I guess it's 7 years now that I have been transforming BB, with the ultimate goal to put a venerable British roadster on track! That finally happened recently! Pure magic! Some details are here:

After a winter spent converting my converted suspension from MG wire wheels to Panasport aluminum rims, I try an autocross...and nothing falls off!

Just as I thought I had managed to adapt my new Panasport wheels to my S2000 suspension, I developed clutch trouble. Hopefully, my master cylinder replacement journey will help some others in a similar spot:

Yes, autocrossing has ripped the splines out of my wire wheels. I finally gave up and adapted to aluminum. That was no easy project! Details are here:

Happy driving!

In which my new engine and autocross habits, together with father time, eat through my wheel splines! On the way to lug nuts now!
