Chammy is back and better!


Well bbracer and F7R-R5 came down tonight for the final push. And within the hour the clutch cable was in, bumper reattached, and the key was turned Thanks boys

Sounds great and runs even better! I couldn't believe how soft the brake pedal is, i guess its been a while since i drove a 19

Anyhow the new braking system is perfect, and a good ragging around near the meet site (29th dec) proved it was all working well although the cambelt sounded tight.

Well chuffed!!!

Yeah well this one seems to drop a bit before the brakes kick in. Braking seems fine though.

I might look at the pedal again over the weekend and also see if there's anything in the push rod to the master cylinder i can adjust
