Friendlydragon Racing: December 2011
http://blog.friendlydragon.co.uk/2011_12_01_archive.html
Triumph motor racing, classic cars and my random thoughts. Saturday, 17 December 2011. There's a car in my garage! I'll post some pictures of the car when I have chance to get it outside between bouts of rain, snow, hail and other such unpleasantness we seem to be experiencing recently. I did take one quick picture of the car just as it was loaded in the trailer ready to bring it home. It's looking rather resplendent in its brand new just-out-of-the-paint-shop finish.

Friendlydragon Racing: June 2014
http://blog.friendlydragon.co.uk/2014_06_01_archive.html
Triumph motor racing, classic cars and my random thoughts. Thursday, 12 June 2014. Actually very green. My much-delayed "other" Spitfire finally made it back from the paint shop last week and it's not just green but GREEN. In fact I reckon I'll have to add some shiny bling chrome to tone it down a bit. Excellent, feels like progress on that project at last. I'd better get on with fixing the broken van that's currently blocking my driveway. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Jonys Spit6 Blog: lessons learnt from donnington
http://jonysspit6.blogspot.com/2007/03/lessons-learnt-from-donnington.html
Wednesday, 28 March 2007. Lessons learnt from donnington. Well after suffering fuel surge problems at donno park, i had to set about sorting that out as a priority for mallory park (especialy as they have the longest right hander in british motorsport). But heres how it looks at present:. This shows the fuel tank exit going into the swirl pot via a cut off valve (a must have if you ask me! I also need to drain the tank and replace the fuel pipe between the tank and pot as this is too thin. To try and imp...

http://jonysspit6.blogspot.com/2007/01/things-iv-done-on-car-to-date.html
Friday, 26 January 2007. Things iv done on the car to a date. For the 1st few months i didnt really touch it, just ran it how it was, aprt from playing with timing etc. but had a little spurt recently. 1st off it was installing a new '123 ignition system', since fitting it iv noticed a dramatic change in the engines running and im sure it will give better proformance once I've changed the advance curve, i thoroughly recomend them! And JUST the other day i picked up a set of 5 14" 5 SPOKE REVOLUTIONS!

Jonys Spit6 Blog: February 2008
http://jonysspit6.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 1 February 2008. Well the 1st major bits for the new engine started coming through last week thanks to james S. Got a piper rally cam 300deg 46-78. Some lovly double springs. And finaly some special 1 piece steel valves. They are all obviosuly for the spit, only cost me under £150 in total so rather pleased! Need to get back to work though before i go spending much more! But certainly putting it into reality though mind and not just an idea which is nice! Thats it for now! View my complete profile.
