Sorry - no point in going backwards! ![Cheesy](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) 1994 was the car's peak. The Schley's wouldn't 'unchop' Lightning Bug II to make it look the way it did when it first appeared... ![Cheesy](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

The plan is, indeed, to put the car back to just the way I raced it in 1994 – 2165cc pull-through 48mm Dell and all. No Mercy Racing. ![Smiley](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I think I've got the original turbo modded 48Dell and inlet manifold lying around somewhere ... Regds

Really? The engine was sold to Ken Blomer and then made its way to Natasha Garcia, complete with the carb and manifold etc, and was then sold to Russell Ritchie a couple of years ago. Unless you know different, of course! ![Huh](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Did "Flat Attack" run the same engine /carb . ??
I bought this carb a good few years ago and was told after I got it that it had originally beem on a Keith Seume racecar. Sorry for causing confusion .. am just trying to help.
I remember the Jon Rathbone built "El Ninjo" and that Natascha had the engine extensively rebuilt and that she had also mated it to a Mendeola transmission. No idea what became of car or engine after that altho I contacted her a couple of times trying to buy the Mende.

No problem! Yes, Flat Attack had the same engine and carb – I simply transferred it complete over to No Mercy. Natasha still has her car, with Mendeola, but sold the engine to Russell. It now sits in pieces in Aberdeen. I know it had a new crankcase when Ken Blomer had it, but have relatively recently learned that it now has a flanged crank. I have no idea why the crank was changed for, as far as I know, the engine was never blown up, or whatever. I wonder what else has been changed... By the way, here's a link to what happened to Natasha's car: http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=print&thread=66762Not sure where the carb and inlet manifold you have came from but I know I did pass a new inlet manifold over to Pete Roberts, but I never used it on the car. As for the carb you have? Who knows!

I think I know what happened to the gearbox! When Lee Darby had the car, he used a big type 4 motor (off Paul Jackson IIRC) and at some point he had a flywheel failure - the centre of the flywheel broke freeacross the five bolt and five dowel holes. I suspect that the mess you can see is due to the flywheel floating around!

I think you're right! I lost track of the car after I sold it to Frank in Holland. I know Lee took the car to Jon Webster for the chassis updates. Anyone have an e-mail address for the Craigs?
