To be fair, there are many different skill levels in Vintage Racing and it takes a few years to get comfortable at speed. I'm sure the RX7 will be very quick with more seat-time
Great camera positions, great editing, great video, but mostly, great driving from a former Spec Miata & VARA FF racer. What happened to the Elva, the only car that we didn't see you pass?
Thanks for enjoying the video! Kevin in the Elva basically gathered it up and took off. He's very quick. I developed a problem with the differential and a high speed vibration started to back off and maintain my gap
@@stevesgarageshow I asked about the Elva because I'm pretty sure that I especially enjoyed seeing it as the only race car at the Woodley Park, All British show a couple week ends ago. I was showing my race tribute E Type. Good luck on the track.
Thanks for sharing, your TR sounds very good, well appointed, and runs well. I had a TR sold her she landed back in the UK from South Africa. Also use to race her in the Historic races. Just love that sound of the motor. Yours Lance
I'm the other Steve who used to wait with you for our guys at the Intermediate School last year, we talked a lot, about this car, your job... Weird, you never mentioned this RU-vid Channel?!?
It's up to the driver and the numbers that are already spoken for in the club in the same classification. We used to run #35 and if there was another 35 that day, we would become 135 or 351 with the help of some black duct tape
I like the music and light effects. Super nice trailer moving graphic at the end. Interesting group of cars. Beetle, Opel GT, Yellow Special and Special Smokey...Fiat?. Nice driving as usual. Congrats on the class win! Awesome.
Surprised! Typically a Sprite is ONLY competitive with Other sprites .. as they are NOT quick cars regardless of $$$ spent on them. 3/4 of the cars on that track should have / would have left the Sprite for dead. in a real race. Absolutely So the Minis and Lotii. Unless of course they weren't actually racing but simply having a nice 'outing' .
They're fast and in Vintage Racing, depending on the organization, the cars can be set up to very high spec. It's amateur racing, not professional and the drivers vary in skill and experience but It's extremely thrilling and difficult to win. Thanks for watching
OK, finally caught up. I was pretty far behind on my Steve’s Garage Show! You approach seal installation like I do, always thinking I can just finesse it in but ultimately resulting to violence. Miss you guys and Willow!
So how i get the oil seal out of the rotors is pull outside bearing put nut back on snatch rotor off the bearing and seal will be left behind takes less than 30 sec hope this will save u alot of time for the other side if the nut wont go tru the center of rotor get a brass punch and knock the bearing out on the table and a block of wood for clearance hope this makes sense !!
Pretty intense off-road driving expression on your face. Looked like a white knuckling event. Excellent technique for careful removal of the bearing seal...very funny. Interesting the seal was so difficult to install. I enjoyed a few good laughs on this one. Thanks Steve!
“Carefully prise” is one of those dread-inducing phrases throughout old British instruction manuals. The opposite end of the scale is the delightfully vague “nip it up.” Thanks for the great episode and ride in your Land Rover!
By the way, this episode demonstrates the need for a variety of bearing and seal prising and installation tools, which may appear to be junk or garbage to those unacquainted with British cars.
I figured Land Rover would have made a starter change MUCH easier. Imagine being out in the bush trying to get that bloody thing off and back on. Good to see Nigel is up to his old tricks.
Just found your channel and am enjoying it. The steel portion of the seat box you cleaned and painted is riveted to the aluminium part of the seat box. I would suggest drilling out the rivets so that you can paint the edges and put some sealer between the steel and aluminium so that the two metals are isolated. It’s not much work (much less than taping it off honestly although you did that already). 😂
Keep 'em coming, Steve! My dog Tilley and I both enjoyed this episode. She was intensely intrigued by the wildlife sound effects. Nice clean-up work on the floor panel. I am very familiar with that kind of automotive grunge.
