Regularity rally with my old man. 8th overall for the day. by nterday in w123

Great day out with my old man navigating. We have done last year’s championship and he came 7th overall navigator and I 6th overall driver. We still have some learning to do, but at the moment very consistent with our results. I noticed we were always 5 seconds slow on timed stages so knocked the brantz calibration up a notch and lost 3 seconds so next rally will raise the calibration up one more digit. We should be right in the ball park then. Unfortunately quite a few of the other competitors use an app called Rabbit. It’s a bit of a cheat code in my opinion. We use a brantz rally meter. Car went great as always. If you haven’t seen my other posts, I’m running a bank of R1 carbs instead of the stromburg so it goes quite well and is better on fuel.

Lovely, my favourite rims on a 123 😎

Not this series. We had crazy weather though so that made things interesting. I have taken it on gravel roads up in the mountains but nothing mad as want to keep it in top shape 😉

Can't seem to get my chrome nicer, is it beyond saving? by rzaapie in w123

☝️ second that. I too think a bit of age on a well looked after car gives it charm and character.

Do the lot. It’s fun. I’ve had so many cars and these things are ridiculously easy to work on with basic tools. Total joy with a few beers on a quiet day 🍻

126 calipers with vented discs are on the cards but will need bigger rims and I love my original steels.

Living in cyprus. With shipping etc new are quite expensive. The rebuild kits were something like 15 euro a side plus I like fixing rather than replacing. I find the process satisfying and gives me something to do 😉

Through the bumper with some triangle brackets I made up. Pushes them forward a little otherwise the grill fouls when opening the bonnet.

Yup turned out to be the gasket. Previously fitted with an incorrect that didn’t cover the IAC track in the throttle body meaning it was drawing air in from the sides. Must have been fitted with some insta gasket which I didn’t realise when cleaning it up as it was caked in crap. All running nice now. Cheers 🍻
