All the Rovers except mine have switched to fuel injection. I've refused simply because as much as I respect the person who says they all did it in period, I've yet to find any evidence. So my car is approximately 40bhp down on the others.

The good thing is that during testing I went quicker. So based on the above I'll still be a slow thing in a slow place but everyone else will be faster.

Hey ho. At least Ken is getting my HTP organised.
Hi Peter,

good notes you publish here, I would be interested to know about the Capri suspension mods, anything to do with Group 2?

On the Rovers, how interesting as all documents I have here from late years of BSCC as well as the comparison with between French and UK cars show the use of Webers and these were what I would call "top of the list" cars.

Are they using the Group A fuel injection system?

5779 Group 1 and later Group A transferred shows only carburettors, 5080 Group A shows only carburettors and only 5078 Group A shows injection but that is from 1983 onwards so what is this based on?

The BSCC rules in period allowed use of homologated items in Group 1 plus the addition of the RAC blue book ruling but how can they use an item if it is the Group A injection that wasn't yet homologated and which all in all was for Group A.

Cheers, Louis.
