Hi jim,
Speak to Mike Dent ( Moose) on here, he will advise and supply the best shocks, springs, also great for all mods on imps.
but just at the moment he is in Australia for the next couple of weeks.

keith.

Well done Geoff and Steve. This was the first time out since the Manx last September, when the gearbox lost some teeth from the crown wheel, the box having been rebuilt by Dave Weedon, and the engine and car undergone a winter rebuild. The pair were keen to get a result and have a clean run, this th...

Well done Chris,
We didn't have dampness around the eyes did we.

all the best Keith.

Well done Mike.
Not just the car that's top notch then ?? the driver must have a bit of something about him then to.

although I think the co-driver should take most of the credit, what say you Haggis

well done mate, be in touch when I get back.

cheers Keith.

This picture is of ( if memory serves me right) Steve Crumps road rally imp, with the original owner of Imp speeds Roy Redmans rally clan in the background. Roys place was in Houghton near Blackburn, until he sold up and moved to an Island of west Scotland, I believe he was still involved in the Cla...

hi mickey
Good luck this weekend, hope you have a good run and the new engine dose the business

will get in touch next week.

Keith.

Yes well done mike on getting that bottle home without opening it

looks like you had good fun, I trust the car ran well? and up to expectations. do you think the rear shocks need stiffening up a bit that's some air under the front wheel.
Are we still on for next week

cheers Keith.

Chris,
he would be going much quicker if he had stole it, he just don't want to scratch it

That is till tomorrow, when the flag drops and the red mist descends, as I said before Mike hope you have a good clean run , will speak next week
Keith.

signed,
we need to keep as many motor sport venues as we possible can.
Keith.

Hi Guys
Its not just the uj, he has improved the ball end at the gear lever to make gear selection more precise, ie quick shift style. Its only been developed with competition in mind not for general road use.
Keith.

My mistake should have read porches and conservatories

Severn valley rally Geoff Taylor and Steve Greenhill were the only Imp entrants on this rally although there was a good number of Avengers and Sunbeams. The car now with the spare engine in was running well and ready to see if the changes made over the winter, having been Moosed, will improve its ha...

Hi Mathew I agree with the others it has to be related to drive from the oil pump, end float or bronze gear movement. On the gear lever problem I would give Mike Dent (Moose) a call he has developed a very good modified one, I think some guys on here have them? ideal for racing ,rallying. good luck ...

Hi Mike
add one for me please.

cheers Keith.

Mid Wales Stages Mixed fortunes for the imps out on a changeable day, Geoff Taylor retired less than 3 miles into the first stage, : :cry: with overheating problems, suspect a cracked head, but hopefully a wills ring. Poor old Mike Barrett retired with a broken drive coupling (brand new) on stage th...

Well done Chris Tooes on the Red kite rally, don't no if they are doing the full championship?. Geoff Taylor (Gemini on here) is doing a selection of events this year after a rebuild and development work by Moose, Mike Dent over the winter. His first event will be the Mid Wales stages March 01/03/14...

Hi Mike

All the best Keith.

Mike what's in the bottles :?: not Red Bull by any chance :lol: :lol: The car is looking great, let us know when you get it running will pay you a visit, :) Its a shame Nigels changed his plans, :( now the car seems to be sorted, would have been good to see how much the improvements would have made ...

well done to Geoff and Steve, 1st in class and Gerint Thomas 2nd in class, on the Severn valley rally, its a shame Mike Smith is not having as much good fortune, having to retire with overheating problems, thats the second rally in a row, hopefully third time lucky Mike keep your chin up it will com...

Good luck Nige and H.
Keith.

hi guys I was just interested to see what ideas are out there with regards strengthening the rear arms, for forrest rallying :?: in relation to them bending near the bearing housing mainly, i have some ideas :? but would like to know what others have tried that have been successfull. cheers leadfoot.

Chris is it the colour as as it could have been the one i am trying to get on the road at the moment bad repairs, very poor welding (you just wonder how they pass an MOT) we ended up repairing the o/s sill, floor, front inner wing, front corner, rear suspension mount, spring seat, cone, n/s new inne...

Hi Chris
looking forward to hearing the trials and tribulations and of course the tears, we all now you will do the make proud,
by the way any chance of a copy of the drawings for the spit it looks awsome,
cheers Keith.

Hi Jakjak having just completed the fitting of an Imp club full floor section i can fully recommend them and well worth the money, yes they may take longer to fit but i now have a very solid unrotten floor that when fully treated and painted should last for another 30 years, :) just hope the rest of...

hopefully going, if work dosnt get in the way. I have many great memories of the RAC, ive watched, marshalled or serviced from 1972-1995 and without doubt the best years were the 70s in those days it was a rally in its self to go specing for 5 days and nights, we would do up to twenty stages and ove...

Hi mike
hope you and yours had a good holiday, and the rally went well

you must be fully rested then if your taking that lot on, as you know if i can be of any help just let me know.
cheers Keith.

Hi Chris Is it an orange thing :?: as Andrews newley aquired imp looks just like it, lots of welding to be done and more being found. cracking on with it, as he is desperate to get back on the road, better not through this one down a hill. i am sure crusty will be done to the same high spec as stell...

I think i can safely say that both Geoff and Nigel wont be doing the RAC this year. The idea is to do the event in 2013 as a three car team, with possible Mike as the third team member :?: ,(that isnt to say that more imps woudnt be welcome) but this is subject to what championships they do, as ther...

Hi all A quick up date on the rally imps, as i will let Nigel tell the details, but a mixed and busy weekends sport, first after a minor hic up after scruiteneering, Nigel and H went on to finish the rally, when Mike and i left not sure of final results, but they had a good run, just to complete the...
