Three Years Later!

Wow. Three years have passed since I last shared any news or updates. And in honesty very little has happened in those three years. Unsurprisingly the Lockdown restrictions impacted the amount of use the car has had, all club activities and meets canceled. The car has mostly hibernated under a cover in the garage, with the odd appearance for an MOT or a wash.

With the start of 2022 and the end of lockdown restrictions, I was finally able to plan some activity with the Club and car. First up was continuing with helping to organise the annual Stoneleigh show for WSCC – this year being the first proper one since before lockdown. This year funnily, I was driving the van so didn’t take the Westfield. We hag a great show in some lovely weather. The only challenge was getting the air out of the arch at the end!

Next up, just this month, was the annual MOT. Passed no problem although the tester confirmed what I was already aware of – the exhaust, now 20 years old, was in need of replacement. I knew this was the case prior to the test, and spent some time at the show looking at options and chatting to members about their experiences. As you would expect the choice is limited for a kit car, but within that small limit there’s a range of suppliers and costs. The current one is factory stock and although a like-for-like replacement is possible, its quite expensive for a basic product.

The conclusion was to go for a custom manufactured item from Wunoff. Once its arrived I’ll take some pictures of the fitting on my car, this is a stock photo.
