MIB Summer Meet #1 2008

This weekend was me and Micke over at Denmark for the MIB Summer Meet #1.

This meeting was one of the best meeting I ever bin at. Everything was very good, nice people, very nice area for the meeting and last the marvellous food, the good price on beer (5Dkr) and all other things to drink.
The meeting was located in a old enormous playground area that was shut down in 91.

Micke on the run :D

There was alot of very nice cars. This Ghia was one of them.

Engine update

Just when I should dive through the gate into Mantorp Park my clutch broke. The good thing was that I was able to drive home without any problem. After some weeks have I still used the car. I did not had the energy to pull it out and verify if it was the clutch or not. I could drive but I could not drive as I wanted ;) After last week Thursday meeting in Läjet I gave up. I could not ever race against a moped.
I pulled the engine out and was prepared on the worst scenarioIt was just the ring that press against the clutch release bearing that was broken. I bought a new Kennedy racing stage II clutch and a Gene Berg street clutch disc.Now when I had the motor down I tock the chance and cleaned it up and made a control on everything. So hopefully don't I have to take out the motor any more time this summer.I also put on some yummy stuff I bought when I was over in USA.

Can anyone see what is wrong with this ring ;) I can and I know what harm it will do :(

The engine ready to be installed again. Now the fun part begin.
