Good to hear she's running again. I thought most people had their sliders on the inside to save loosing them in just such an event.

RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 14-01-2016
Yes...some do. BUT its very common for rain to get in that way. I HAD been contempating it though, more for the smoother look/less wind noise

RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 25-01-2016
Always been like that since the days of interior comforts like carpet
Had to "fabricate" a new bracket though as new battery was bit tall.

RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - adam b - 25-01-2016
Hope you have a bulkhead between you and that battery
Although Google says it's a sealed calcium one. Hmm..
Still not a gel battery...

Looks like he's got a vent tube going out under the floor.

RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Ruan - 26-01-2016
Not what I'd be concerned about, if it was to crack in a crash... What's going to happen!

RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - darrenjlobb - 26-01-2016
It should fail the MOT instantly like that also. Should be sealed with a vent pipe unless sealed gel battery fitted.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 26-01-2016
Has a vent pipe. Passed 3 MOTs.
All...becauseracecar.
Also still better than the one I was running which was peeing acid everywhere and has ruined the paintwork around it!
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - bashbarnard - 26-01-2016
Mot rules are secure battery and wiring. Nothing else.
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - Piggy - 26-01-2016
Lets be honest.
It's a death trap.
That's half the thrill
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - adam b - 26-01-2016
A gel type isn't much more money. Pc680 is about 75 quid. And it's lighter.
I find myself able to go much quicker knowing that my car shouldn't be a death trap tbh...

Hm, MOT rule or not, if you get pulled by VOSA they will screw you for it, I have seen it happen
Legal or not, more to the point its just outright dangerous to some degree....Flying battery is heavy, and even if its not flying dripping battery acid isnt something you ideally want to be dealing with when your upside down in a ditch trying to get out the car...

So your gel battery was 3 times the price of this then. Nope, not much more.

Not sure how it will end up flying!?
Battery acid dripping on me is likely to not be high on my concerns if I am upside down in a ditch.
I understand the concern and usually bacon grinding...but thats as it is...and its twice as safe as it WAS before I replaced it
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - cully - 26-01-2016
MSA rules for competition wouldn't allow your fuel lines
Fuel Systems
5.13.1. Have any fuel lines passing through the
driver/passenger compartment protected and, if
non-metallic, to be internally or externally metal braided
hydraulic pressure hose or fuel lines complying with
FIA specifications.
5.13.2. They may only be joined by screwed sealing
joints or vehicle manufacturers approved joint.
5.13.3. If fitted with fuel fillers in a closed boot, or under
closure, have collector/spill trays incorporated to drain
outside the vehicle.
and as for the battery!
Electrical Systems
5.14.1. Have any wet batteries in driver/passenger
compartment enclosed in a securely located leak-proof
container.
5.14.2. Have batteries duly protected to exclude
leakage of acid and to protect terminals from short
circuiting and producing sparks
5.14.5. Have the battery earth lead, if not readily
distinguishable, identified by a yellow marking.
and to be honest I am surprised at the likes of FCS and the likes letting cars onto track without going through a basic scrutineer excluding noise test
it will be only a matter of time before they do i believe
RE: 2.1GTd...The Racetractor - bashbarnard - 26-01-2016
Hmm I should really sort mine to be fair but I said that a year ago and the cars being broken up soon. Like most things though mot rules are minimum requirements doesn't make it legal and safe. I might invest in a proper battery box for the next one.
