Massively overdue some updates on this page so here goes!
I didn’t manage to get out at Silverstone for the first round of the classic touring car championship but I managed to lend a helping hand to Imp newcomer Will Egby who had gearbox woes at his first race meeting.
A broken selector shaft cut his first qualifying session short.
So I loaded up my car with my spare standard gearbox and some tools and headed over to silverstone and after a few hours of spannering Will was cruising the Fraser imp round to the collecting area for his first race which he finished successfully🏁
Plenty more updates to come over the Easter weekend, have a good one!

Gave my standard ratio gearbox a look over today, Thruxton is next weekend and it’s the fastest circuit we visit so I’m hoping the longer top gear will help on the back straight. Bit of a gamble but we’ll see if it pays off. This gearbox was used in my imp for about 5 years when it was a road car so it saw plenty of abuse!
MK2 Golf ABF on carbs
Last summer I spent some time helping my friend Matt with his ABF powered MK2 Golf. We got it running better by adjusting the ignition mapping out on the road.
Breathing through a pair of Mikuni’s it sounds epic👌🏻
