Ok so here’s a short vid with some footage of me having fun with Sean, Ian and Phil.

Sorry it’s only in SD as I only had an old version of iMovie.

My car is clearly down on power but it clearly did not stop me having fun :sunglasses:

I’ve probably got less power than you at the moment Sean, in fact I’m surprised I even managed to get it up the hill into Rocket it’s so sick :wink:

Was thinking about this yesterday Ben, daft question but have you checked oil level? Low oil could be stopping vtec kicking in… Worth a quick check.

24

I mentioned oil pressure but the gauge says it’s okay. Is that not what the low level causes?

Ian :slight_smile:

25

Great driving Ben - very smooth, & all under control :sunglasses:

26

I think a gauge might still show ok pressure in terms of the engine, but that might not be high enough for vtec to work…

I think the recommendation is 1/2 litre over the ‘full’ mark on the dipstick

That goes really well Ben it has got the be the quickest na Honda I have seen. I didnt realise quite how much I was holding you up! :blush:

I need to do some work on mine to improve the handling with a passenger in. I am not sure if its to do with the relatively light spring rates and the amount of body roll I am getting.

Phil

Roll is due to ship’s anchor you call an engine :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Lol, that’s the problem Phil it’s actually charged!!!

You were barely holding me up and it was good fun following you, quite a bit of body roll though as you say. Can’t wait to see the 2.0 in it :sunglasses:

31

I did check oil level guys but I’ll check again.


And thanks Rob, I’ve been working on being smooth and progressive.

:smiley:

33

oops :blush:

I was thinking it must be a bit healthy! :sunglasses:

Pesky I must admit that engine is actually heavier than 4.2 40v v8 I have in my garage!

34

My 2p
Good points:-

  1. The whole idea of a Con memorial day
  2. The weather
  3. The Llangefni crowd
  4. Grellow performing well
  5. Grellow 2 - the rival
  6. good driving standards
  7. Glad i was on A039’s for the trip home

Less good points:-

  1. Missed catching up with a few of the regulars
  2. The pit exit marshall who thought it a good idea to let people out with cars coming down the straight at 90-100mph
  3. As i get older, everyone else gets faster…
  4. Maybe the last time for Grellow…

Ben’s car does look a little down, it’s deffo quicker than mine with a quick motorway drag race but not that much.

37

Some nice pictures there and good weather.Wish i could have made it.

38

Is that strange wooshing noise normal when it should be on Cam? It is drowning out the noise of the SC, maybe an air leak?
