bought a tasmin which is more or less ready to race next season but the seatbelts have a date up to 2007 can you get them re-checked or do i have to buy new ?
They look ok to me
Another new class C racer?They look ok to me
looking forward to having a go.
Guess i had better pick up some new seatbelts is it demon tweeks or is there anyone other than tweeks ?

well done Ivor, which car did you get?
Steve sumners car it looks like its been put together well just doing a few jobs on it & trying to see what i have could do with speeking to steve if anyone knows what he is doing nowadays.I want to do some track days to see how it goes i dont think its raced since 2004 so it might be miles away from the class c cars!
I bought a 280i to prepare but took the advice from this forum to buy one already done & i am glad just pricing a few bits up was getting expensive.
Got to do my ards & get a race suit helmet etc. im trying to get bits for xmas.

I assume you mean John Sumner. He pops on here every now and again but I think Joo (Trackcar) may have contact info for him. That car put in some very good times on Kumho list 1 B tyres, I would have thought with some slicks and a freshen up it will be a very competitivce car in class C next season. Good luck.
WHen it last raced that car was certainly the quickest of the tasmins, a very strong 2.8 motor and the gearbox ratios modified to make the best use of it.
A well thought out and put together car that one. It should still be in with a shout of the sharp end of C.
John Sumner and that car were our main competitors for the class when we last raced our Tasmin. iirc he managed a 55.5 at mallory on Kumhos !!!
Last time at mallory Sam head who was the quickest tas ( with v6 cossy and slicks) managed
56.8 in qually 55.8 in race 1 and 54.6 in race 2.. with Jes bunces time in a 2.8 car coming in at a 57.

I'm planning on doing a couple of pre-season trackdays at Oulton in Feb / March to run in the engine and gearbox. The car is in a million pieces at the moment but, hopefully, should be back together again by the end of January. I'll let you know when I'm booking if you like, and we could go and have a play.

Ivor - I buy Luke harnesses from Corbeau direct at much lower prices than Demon Tweeks etc offer. The same applies to their seats if you need one.
PM me for details
