12th December 2008.
Christmas and the bad weather that usually comes with it is arriving fast. This year I have managed to do a lot of work to my FibreFab SWB Rat. I have changed the rear suspension substantially to an IRS type that places the rear wheels firmly on the ground. This has improved the grip of the rear wheels and the buggy now feels like its running on rails. I have also managed to fit a rear disk conversion that has increased the stopping performance of the car. Unfortunately this year has brought a lot of engine problems that have made me fit a surrogate engine into the car whilst I build a new engine. This has been further troubled by finding someone who can line bore my new case ready for a new high performance crankshaft. I have now found a company that can line bore the case and they are based in Biggin Hill :
Baldyne Aviation Traders Engineer
Site 500, Biggin Hill Civil Airport, Biggin Hill,
Westerham, Kent TN16 3BN
Tel: 01959 540205
Classification: Car Engine Tuning & Conversion
They have assured me that they can still do the engine line boring and I am hoping to get the case to them in early January as I am committed to building my new engine next year after the Christmas and New Year fever has dissipated.
I want to finish wishing my readers a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year.
