Outlaw Anglia - took it racing & lifted the wheels!

New flat green LED's arrived with correct holder fitting, fitted these to the rev counter & speedo and they work really well.
Not as bright in real life as in the photos so they wont dazzle me.



Also got the aluminium (replacement for the urethanes) bushes turned up today and fitted to brake pedal - fitted to car now with the proper grease so that's never going to be an issue again.



Also got some 60/75w Osram ultrabrights bulbs for better night vision headlamps - these are highly recommended as they last as long as OEM but are around 25-30% better for distance.

No problem, great to see the car in the flesh.

Really enjoyed the show, lots to see and a varied collection of cars, we were right down the bottom of the field, had 9 Coupes which was a good turnout for us.

Hi Seth, though that was you on my way in.

You wouldn't know you've done it now it's done, sign of a good job that.

Some more pretty bits made, steering wheel centre machined up to replace the plastic one - I need to machine the centre logo - it's just a printed autoCAD logo at present.



The shifter I bought s/hand and it never had a finisher for the centre so this was also machined up (with a quick printed centre again)



Which fits in here like this;



Another couple of little jobs completed.

Well I guess this is not what you want to find in the bottom of your axle casing





It's not going to be cheap to fix

That's an unpleasant thing to see after all that work.

Me too Paul, aparrently not!
This was a Curries LSD so I expected far more. Abuse which led to later spontanious failure. I did drive it for 250 miles like it though!!! At least it got me home.

Will need to look at upgrading it to higher spec I think.
Oh well, its only money

Had an interesting chat with Andy Robinson from Robinson Race Cars last night, put my mind at rest on a couple of points. Pozi diff is only good for around 300 hp so my current one was not strong enough. The other point was its completely normal for car to spin or donut the way I was trying to burn out, I've now been told how to do it properly, lol so at least I know nothing is set up incorrectly.

He thinks the the bearings & CROWN/pinion should be re-usable (hopefully) but agrees that the stronger Daytona housing pinion is a very good idea. (annoyingly the original pumpkin I sold had a Daytona housing but I did not realise).

He said 31 spline would be ideal but understood that I already had the 28 spline Strange shafts so it's a bit of a compromise - hindsight is a wonderful thing with the knowledge I have now I would have ordered the correct parts but at the time I did not know so just assumed a "Curries" diff was a top notch item.
