MSUK NCR's
Getting started

These are the MSUK regs mate and a getting started page

Biggest problem you'd have is the original engine and gearbox have to be used in the road going classes so you'd jump to sports libre which is a whole new ball game, especially with the licence. In road going I use the RS Interclub but in libre the max capacity is something like 1500cc with a turbo so you would need a race licence!

Give me a shout if you want a chat (or I'm only probably 25 mins from you)!

This is something I'd like to get into.

Are there any links to regs etc?

Hi Ardent,

no I don't.
I just bought a 3D printer, and this is the first thing I designed, and probably the third thing I printed.

A supercharged 5ltr Jag F-Type has entered in my class now aswell - Some cracking cars entered and I'm really looking forward to it - praying for a dry day!

Quote from: Monkey Relish on June 24, 2025, 08:29Hi all,

I designed these unobtaneum clips that hold the charcoal canister pipe on the firewall welded studs.
Mine broke when removing the pipe, and they are not available from Toyota.
Printed out of Nylon to handle the engine bay temps.
Free to anyone who wants to print and sell these.
Hope this helps someone.

Here is the link to the files for the replacement clip.

Hi, have you, or know where to find a profile for the hidden clip/socket the tail light spigot locates into?

got it in the air today to soften the rear anti roll bar - front was already on full stiff

Had a big problem I didn't't know about at Barbon. When I'd done the handbrake I checked and it seemed fine but today I noticed the insides of the rear wheels were black with brake dust and tried spinning the wheels. The rear brakes had been binding badly!
Now backed off and spinning nicely and that could be the second I was chasing!

Got the MOT on Friday and apart from wiring a new horn up I'm pretty confident it will go through without issue

Got the car on 4 bits of worktop that line up perfectly with a spirit level so alignment next - 1mm toe out front, 1mm toe in rear and as much camber as I can get all round!!

More mapping Friday and next week to get some more ponies out of it and speakers coming out of the doors to compensate for my diet!

Put my July 19th entry in to Barbon today so again, if anyone fancies a day out I'll be there!

Right!

So I managed to tackle the mess that was the garage and binned an load of rubbish and cleaned up everything. I even vacuumed.

I then swapped over the suspected bad injector into the next one along to see if the problem pursued it. I did test the injector via powerpack and it seemed to be working.

Fired the car up and it sounded as before and it was the same cylinder that was the problem! 😔 Soo.. That meant it wasn't the injector.. on a whim I swapped out the coil pack.. and guess what? IT FLIPPING WORKS FINE NOW.

So.. even though I had lean conditions it was because the coil pack had failed.. which does make me wonder if the ECU saw a problem with the resistance in the coil pack maybe and didn't inject fuel??

Either way.. Very happy!

Thanks all for the help and advice. I gave up trying to remove it and swapped on my other deckled with the Veilside spoiler. Seems to be held on with 4 screws, two of which I can't get to at all - suspect it may have been factory fitted but who knows now!
