Thought I would update you all on my first seasons hillclimbing in a Gilbern Genie. The start of the season was a bit, 'what have I bought!!??'

but then I remember my last car was way off the mark before a bit of fettling and I was just being impatient as usual. The diff lasted about 0.5 second and so a Quaiffe was installed in the rear axle as was a later model 4sp box. Gradual modification of the suspension and its geometry throughout the season and it at last sat square (enough for a road car) on the track in time for the last event were I was finally snapping at the heels of a couple of very well prepared Mini Coopers.
Work for the winter includes further suspension modifications, a better exhaust system now I've moved the offending chassis rail and I'm going to have a go at making my own twin DGAS inlet manifold. If I'm very lucky Santa might bring me some high compression pistons

If it all comes together I'll be fighting over the gongs with the Coopers.
I will eventually get around to putting some detailed pictures on the forum or the web somewhere. The following page has lots of stuff about the seasons events as well as a link to a site with pictures of me at the October Curborough meeting
