so this weekend we were at oulton park which is one of my favourite tracks so off out for qually and after a couple of laps i started to push but a little too soon as span it and wiped out some red and with plastic barriers. kept the car going and set of again but as i wasnt sure if there was...

Check out , track attack race club website for all the info. There is 3 different groups. Class a , fully modified Class e which is standard engine but modified rest. Class f which is production class no mods Great friendly club. Yes was a bit of a brown pants moment but was laughing after.

So first race of the season and was so looking forward to getting back onto the grid. found a bit more power over the winter so was really hoping that i can now close the gap and hopefully go for some wins. Well it was a damp start to the day but the track was mainly dry for qually. with such a...

yes connected with hdmi cable have the updater from msi and updated the bios through that so all up to date as far as i know. cheers

nope , lol. when it first s**t itself it would recongise the m2drive but when i got a new ssd it then wouldnt find the drive so i tried putting the original one back in but still wouldnt find it. i thought it might be something to do with the mother board but was hoping it was just being...

hi hopefully there are some clever people on here that know everything about computers. for xmas i got my son a gaming pc. i went for a hand built one as you get better spec for the money. now i am crap with stuff like this so i got my boss at work to check it out which he did and updated it...

thats fair enough, have you done any engine work before, cambelt change, head gasket . there is plenty of info out there about rebuilding them and if you follow the manuals tightening tensions then you cant go far wrong. the engine i used this year was supposed to have been built by...

hi tony , what series do you race in? do you do your own spanner work on your car? as rebuilding these engines isnt as hard as you think if you are mechanicaly minded. i race in the tricolore trophy with the track attack race club and do all my own work (except mapping as thats whichcraft)...

welcome aboard you will have the best time with us. very freindly bunch and always there to help each other out. what class will you be running in yeh had a reasonable year considering the covid situation. car went great and had mutipile podiums and threw away a first at brands as i buckled...

if you go onto omex website they have the wiring diagrams on there. the omex is a stand alone ecu so runs its own wiring loom which you can get from omex

as said strip the engine you have then you know its all good. fit new rings , relap all valves in , new head gasket kit and fit the 421 cams and you should easy see around 215bhp with your set up. i was running standard engine in tricolore trophy with boddies,421 cams and omex ecu and always...

I run with 2 people in tricolore trophy race series who run them , nick Gwinnet and tony hunter bloody hard to keep up with and they have had no problems with them. nick at puremotor sport is a top bloke and will give you any help you need, get all my spares from there

another vote here for tom at fulcrum motorsport , top lad and top workmanship.

its a fairly easy job but you will need the cam out to make it easier. use a gas torch to heat up the end to burn the locktight. then drill a small hole in the stud and use a easy out to remove it. if there is enough of the stud protruding then weld a nut to it and then remove it that way.

So a little update Managed to get the car into Paul at tpw engineering , #king_tuna1 for mapping and what a job he did. Can’t recommend him enough , really knows his stuff. Ended up with 243bhp and 196ft lbs torque , which is way more than I was expecting. Lots more low down pull aswell. So...
