Hello guys

I'm Rob and live in Aston Clinton , Bucks . Built a Stylus starting in 1997 finished in 1999 , on the road in 2000. It's red , has a 2lt Zetec silvertop originally on 45's . Moved to fast road cams very soon after getting it on the road , taking it from 165bhp to 193bhp. From then to 2005 , I sprinted it in the ACSMC Speed series , spending time and money developing the handling which gave some success over that time. In 2006 I changed to TB's giving more grunt at 231bhp . Since then I've not done a full event season , also changed class to sports libre from road going kit but still retained the same spec' tyres with no special wheels/tyres for wet running , nor wings or flat floor . Did it to save cost of TAX , MOT , INSURANCE. Had a major shunt at Eelmoor at the end of the 2008 season , making it necessary to repair the front suspension , new radiator , 'A' frame plus a new half body. Very expensive mistake so have only just done two events this year due to the time taken for repair but won both , one being in running water conditions --- a first for me . Having to repair it made me decide to convert it to a flip front , using just 2mm fibre glass for the body but reinforced with carbon fibre strips. Also designed my own ' A ' frame so it would hinge to clear the tarmac by 120mm because the lower front chassis rail is 90mm from the ground.
