  • Rally Golf - First Run

    After 3 and a bit years, the Rally Golf saw the outside world for the first time this weekend. Saturday morning it was a run down to Jax for a wheel align then on to Peter at CVWC for some hoist time. All considered (after all this is my work we are looking at here) there were very few things that needed much attention. Peter spent some quality time with the webbers and a timing light, then off for a test drive.

    Saturday arvo was mainly a cut & polish session with the bonnet and front guards, and a slight issue with the alternator - where the hell did the blue wire from the charge light go???

    Anyway, by nightfall I felt the we were ready for our first competitive outing at the MG Car Club Motorkhana.

    So Sunday...

                  It ran pretty well faultlessly, some dyno time will help trim the webbers and I still don't know about the battery charging stuff. I started to get the feel of the handbrake/power balance towards the end of the day - and there are nuts, screws and all sorts of rattly bits that need to be removed from the cabin before the next run . Video to follow....

                        Great work Charles!

                        It looks better in the flesh than in the photos.

                        You will have to let us know the next time you go out so we can watch you do your thing

                        Good to see it in action

                          Would definately like to see this & more so hear this thing in action one day.

                          How is the braking without being boosted?

                            Interesting to say the least. I need more time to setup the bias properly, but adjusted to to middle of the bias-bar it seems ok on tarmac - you just need to push a bit harder.
