Mate you're having about as much luck as I am with the Audi :( I feel your pain..

I Wish ;)

I now know why in F1 they are so keen to tell them to stop and turn it off before it blows LOL. Lesson learned.

I could have saved myself all this hassle and cost had I pulled off the track when I felt the bearing go :quiet:

Bugger. went to fit the cams on Friday and noticed for the first time that two lobes have gone to points :( So I need two new cams as well pooo. Sending them off to CatCams today in Belgium. My lifters are also scored so I will put a new set of those in while I'm at it. As far as engine blow...

So some more pictures for you. A nice shot of the mess you make when you overheat an engine! Dont do it. The piston had hit the head as you can see And knackered the crank too And then bust the piston And the rod for good measure My new engine block BWA £195 quid...

The big build ground to a snotty halt as my rods didn't fit my wrist pins Arrhhhh. Seems they were not ground quite enough. Done now! Chris and I will finish the engine off on Friday this week.

So I have a new head with new seat cuts and my race valves and double springs in it A new block nicely honed A new crank nicely polished New Woosner rings New Arrow rods ACL race bearings Pistons all cleaned up and shiney All my ceramic coating stuff back Leccy water pump BIG build this weekend.

I ran Motul in mine buddy. Will check what type.

I was a moron for selling this car. Not one of my finer moments and ive had zero luck since she went with the new Audi. Nice to see it still living though and the improvements made to it, well done buddy. Hmm makes me want to do one of my all time favorite cars and must do builds Clio V6 race...

What oil are you using in the box Ash?

Id gone from 41st to 19th by the pit and was really enjoying myself and just sort of thought if I ignore it it will cool down ROFL. 7th Sept Tony. Be great to see you. making loads of improvments with this rebuild so should be much better. Ceramic coated Turbo, Mani and downpipe Electric water...

So A brief race report. LOL Saturday the car presented itself with a range of electrical faults that kept changing every 30 mins. Much consternation ensued and also much changing of everything we could think of and then changing it again. I missed scrutineering and then qualifying and...

Hi Guys Am I right on these rings gaps for my woosner pistons? Bore 82.5mm Top ring = .006" x bore at 82.5mm = 0.495" thou Second ring = .006" x bore at 82.5mm = 0.495" thou Oil ring = .015" x bore at 82.5mm = 1.2375" thou is that correct or should that be mm and not thou? taken from this...

She lives Hall switch was round the wrong way oddly. Few small niggles on the loom I.E you cant turn the car off LOL and the kill switch dont work. Nothing that can't be sorted. I am told the engine sounds very sweet. Being mapped now.

It's a scratch head moment Tony..

Won't start, damn. Being investigated. Got fuel pressure Got compression Got sparks

Car is now at Tracktive in Melton. It has 2 bar cranking oil pressure so I'm pleased about that :)

Yes I do have that Lifeline boss for the quick release system but for the buttons I have this system. http://www.summittech.co.uk/ It's a wifi 4 button switch panel, Mine is the 4 not the 4s with the little lap timer on it.

I shall investigate a better solution.

It's always been like that. What would you do craft a solid ally pipe and run it round the side?

Ah oh that's fine it's thick wire reinforced. The white bands have wire under them

In southern speak do you mean the air filter Fred LOL :) Which bit?

We bought it from Belgium buddy. Did a lot of research on it before we drove over there to look at it. It's an endurance spec one. I am out at BH on July 27th and 28th on the GP circuit

Thanks mate. We are out testing the Megane Trophy in August now we have the dumps churns to fill it with fuel :) I shall post pics of that in here also as it's way more Renault than my Audi LOL.

I have one race left in track day trophy which is 175 bhp/ton at wheels including driver. Then I move into team trophy which is 200 bhp/ton at wheels. So if the car weighs with me in it around 1.3 ish then I need about 240 at the wheels max or i'm into lead territory. I didn't want to mess with...

So some more pictures for you. A nice shot of the cams installed with gaps set. I got sick of the sight of these LOL. Hydraulic lifters FTW A finished front end Th heat shield for the swirl pot Passenger side wiring station nd MOTEC My Video 4 box The digital radio...

Ok So Update Chrispy and I had a MAMMOTH weekend on the car starting on Friday night. We finished at 1.45am with the shims ready to got for grinding at 7am in the morning to Miks place RP engineering (my saviour for all things made and grinded) Shims came back at lunch time and then I spent 4...

It is quite unbelievable isnt it. Literally everything on this car was either bodged, broken, worn out, wrong bolts holding it on or just plain damn awfull engineering. I have also learnt all about valve seat cutting and what the optimum width is for race seats and how you arrive at the...

I went bugger it and took the head off and stripped it. Hate doing a job twice, glad I did. The c**t I gave the had too had cut all the seats different widths t**t and had not bothered to do the exhaust ones. What a tired old story eh. Seems like every fucker in this country is a c**t. :banghead:
