2014 Season Opener

OK lads, remember that 2014 is the year of ‘use it’.

With that in mind how about Tue 12th March noisy day at Donington as a season opener?

Would love to, but I’m not committing until the morning of the 12th!!

Nice. Hmmm Spa. Would be good to do some Euro trips. That Iberian trip in Feb 2015?

Hmmm I might go for this even though at anything approaching full beans my car will be waaaaaayy to loud for Bedford. I need to dial myself into the car though and Bedford is good for that…

slacken the throttle cable off :smiley:

Ok, Donny on the 12th our official aim date for testing the new engine in the orange car …

Looking forward to seeing you and the car Andy.

We’ve not heard much about your plans with the orange car…?

Been mad busy all round last few months … now moving to Melbourne to add to the fun …

Well as you know we broke the gearbox at Anglesey last year and that was due to running it in 5th on the rollers with a boost creep problem which we didn’t control which in turn was probably caused by a new inlet manifold that didn’t flow enough to the wastegate.
So decided to try a few things and then found that one cylinder was down on compression and inspection we found some corrosion in the wall of the block … probably caused by water sitting there or something while it was hanging around … anyhow decided then to re build the engine which took some time … then the guy handling that decided to drive it without the steering wheel on and it found a curb and damaged a few things …
Rebuilt engine did quite well on the rollers getting an undrivable 450BHP “line” … curve would not be the right term for it … so took the plunge after advice from SeanB and JDS and had a complete new manifold and exhaust system built … that is just finished but now need to re run all the pipes and hoses and then fix up the curb damage … two new TMR’s, spoiler, subframe, spliiter, etc etc

So Donny would seen a good opportunity and gives everyone a focus to get the damn thing finished … or at least running correctly

Me too. Just a case of a nip, tuck and smarten up though over the next two months. New pylons, maybe a splitter, other little bits and bobs and a funky new paint job! Oil leak will hopefully be resolved fingers crossed :angel:

Assume you are all talking about the Tuesday 11th BAT unsilenced day. Don’t see anyone actually booked on yet?
Still plenty of availability.

I will, Will :smiley:
