Lanes/Targa Rallies

[PeteMoore]

Entry in for INTBD. Been Queens lanes since i've been out, so can't wait!

Jeez, when you are finished with blowing the cobwebs off, can I borrow the duster please.

I know we have at least one car out on Boxing Day, wee white car won't be though, still at paint

 

[RComms]

Technically, i wouldn't exactly say i'm 'ready' for it as such... but i'm entered! Since we drove to Wales... did Powys Lanes and then drove home again, i haven't looked at it! I think i just entered intbd to give myself a kick up the hole!

Maybe thats what I need to do, my MOT expires before the INTBDR and I have zero motivation to do anything about getting it through. Its inevitable that they'll fail it on the handbrake anyway

1.4 16v vauxhall tigra forsale has done one lanes rally ready for more call or txt 07592343355 thanks

 

[KevM]

Iv a boot full of wheels & tyres in today to swap round in prep for MOT on Saturday, so I might get out for a hoke if the friendly MOT man say yes....

 

[peespeed]

Entries for the It's Not The Boxing Day Rally have hit the 90 mark as of last night

 

[mike150]

When do entries close?

Our car might be ready by Saturday and I would rather enter when it is rather than live in hope!

 

[KevM]

Entries are seeded tomorrow but won't close at that point. I'm in the same boat!!

 

[peespeed]

Entries currently at 99, entries will be accepted up to night before event or when max number of entries is received.

 

[peespeed]

Update.....entries at 101 now, so might be safer to get the entry sent in sooner rather than later

 

[RComms]

That's mad. It's not so many years ago that the boxing day was struggling to get into double figures!

 

[RallyCiaran]

@swansty have you had any confirmation that our entry was received.

 

[mike150]

We just entered!

Car still in several bits though..............

 

[Mark_S]

Me and the bro have jus entered.. gonna be our first rally in the wee Saxo..

We are just trying to get it ready here too.

Has any1 ever put a hydraulic handbrake into a saxo? we have it plumed in but the dam thing won't work..

I think it's plumed properly but I'm just wondering do I have to bypass the load sensing valve..

Can any1 help please!!!!!!

 

[mike150]

Nope!
We didn't think it worth the time or money to put one in such a cheap car so we just made the standard one as good a possible with new discs, pads, a handbrake extension and a mod on the calipers.

I think you have to bypass the valve

 

[DavyC]

@Mark_S Welcome along!

Not sure about the load sensing valve. A common mistake is getting the inlet and outlet mixed up on the master cylinder. The inlet is the one nearest the end of the body and the outlet is about half way up the master cylinder body. When bleeding make sure the handbrake master cylinder is positioned with the outlet as the highest point and just bleed with the foot pedal as normal.

 

[KevM]

I'm on a late nighter too, I have a wheel arch to tidy (standard MX5) before the test tomorrow after work... A night in the garage this close to xmas, wife might kill me!! lol

Bypass the valve.

@RComms has a photo of when I did his 306 to give you an idea

That is false dude, there are plenty that come the other way round.

However, for the majority of AP/Girling style cylinders you are correct, the inlet will be the flat (i.e. designed to have a reservoir screwed on) and the outlet is at an angle facing forward.

 

[DavyC]

^^..Ah of course!..shouldnt have generalised it like that!.. Cheers for that!

@KevM Good man!... Never worry about Mrs Claus, Santa needs to get the RWD sleigh MOT'd!..

 

[Mark_S]

Cheers @DavyC ... Thanks for the info lads. il try to bypass the valve today it makes sense to do that. If that doesnt work il tighten the normal handbrake and leave the hydro sittin in the car as a showpiece lol.

Think i seeded 94th this must be a huge rally why are there only 2 classes tho?

Don't worry about classes - they mean little/nothing and are purely a paperwork exercise for the organisers to cover themselves with MSA and Insurance

 

[KevM]

I assume they run a split field with the number of entries?

 

[cauld1]

They did last year. Worked well. Agree with @PeteMoore on the classes too.

I imagine my boxing day (the actual day) will be spent swearing at the mazda and eachother with my dad to get it ready!
