I found this excellent video on how to change your gear set on the LD200 transmission. In this video, the author doesn’t use the dummy layshaft which only changes the rebuild steps laid out in “How to change your gear set on a Hewland LD200” a little. youtube video credits: Adam Fathers LD200 gear change…

and the build continues, albeit much slower than I would like
sigh.. so here I am… I have two piles of parts. My old FB91 swift, now with out an engine, shocks, and transmission and the RF98 that has the frame, sump, radiators, and a few other small bits… I have a lot of stuff to get. overall the chassis isn’t in that bad a shape.…
Bought a new Formula Ford, a Van Diemen RF98, or most of it anyway This is the introduction to the build thread of this RF98 as a F1600 with a kent engine.
parting out my old swift after attempting to change the transmission. After taking a detailed look I just kept finding more damage related to the ongoing transmission issues so it’s just not practical to rebuild, and yeah… that’s the way it is.

First event of the season with AAS Down in Marina. Trying out a new setup and a new VR camera that can take 3d/VR movies.
this is always a fun event to compete in. The course is always large and fast for the high horsepower cars and it’s courses like this that let me explore the limits of my gearing. I had a lot of fun, and figured out a lot of tidbits on my car, driving and I think…
Went to the SCCA autocross at Marina airport this past weekend. Name of that game was more shock tuning.. When I first setup the shocks, I had the initial settings for the rebound and compression backwards so I wasn’t getting the maximum benefit of the shocks with the compression at full soft and the rebound…
