Celia would it not be feasable to build a 2nd 1500cc engine on Webbers for use with CTCRC where its legal and just use the 1200 for away trips.

**Peter Mallett** · 23 Oct 2008, 04:57 (Ref:2318748)

I look forward to seeing it Celia, good luck.

zefarelly · 23 Oct 2008, 06:55 (Ref:2318778)

Al

It would, you'd probably want some diff ratios as well

looking at CTCRC lap times I think the 1200 could compete mid field

I agree with GOrdon though, its just not quite quick enough to be competitive enough to have wider appeal, which is a shame

**Peter Mallett** · 23 Oct 2008, 07:21 (Ref:2318786)

I applaud Celia for this, because she's doing exactly what we all should do and racing something she can afford and enjoy, rather than just going for out and out wins.

rogerwills · 23 Oct 2008, 07:52 (Ref:2318802)

I thought thats what you do in the Capri......

**Peter Mallett** · 23 Oct 2008, 07:55 (Ref:2318803)

Very true. I only have a limited budget for racing so cut my cloth to suit. If not I'd be up there with the rest of you.

zefarelly · 23 Oct 2008, 08:04 (Ref:2318811)

likewise with the GT . . .and when you beat a few LC's . . .they don't like it up em!

in fact the only time I bea tthem all I got accused of cheating

suffice to say the 2L efi came out pronto

terence · 23 Oct 2008, 08:33 (Ref:2318831)

So you went to the same capacity as the LCs then?

morninggents · 23 Oct 2008, 11:24 (Ref:2318962)

Presumably you're talking about the App K LCs and not the honest HRSR ones.

anglia788 · 23 Oct 2008, 12:32 (Ref:2319040)

Hi Celia,

Glad to hear about your about Anglia project. I used to race my current car as a 1200 form 89 to 97 built to the appendix J? regs with a 28/36 weber carb and standard cast iron crank etc (even raced the hollow one for quite a while!), not massively quick but still great fun, and plenty to race with at the CTCRC, if I can be of any help, contact me from my CTCRC membership details or via the CTCRC forum,

Nick Jones

**Peter Mallett** · 23 Oct 2008, 12:39 (Ref:2319051)

Welcome to our forum Nick.

Al Weyman · 23 Oct 2008, 12:40 (Ref:2319052)

Blimey its Nick, they are letting anyone on here now! :-) Welcome to the forum Nick.

zefarelly · 23 Oct 2008, 13:13 (Ref:2319091)

If theres going to bea load of Anglias out there maybe I'll do one as well, I'll have 2 uncompetitive cars then !

anglia788 · 23 Oct 2008, 15:26 (Ref:2319172)

being 100% competitive is not the whole reason for racing, surely, if it were we'd all be racing Lotus Cortinas, and were would be the fun in that

terence · 23 Oct 2008, 15:29 (Ref:2319173)

Depends on if they were ALL running 2ltr.

Al Weyman · 23 Oct 2008, 15:50 (Ref:2319181)

As CTCRC allows the fitment of the Kent 1500 and twin webbers plus some lightened panels and plexiglass you could be very competitive out with us Zef with your knowledge of the marque. You know you want to! BTW I believe you would also be in a different class to the LC's.

anglia788 · 23 Oct 2008, 16:37 (Ref:2319213)

Sorry Al, lightened panels not allowed in Classics and Historics, (except maybe in class G?) so steel wings, bonnet, boot and doors but can use perspex windows, it's the Post Historics that allow fibreglass wings because they're hard to get hold of apparently ( you try getting a pair of steel Anglia wings this side of a King's Ransom!)

That doesn't work. Everyone figured that out. Now its US V8s.

A proper FIA LC will have you well down the pack in most events now!

Al Weyman · 23 Oct 2008, 18:29 (Ref:2319286)

Sorry Nick gets all a bit confusing. :-)

I know somebody that can pedal one pretty quick, but he charges a fair amount !

And Nick, so those two steel things hanging up in my workshop are worth a "kings ransom"
Mmmm I might put them on Ebay

anglia788 · 23 Oct 2008, 20:46 (Ref:2319384)

Would n't do that Gordon unless you need the cash, as soon as you shift them do you're bound to stuff one of yours next time out, and besides, they're much better than money in the bank nowadays!

zefarelly · 24 Oct 2008, 08:44 (Ref:2319678)

lets build one then Gordon . . .you've got the shell and I'm knee deep in engines

GORDON STREETER · 24 Oct 2008, 17:28 (Ref:2320119)

I might well take you up on that as I suppose between us we won't actually have to purchase too much

Which would save you all that money,you could then team up for the six hour next year.

zefarelly · 25 Oct 2008, 06:39 (Ref:2320383)

that had never even crossed my mind
