The Racetractor. The End.

[Piggy]

so, FCS!

Got there all fine and early.

Had an ACE position on stand, thanks fellas. Felt I had done my best with my wing display and french flag and french bread and stickers and tash etc...

then a bloody great big crappy LASSA van parked right up tight next to me. Prats. Sod off to japfest with your jap cars. Pillocks.


But never mind. Track time came round and I went out twice with Mrs Piggy and once with Bash. Took it real steady as she was getting hot fast. Took numberplate off after 1st one and that helped a bit (got holes cut behind) then after Bash session, me and ruan decided no, the grill is not required. So removed it.

I then went out on my own and WOOHOO! It stayed under 100degrees and I just kept on going. Track felt real quiet which was nice. Felt like I had it to myself for the last bit which was ace. Nearly lost it into the essess got rather sideways, but all good. I hit 125mph down the main straight before loosing nerve approaching avon!

SO MUCH more potential in the chassis and brakes etc.

Came home fine. I fair victory imo.

Had a bit of an issue towards the end with gearchanges, started on bash's run, turned out I was losing some gearbox oil, nearside driveshaft seal. I did the offside one last week but it obvisouly needs the other doing.
And on way home the offside outer CV joint died!

But I have those parts in my parts store so I will sort them once I get back off holiday.

so the next plan:

Get better air into the rad
Get that oil cooler fitted
Look around for a better rad
Fix gearbox oil leak
fix cv joint
Fit fibreglass bonnet WHEN it arrives.
Find some lighter seats and wheels

Oh and with about 45-50minutes of track time and hooning to Combe and back home, it did 32mpg.

Pretty cool.
