I attended the Bromley Pageant of Motoring today, in the company of Clive with his RX-4 and Philip with his RX-3. A huge show, but we we had the only rotaries on display, apart form a silver FD, which joined us on the stand later in the day. Lots of interest from the visitors in our small collection!

That is some good progress there bro. I know the feeling of getting those fuel sender screws out! hahaha. I think I replaced mine with stainless capheads (less chance of rounding the heads). An accurate gauge is lovely!

The underside also looks mint now too

capheads, less chance of rounding? Pull the other one! regular external hex head is better than internal allen drive for stopping rounding. Button heads are the absolute worst as they use a size down allen compared to a parallel cap head.

Great pictures Malcolm, they all look good together, reminds me of Beaulieu a few years ago.

I believe I already had a bunch around. I agree button heads are horrific

...and, a couple of hours later....


Clean pass, no advisories 

I was hoping for that result, but with a 39 year old car, one can never be sure!

Whoa! It's been a while since I posted in this topic

As reported elsewhere, last weekend I took my car to the Japfest Classic Show at Goodwood. It was great to get this picture of some of our club member's cars together - sadly Tim had departed before we rearranged the cars for the pics below, else it would have been 6 cars in a row! It was great to catch up with other owners and their cars.

The trip down to Goodwod was 3 hours without a stop, in fast motorway and crawling traffic in places. The car was faultless throughout the whole journey down. Same on the way back, but we stopped for a break and a bite to eat.
