psyko75 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 ... this weekend in a small Bangerstox on dirt
xj40 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Good luck I'm guessing 'Bangerstox' is similar to Rookies? Let us know how you get on
AndyH 148 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Smart car but please tell me you are going to shorten those bolts behind the drivers seat before you race it?! Cheers Andy
walker Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 aint u supposed to take the dash board out and yeah I agree with andy I would shorten the bolts to
Cabs Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 My opinion .......... outside looks smart inside is a shambles How do you fill the water tank up with it being so low? hope you have some sort of pressure relief if your filling from the engine side? Remember ........ the bits inside are the bits that will hurt you if not installed properly I borrowed a car once for a local grass meeting (Mk1 Escort estate ..... nice lol) when the chap never arrived after someone else brought his car. All good in theory untill after trying to tuck myself away into the rear ashtray of a Volvo estate the battery and box came out the floorpan bounced off the bulkhead and landed on me lap !! Sorry to seem a bit off but i dont like to see anyone get hurt because of simple things that are easily avoided
Rikard Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Looks good! Good luck and have fun!
psyko75 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Posted September 14, 2007 I saw Rookie Bangers last year in Ispwich and no that is not what i will drive. There is only little pushing allowed.. no follow ins and stuff like this... and its a really small track so the crashes won´t be that hard.. i hope so..lol And due the little contact dashboards are allowed to stay in as are radiators but i prefered to use a water tank that has to be mounted on the passengers floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASwP3Myi2qY some impressions from last years first event Last year there have been about 40 Bangerstox and only 10 Bangers due another meeting at the same time. As you can see there have also been litte games called highlandergames.... sorry to the scots..lol This year There will be Bangerstox (about 100 cars booked) Bangers (about 40 booked) So watch out for more pics and videos and thanks for the best wishes and tips.

Sorry to seem a bit off but i dont like to see anyone get hurt because of simple things that are easily avoided shambles.. yeah a little bit... we start first building up my road car Rover 111 but after working 2 weeks (only for about 2 hours after work have to say each day) we decided to switch to the VW Rabbit due to much problems with the Rover (suspension mainly) So with time running a bit of and most important me want to build it and not just giving screws and hammer to a professional to built it looks shambles but it works...lol Water is filled from engine side as water tank was not possible due to size and regulations to be mounted on top of firewall. Batterie and Tank are really strong mounted and don´t think they can get loose. But will let cut the bolts even they are long way behind the seat
walker Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 is it just me or is that track megga wee lol
psyko75 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Posted September 14, 2007 is it just me or is that track megga wee lol what does megga wee stands for? this year it should be build a little bit more bigger but it´s on a field and with parking, pits and spectators there will be not that much room for a really big track

Guest Trash Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Question: Why is the signwriting in English? I know it's not just you, when I have visited Belgium in the past for meetings, the majority of the continentals use english wording, why is this?
psyko75 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Posted September 14, 2007 Question: Why is the signwriting in English? I know it's not just you, when I have visited Belgium in the past for meetings, the majority of the continentals use english wording, why is this? it simply sounds better (my2 cents)
xTx Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 Nice to see anyone racing, good luck to you mate. With respect to it being light contact, the majority of all motorsport is NON contact, but that doesn't stop competitors from making their cars safe. The cars most fragile component is you and to be honest you stand a good chance of getting damaged if you dont sort your bolts and frame. Spend your time and money making it safe, then if there's any left over make it pretty. Have a look at Ernies car close up and you'll see that its not just the paint that's sorted. Post afters photos gents, and enjoy yourselves! xTx
