Skint as fook at the mo, gotta get my finger out and fit the parts i've got lying around, too the car.
Once iv'e sorted the step on the drive (make it smoother!) the coilies will be fitted.
And maybe the DP and TIP at the same time.

karting Endurance...? hmmm id have to check the specifications of the seats. id hate to damage myself trying to prove a point

also i have noticed at previous visits to supakart in newport that my top end was severely affected due to my weight and therefore was unale to compete with lighter, more agile drivers

due to this...weight restrictions must apply, if u are under my weight, u must take on extra to race

Like Donkey kong on Mario Kart!

I went karting and mini motorbiking in chippenham a few years back, and this girl who was like a pencil with jeans on whooped everyone ass! Because she was so skinny, she was lighter!

We got karting organised on SW-CC people. 10 quid deposit for a 2 hour endurance.

Got my header tank this morning dave.

 

[davidol]

bar steward, how much?

 

[Jonzy]

Dave, you still wanna run your car at westec?

Ive got a few problems that if I cant sort out by tommorow morning I wont be running, can take my place if you want?

 

[davidol]

yeah i can do matt? u paid your deposit? I'll obviously sort you out, whats up with the car mate? you in the morning session or afternoon?

 

[Jonzy]

Morning, deposit is all paid up. Random_bob

Walking to the car this morning, noticed that the fmic had dropped. Looks to possibly be the mount has snapped! Ive also got the car needing to be booked into westec for them to finish the exhuast. Unless the fmic is fixed then the car is going no where, I really cant be bothered with the shitty thing anymore.

Dodgy forge tip, snapped forge fmic mount and the blowing exhuast. Not bad for 1500 quid isit!

 

[ljbinks]

what's up with the exhaust?

 

[Jonzy]

Blowing from every joint, sounds terrible on boost.

 

[ljbinks]

what's a forge fmic mount? or where?

 

[ljbinks]

get under the car and tighten it up then

 

[Jonzy]

forge front mount, not my car in the pic.

I think the left hand top mounting tab had snapped at the weld on mine, cant understand why and couldnt be bothered looking at it further this morning in the car park.

Tried tighetning the exhuast up, no joy.

 

[PhilW]

Is it deffo snapped matt? Just pull the S grill upawards and have a look, could have been a nut come loose. Mine did.

 

[ljbinks]

how the hell did that snap?

 

[The_one]

Vibrations could of weakened the weld over time

 

[Jonzy]

I didnt have time this morning to have a real look, but im sure both the mount looked like they were still in place and bolted. I couldnt see the top of the IC core to check, will have a look when I get back later tonight.

The mounts in that pic look a hell of a lot more beefy than mine!

 

[PhilW]

Go and look now, just pull the S grill upwards and its in front of you.

Yeah those mounts are different to mine.



Oh yeah, swapped my BMC back to the dynatwist last night, pulled 152g/s with it on, 147 with the BMC.

Got a boost leak tho.
