No worries treacle. People are staying, and we'll probably head somewhere for a Brekkie so I'll get your number off Nick / Mike and give you a shout.

Corona and BBQ Chicken day?

I reckon we'll have the old engine out by midday, so we can pop to Tesco and get some chicken for the BBQ. Want me to bring the oil drum to feed everyone?

Another good weekend spent on the flamer :) Had a few people over to help get the engine out of the flamer, followed by the obligatory winter bbq and then beers and food in Caversham. Was great to catch up with lots of people, and I appreciate the help guys, so thanks @Budgie @Nick172Cup @Rob @Tim. @TimR26 @Fletcher @Christopher. @Luke @iOllieSM for a good weekend.

Photos (apologies for the poor quality Iphone ones):

A motley mixture of metal. Some good, one bad ;)

All in all, a great day with good progress made. Rob has sorted me out with a powdercoater for a few bits, and the box is off to Gripper for a refresh. I need to ask Mike Woodford to compression test the new engine, before it will go in early January hopefully :)

We'll have another one in January mate to put the new one in, so if you're about then it would be good to catch up. I'll let you know the date after Christmas!

Quick question on the mapping, I take it I just use the RS Tuner to overwrite the K-Tec "map"?

Look at Fletch ffs!

I'd be scared to walk past him in the street. Incase he started shouting at me or stabbing at me with dirty needles.

LOL @ Flecth! Looks like Rory McGrath!

Hero beard Fletcher

What's the plan with the engine mate? Just seen it's out :S

The dead engine is going to become my 'practice engine' for me to practice rebuilding / taking apart. Then it wil become a coffee table for the study lol! I've sold the 438's and I'm more than likely going to supercharge the new engine in the future :)

Good to see you mate, your flamer was looking well. I'll get the map / license off Henk and then we'll get the map on your car :)

Cheers chap, appreciate it. Been a long road but it's a keeper and I'm trying to document as much as I can in here so I can remember what it owes me. :)

Fletcher - No worries dude, you guys are more than welcome whenever. Can you let me know what your old man thinks of that brickwork please! :)

The beard is epic. Do not shave it until the summer!

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'

Charging!

Good plan and good choice.

SC > TC :cool:

Cheers Sam. To be honest, before I charge it I want a good summer of tracking first. Due to the engine failing last summer I didn't get to do as many tracks as I want. So a summer of running it standard, then I'll be a plum and throw more money at it to charge it :)

You booked on Bedford? Will be good to meet, that's the target date for finishing the flamer :)
 
Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'

Good stuff.

I'm planning to get out and do a lot more next year on track so I'll hopefully see you about.

Currently booked in for Bedford in Feb and I'm going to aim to also do Cadwell, Anglesey, Brands, Oulton and Mallory I think.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'

The same tracks I'm aiming for, plus Knockhill if i can get a summer trip to Scotland in :)

More than likely see you on a few tracks then!

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'

Sounds like your making good progress with this oli!

Cheers Mark, I really want the roll centre kit, but I really can't afford it yet due to buying new engine etc. :( It's on my list though ;)

You taking a ring trip next year? As I'm hoping to go but maybe short on chums to join me ;)

There may be a possible solution to your requirements mate. Doubt anymore rc kits will be done though unless there's substantial interest.
I'll be definitely taking a ring trip next year mate, as long as my wife's not in the pudding club! Lol! We are hoping to move as well so 2014 could prove to be a busy year! If I go though the aim is an 8:15 or better. If that lap time doesn't show itself I'm weighing the car in for scrap! Flol! More than welcome to join me on a jaunt over there though if it's a go.

@mark123 - cheers mate, you'll have to join us when the new engine goes in in January if you're free. I'll PM you when the date is sorted. :)

How is the racecar? You racing next year?

@Paul172sport - no worries, hope everything went ok. There will be phase 2 mid January. Just got to boot the wife out again :)
