i dont know where it came from originally but was built for DJ minis 205.

Unfortunately its designed to fit in the standard location so keeps all the weight on the wrong side. Its a good bit of kit if i could keep more than half a tank full in to stop it leaking lol.

only just caught the pictures of the tank, that looks awesome, was it a Satchell item?

I know colin has made a few, his is mounted on the left side with a filler in the floor I think, counteract the weight of the driver!


That's what was in the Green car I sold to Supercharger/ Ross great idea that I'm going to copy soon Thumbs up

I think ultimately that's the way forward especially with moving it to the passenger side but for what it's going to cost to get this one sorted I'll stick a standard in with a external swirl pot as got plenty more to do first.

Yeah was a good day Monday especially with wills 106 comming out in top after the clutch etc.

My plan for now is to get it back mobile whilst I fiddle with this spare engine as after seeing the Combe hot hatch I've got aspirations for that but need a lot more time in the seat before i can think of doing anything like that

Really good luck with hot hatch Thumbs up ....

Yes we took the box off & nut -bolted the centre clutch plate back on as all the rivets had snapped on his Tilton clutch plate Crazy ...never took a 106 gearbox out & apart & quite a lot different...but as you saw we did it & he won Whistle

Hopefully I'll start my tank project in September/ November this year ?

Will be a long time off yet but good to have aspirations - with my current spec I know a very similar spec car does around 1.19-1.20 at combe which I know I'm a long way off yet so practice practice practice is what's needed. Hoping to get car back together over next couple of weeks and get a track day booked

I think your really doing things correct Mr Bland
Just be aware a more powerful engine changes EVERYTHING!!!!
So don't spend to much money on suspension YET ?

I was doing just under 1.17 before I took 80kgs off my car & bought my rear 3ways & 23 plus 25mm torsion bars to try .... I was running 21s with Group A dampers which isn't quite good for my Engine speed & power now ...it WAS to start with ...before Sandys Engine .....& fitted F2000 rear spoiler which I've not tried yet ....

I think Adam B understands what I'm going through Thumbs up ....

It's not the bump damper problem I'm suffering from it's the turn in at speed that compressing my current rear setup at high speed ...I know what I need & it's the Engine that's caused all this ....Will Declaudio has been with me and he said me & this car could do 1.13-1.14 easy it just needs slightly better cornering setup ...the straight line speed is no problem just a little twitchy at 127-130 because of no standard tailgate spoiler...which I could of sorted with a standard spoiler but I went OTT with the F2000...
Yes the big spoiler will cause drag but Sandys Engine will sort that as I have more than enough power to compensate it ....

You saw the size & weight of Will Declaudio Mike LOL ...he's like 10stone & combined with a 106 light car & 230bhp Sandy Engine & amazing driving skills he beat 580bhp cars around Combe with the likes of Gary Peeble equally as good a driver but with heavier car & person ...

My suspension at the min for my ability is fine, well I've certainly never felt that it's the week point allthough I've not tried anything better either but for now I can't fault it. The engine is just something I've always wanted to do it will be on hydraulic lifters so won't be to mad just a bit more than I have now + so far it's the only part of my car I haven't built myself. Hopefully going well it'll be finished over the winter but again I'm in no real rush I'll just buy bits when funds allow.

Had a day out at Mallory park on fri

Slight issue with the car not wanting to start after the warm up lap but switched the battery and all was good for the rest of the day. May well be the last outing for the current engine as hopefully parts should start arriving soon for the new engine build although may try and squeeze one more outing out of the current set up that's destined to be rehomed in another 205

Think the stickers are growing on me though
