Advancing the inlet slightly isn't that bad. Very unlikely to cause the symptoms you are experiencing so I'd persevere with the air leak theory. Good luck!

The high idle I think possibly points to an air leak. However, I'd also look at the coil pack and leads. Genuine leads are prone to breaking when they are taken on and off multiple times.

If it’s a new build are you certain the timing is correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No not at all. Bring the pipe up into the scuttle on passenger side and tee it off there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got one over each headlight on brackets pointing inwards at fuel rail and two on the firewall each side over the brake fluid reservoir and beside the expansion tank. Then inside the car I have another 4, all pointing into the foot wells Can take a few pics if it helps. Sent from my...

It’s one of many little things you can do to grab 1 or 2 extra bhp. As you know, unless you are rebuilding the engine and having the bottom end dynamically balanced you should keep the harmonic bottom pulley, but no harm in changing the others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bumper is now finished barring some stickers that need to go on. Wrapping it was an interesting exercise and took a lot longer than expected. I'm happy with the finish though, with a new lip fitted plus the refreshed brake ducts. Not perfect but good enough for a race car. I've got...

Done properly it should be stronger than before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should be able to weld that without too much trouble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is no fuel return to the tank on a 182. The pipe you see is a breather from the tank to the carbon canister. You can remove it all the way back to the tank but recommend replacing it with one of these if you do...

Dyno day today and I'm happy to report all is good. Misfire is cured as I'd hoped and other than a bit of tweaking of the map the car made pretty much the same power as back in August. So, next stop Snetterton next Wednesday. Just the bumper to finish.

Ha! Well, firstly it was a night race so the darkness helped show it up and secondly this photo was taken in the pit lane during our driver change so the car was only stopped for about a minute. We clocked it at just over 400 degrees C.

I wanted to get the brakes sorted before the dyno tomorrow so.... After this at Donington at the end of last year Pads came out looking like this And the calipers were, shall we say - crispy! A quick refresh and all ready to go. Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow... In other...

More work to complete the brake ducts today I keep having to remind myself that this is a race car! I could have taken a lot more time with this but I got it to a stage that I think it looks decent enough, will serve it's purpose and should be strong too. So after a few more rounds of...

Been a week of fibreglassing. Fixing the broken brake duct and finishing prepping the bumper for wrapping. (My evenings have been consumed with YouTube, car wrapping tutorials! I'm feeling confident I think) The brake duct was a victim of a fairly heavy excursion into the tyres during a wet race...
