Although they say the chassis is a Hocking, I've been informed by some knowledgable locals that its a March 87B which was modified by Hocking in 1992.

I've only got slicks for it atm and its raining :D I wanna get it to Wakefield... SOON!!

Michelle has bought a Transformer!

Does it have a Transformer name or are you going to leave that up to your trusted SAU colleagues?

Well done, these things are a joy to work on in terms of accessability. Takes half the time or less to do everything ie change pads, springs, wheels, dampers, alignment. You might still go temporarily mad trying to get it right...but it'll take less time.

I hope to run it at the hillclimb if its high enough and not too noisy. Its only 40mm from the ground. I also have some fittings/modifications to pedals/seating so I can reach the pedals and support/lift my feet (block maybe?) and I need a new harness because the one thats in it has expired. But if its ready in time, then I would like to take it.

What open wheeler are you running?

I might be going to wakefield this weekend in it aswell, but its sounds like yours is a little way off.

Its a 1963 renmax.

Its my oldmans but he upgraded and left it for me :)

I plan to buy it in the next few years if he will let me. He loves the car to bits.

Its only a little sucker with no wings, about 4 years to early (which i love) with a 1L cosworth in it.

Have you run it at the Hillclimb before? I don't remember seeing you out there, if you have, apologies if I didn't recognise you... when did you run out there last?

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
