    Yep, certainly wet!
    Better than last year at getting the races back on believe it or not.
    Lap at the end was good as there was a bit of a gap in front of me ;)
    Good to catch up with people, hopefully the weather will be better next time :)

    Leaving gaps was all part of the fun ;)

    Thought it was alright considering the weather!

To the 17 plate clio that gave me the mighty car mods chopped finger gesture after almost forcing me into oncoming traffic. It wasn't funny or clever. Not impressed.

When the woman at Shell tells you it's illegal to put oil into petrol - no love that's Castrol Valvemaster.. lol

    Ahaha yes, she genuinely confused me, pointed to my bottle so at first I thought she thought id filled a 250ml bottle up with petrol lol, but then valvemaster is orange, not clear like petrol. She clearly didnt have a clue aha, total BS. Deffo confused her when I mentioned that my valves are too big for unleaded seats.. haha

Will a rev counter from the 3 clock dash work with electronic ignition? E.g. a k series

    Cheers guys, hmmm thats strange, imo I would have thought one from a MPI would work on a k series as they are both full injection systems

    mpi uses a coil pack and sends a twin signal or summit like that, all other mini just a coil

    Good lad. I'm guessing you'll be doing a build thread to show us how it's done

    There will be a build thread but it will be a painfully slow one as time is not something I have a great deal of this year

Is it possible to get a new wiper seal retaining clip for 7.5" calipers? I attempted to fit one and it got bent :'(

    Yeah, but for 7.5" calipers and also just the metal cover. I suppose I'll have to buy a new kit... sigh.

    Sorry GRK5006 for 7.5 and I don't know anyone who sells just the metal press in piece.
