    Harvey you do know that the MSA Blue Book has rules against bias adjusters you can reach from the drives seat for certain classes if your planning to sprint the car??

      The car is not being built for any race events, it's being built as my toy. I was going to get an inline bias adjuster for the rear and run a single line from the ABS m/c and then T it off but I always wanted a none servo assisted pedal box and got this one at a really good price. Thanks for the advice anyway Kenny.

        if your building the car to such a high spec you might aswell do some sprins and hill climbs in it, they are a lot of fun and dont cost that much, i have done 2 sprints at dunkeswell go-kart track in devon in my girlfriends dads mk1 escort rs2000 and thats what i am planning on doing in the astra. liscence costs £33 a year and you get the blue book that weekenny is on about, it has all the regulations in etc.

            and you will have the same problem as me because we are turbo'd we go up a class and because its striped out we go into mod salon class

            not a problem get to run slicks etc etc and be in the 2.6 and above

            and this is what i am planing to do only problem is that class in the south west has NO one in there is only a couple of cars that sometimes run but not very often so there woyuld be no competition

                      Thanx OP, I spoke to Neil yesterday and have arranged for pickup at the meet this Sunday.

                      For everyone else keep your eyes peeled on my diary as I'll be posting up pics of a few new additions I'm getting at the weekend. They were to good to miss out on but it's put the build back a few months.

                            Still got the full strip and build on the engine and the purchase of a Quaife ATB, no more money for these at the moment, oh well...better go and plant a few more money trees at the bottom of the garden.
