Cabs Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyko75 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trash Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share 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?

xTx Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
