I'm at a bit of a cross roads now with the Flying Banana. I either sell it now, or continue its development into a true hillclimb car.
The current spec is as follows (all traceable on the build thread):
Body: Skoda S100, imported last April by me and registered as 1972 on a K plate, so Tax free. Body is very good rot wise, the odd blemish (it wears its small dents and blemishes with pride!) but any rot cut out and fixed with good steel (nothing patched over). Very solid car and fitted with a S110r chin spoiler. With a respray it would look immaculate.
Engine: Currently fitted with a good 130 engine. New big end shells and piston rings. Running a gas flowed and ported head, Kent (crossflow profile) fast road cam and breathing through a Dellorto DHLA 40 carburettor and a LCB tubular exhaust, exiting from a stainless steel silencer, not excessively noisy. The carb performs very well. Ignition is done with a modified distributor fitted with a points replacment system. Not an extreme state of tune by any means. Car very driveable off cam, you can put your foot down in top from 2000rpm and it will happily pull to about 6000 rpm. No strange noises, no smoke, no overheating (sat in the queue's waiting for the sprints, many cars struggled with temperature. the 100's gauge never crossed 80 degrees).Just runs and starts very well. New 190mm genuine Skoda clutch plate. Not had it on a rolling road, but my
Dyno and IoM performance reckons about a good 85 bhp.
Running gear: Rolls on 15" x 5.5" Empi Alloys with very good 195/50 - 15 Toyo Proxy tyres (eligable for sprints and hillclimbs). Front discs and all brake hoses replaced last year. Runs the standard 4.44/1 4 speed transaxle so is very low geared - 60mph is about 4000rpm. New dampers all round (metro fronts, Skoda rear) and with spax front springs.
Interior: Pretty standard, with the exception of MG ZR front seats (very comfortable) and a dash mounted rev counter. The rear seats are in good condition and covered in a black vinyl type material. The interior is nice and clean. It has a Skoda Sport mountney steering wheel, and the S110r sport gear lever. Speedo shows 23000 km (could be 23k, 123k, 223k! who knows!!).
All in all it's quite a useable car. We did about 280 miles last week (drove from here to the port, 3 days racing with a bit of ticky touring around). It starts readily first time and behaves in traffic. The steering box and wide sticky tyres mean its heavy at parking speeds, but once rolling its fine. It isnt a quiet car with the combination of driven fan, Dellorto carb and fruity silencer, and is a bit boomy around 3000rpm. In competition mode, it sat with Snotty very well and evenly on the less bumpy circuits.
As it stands, I'm thinking around £1250 firm. Its taxed and tested until April 2016.
If there is no interest, I will either keep it or drive it back to Czech and sell it there.
