
Ru is making a video of the hill climb, anyone want to see it?
Cheers
Pete

Nah, I'm not fussed.




By the way, I ordered some bits off my laser people last week, an 'n', 'e', 's' and a 'w'. You *might* have a surprise a Snetterton.

My best time was 135 seconds but that was in my Dyane in the lunch time cavalcade :lol: Was your front anti roll bar meant to be disconnected on one side?

Thanks for the support mate.

Is it one I'll like? I never quite know with you.
Being stupid it took me a while to work out what the letters were for, I was thinking, that bastard Geoff Archer, he doing his NES one first. I understand now. I will be honoured....

Yep. I took it off to try and stop the wheelspin in the tight corners, I never normally run one but the springs are a tad soft for doing competition stuff and as its primarily a road car the ARB is a compremise. Taking it off didn't help much but it was worth a try.
