hovis16s rallye (pic heavy)

[hovis16]

Lots of fun stuff here! Whats the ride like with the rollerbearings? I remember bates got them in his astor 6 and the ride became super crashy. Ive got the adjustable drop links and the dust boots are always perishing on them.

The ride has been ok to me to be honest, the setup it pretty stiff so the only time it can feel a little lairy is on super uneven wet ground.

after the last trackday the 306 track lot planned another, this time an afternoon with Opentrack :no  Lets just say is wasn't the best track day resulting in 3 broken cars all of which were ours :lol Before this happened is was an ok day but Opentrack  is not a company I would try again.

As for the car the new arb and roller bearing upgrade made the first few laps interesting along with the semis





Had one good session with a Clio which was great fun chasing, As soon as I overtook him which filled me which great  pleasure the car decided to try and kill me :lol






Facing very expensive BMW's on paddock hill was a shooty bum moment :lol


I seemed to have lost all power as soon as I entered the hill which then resulted  in lift off over steer taking over. After limping back to the paddock after an hour of swapping sensor and carrying out test woody :love came to my rescue and diagnosed a back fire which I had completely missed.

The result of this was due to the inlet bung flying out:o  lucky for me once again Woody to the rescue as I had missed placed the bung.

With the engineered solution in place I limped it back to Reading and with the help of my assistant found the  bung:lol




With that back in place I gave the car a good look other and noted some noise along with lumpy running which seem to be cambelt slap lucky for me no damage was done apart from a water leak.

this was replaced along with the belt

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

That sorted I took it easy fora few thousand miles until Pufgest was due :love  I did have a mishap two week prior which resluted in my powersteering pipe dumping all it guts done my street :thumbsdown  was great trying to fix but I did and had lot of fun up presscot:love





So before Pugfest I managed to get hold of another set of Hispecs and this time the stayed :lol


Over all condition was great but first thing I did was take them apart :lol


With those sorted I ordered new pads and disc all round
