    Something's bent

    So yesterday I had a bit of an off at Loton Park, slid across the grass, over the top of a bank and landed with a bump. The NSR now runs a lot more camber than the OSR and I suspect as it landed it dragged the bottom of the wheel outwards. Strangely, it actually steers and brakes in a straight...

    Bucket seat fitting in a 197

    Hi all, I'm just looking for comments of experiences when fitting bucket seats please. I'm most likely going to be fitting runners between the sidemounts and the car but I'm just trying to figure whether I need subframes for the runners to bolt to, or if they'll directly replace the OR seat...
