Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

Pitstop practice from Brands, was a bit of a laugh. Took a while to get back into the swing of it............

I know you've got it spot on but have you thought about using those like elastic straps from the harness to the roof? Like the do in gt cars might make it easier.

Right, Silverstone regs are in.

Scrutineering 9.00am

Qualifying 10.20

Race 14.30

Camber and tracking done and all spanner checked, just waiting for the correct wheel studs to arrive and we are ready.

And top marks to Jay for spending a long time configuring dash. I would have smashed it to pieces a long time ago.
 
Nice one. Glad we've got an afternoon race. With your new power are you guys hoping for a better result than normal here? (as this circuit doesn't really favour a clio I mean).

Where did you come last year?

Was hoping to make Silverstone but the Mrs decided to book my Christmas present to her on that sodding Saturday, so I'll be watching her riding a four legged 1hp....errr....horse instead.

Are you two racing at Donny this year? That's the other one I wanted to try and make.

you running the race tech dash2 aswell now? what do you think?
Nope, we run the Dash4Pro, little diddy thing. Cant really comment yet as weve not seen it. Was steering wheel mounted but with helmet on you cant see it without looking down. Not great idea at 115mph into Paddock Hill Bend

Weve relocated the RaceTech dash to the top of the dash so we can actually see it.

Very pleased with how it came out and as Tony says i spent ages configuring it to display what we want, when we want. Its a very customizable thing an takes a while to get your head around. Still not 100% done with it as ive got to program all the oil pressure and water temperature alarms in.

I take it it can show whatever readings you want Jay?
Pretty much yes. Its got an interface to read data from the ecu. If we had a data logger it could predict lap times etc but were just using it as a dash. Revs, coolant temp, oil pressure and pit lane speed. Its got 2 sets of built in shift lights too
