Road legal and dissapointed

[carlknight1982]

I knew there would be some teething troubles but i have to admit im devestated. first road legal run in the car, got her upto 55mph and watched the temp gauge hit 105 degrees, WITH the rad fan running! that wasnt the worst tho, I just couldnt get my knees into a position where they were comfortable under the dash, how taller builders fare i dont know! specially spud at over 6ft!

Im going to try to move the seat back a little, but again this isnt the worst issue, the worst issue is the clutch is slipping like a bastard at anything over half throttle above 40mph and forget 5th gear completely.

Plans for the weekend are to fit a new thermostat to help with air locking problems and hopefully cure the overheating, move the seat back if possible to give me a little more clearance around my knees, if not i may have to trim the bottom edge off the dash, and try to adjust the slip out of the clutch but maintain a decent pedal.

all in all not as bad as it could be just a kick in the nuts
