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...

So had a play with the car this weekend . Got the fire extinguisher serviced for the last time as from 2022 it has to be a 4ltr with min 4 nozzles. Also string lined the car and was surprised that it wasn’t too far out from setting it up from last year. Just mapping left to do early feb ready...

we used to have a korando bloody fantastic 4x4 and was pretty good on fuel aswell. we got a top spec, 1 year old, still with 4 years warranty on for £16000 and as said 2 ton tow capacity.

Well she’s all in and run up to temp with no problems this time Even managed to wire up a knock sensor as suggested by my mapper. Next getting the string line out and check all cambers and toe then off for mapping.

Got some time on the engine tonight after another fast and faultless service from nick at pure motor sport. It back together ready for putting back in tomorrow and testing.

So bit of an update. After a few issues with oil leaks then overheating lost all faith in the engine so have pulled it out and stripped it. (Was built by someone else) . Glad I did as although it has had some big money spent on it the build quality is a bit rough. Found loose bolts cheap water...

no its a omex loom and ecu. to be fair the car has had some front impacts over its life so could be slightly out of shape but was fine on the old mounts. lol

Also fitted a new little upgrade, not sure how much use it will be but thought I would try it. It’s a tyre pressure monitor for each wheel

Bit more progress tonight. Got the engine wired up and a quick test run before connecting the rad back in. All seams good and engine sounds well. Only thing I have noticed is the increase in vibration with the pms mounts, also it sits a bit lower as can no longer fit front gearbox mount but...

on a side note we have just had confirmation we will be joining the british gt championship at oulton park. so that should be a good weekend

We’ll manage to grab a couple of ours on the old girl tonight. Got gearbox fitted , some of the new pms mounts . fitted my sensors and got it in the car. It’s surprising how much more room there is without the standard mounts.

No . Class a is fully modified , but no forced induction (unless original to production car and within Msa regs )and max of 0.5 mm overbore. No sequential boxes. Class b is modified but standard engine , inlet and exhaust manifolds. Class f is production car with no mods. Power to weight has...

You would be more than welcome. what we might lack in numbers we make up for in close clean racing. Also you won’t find a friendlier bunch of people.

no we usually have one late march early april but we still have 2 rounds to be comfirmed yet. I think its between cadwel , Silverstone or malloy

Well After a fantastic season getting runner up in class a and also getting driver of the year I though I would do a thread to help promote track attack race club , and the tricolore trophy which I race in. So car is stripped down getting checked over ready for next years racing . The...
