Tightened the fan belt and checked/adjusted valve clearances. Hopefully no more squeal when changing down and now no tickety noise when the engine has just started (from cold)

Entered a Nav Scatter. A great way to test the new suspension settings.

 

Brilliant fun, there is nothing better than giving it a good thrashing around the lanes.

 

And 4th out of 10 crews only 2 clues from winning.

 

Can't wait for the Mini Epynt Rally at the end of May although I may invest in some carbon metallic brake pads before then.

Quite a lot recently, I've been working on Lottie everyday after work since last Sunday. Basically got the old sub frame out (what was left of it due to so much rust!) on Sunday and spent an hour each day after work swapping parts over that were in good nick while waiting for new rubber springs and upgraded shocks to be delivered which according to the tracking, they're at home waiting for me. They were the only bits not salvageable. Also got HiLos which I bought a while back to fit on the rear end, finally! I've also got new brake lines to fit as I've been told you might as well swap them as they're inexpensive and easier to fit once its all out.

Passed the MOT on the RITZ :thumbsup: with only 5 minors, 4 being a bit of surface rust and all brake pipes covered in underseal, even though the fronts are pretty new and dirt free.

Replaced front brake pads the other day. Then today took Rupert out for a proper run after a terribly long winter in the driveway and only a startup now and then. He was sure happy to stretch his legs. Brakes still need some adjusting as they have a bit of a shudder.
