Me neither James but once I'd put the clips together and started to play around with the gopro studio it sounded ok, if it was the full race in its entirety then a big no no.
Well that didnt go to plan,
Only addition to that list are the throttle bodies, so just need some time to put everything together. will update soon when the car is out of the garage
Take it off and get it coated Russ, that's going to produce a lot of heat at7k for 15 minutes.
Shouldn't need a heated screen though!
Looks pretty but as you say, not sure it will make much difference till you get your other engine together.
No Tom,
I'm keeping standard bottom end for next year so dont want to push too much on cam duration and as the average RPM will be mid 6500, The car still needs to be reliable.

Haha,
On a serious note, My tyres that I've been using are way beyond what should be used, They should of been change 4 meetings ago so this wont help, Like I've said in other posts, To keep up in the first couple of laps I need to drive the car at 11/10th, this is due to the lower power, If...
Thanks Morgan, Watching the video back and wondering about the noise" can you guess what it is yeeeeet?"
I drove Snetterton in June so had to find my legs again round Corham and almost re learn the corner, Looking back at the crash footage its very clear to see now that I was just carrying...
Thanks mate,
In qually I took to the grass and caught a rutt sideways and put the geo out. When we checked it there was a very small amount of play in the bearing so suspect this is the noise heard on the camera. Although it sounds terrible on the audio the noise was not heard by myself inside...
Race 3 Report
This by far the least eventful race of the day, starting in 9th position myplan was to gain a couple of places and keep out of trouble, I was never going to catch the 240BHP Hondas at the front but just need a race where I didnt throw it all away on the first lap!
This I did...
I work the tyres quite hard on the green flag lap Russ, When I ordered the AST's we went with something different to the Norm spring rate wise so perhaps its a little too stiff on the rear,
The car performs better after 4 laps and am nearing top laptimes with what in reality is near standard...
Thanks Andrew, Its taken me a lot of hard work and trial and error getting the car to where it is now, Just need more power!!!!!
My JMS inlet set up is for sale if you didnt have the funds to go down the throttle body and Stand alone ECU set up/
Its a turbo'd 1.3 overhaed valve engine James,,,,, Goes like stink in a straight line but cant brake or corner for toffee,,,,, His mate last year got banned from the club for the exact same car, but at least this guy keeps it on the tarmac!
Yeah, its comical,
He came over to me after race 2 with a backhanded apology as to why he holds me up every corner, Then asked me why it doesnt handle or brake very well.........
Main reason is that he's squeezed 280BHP out of a 1.3 over head valve engine that was never meant to hit those...
As promised Here is my Race 2 report
Once again starting 7th on the grid meant the inside line for Riches, Everyone was a little less eager this time so cleanly through and up to the hairpin, Coming past an MR2 before Palmer but not quite in front to take the racing line I had left myself too...
Wow, Not updated this for ages!!!!!!!
I wont play catch up but will put the latest Snetterton stuff up, The try to keep this going with updates over winter
Race report from the Track Attack all comers season finale,
Got to the circuit for mid day on Friday to set up camp and get everything...
You done a great job Andrew, All 3 races finished in a decent position, you know what they say, "to finish first,, First you have to finish"
I was on a mission in race 2 Andrew and wasnt going to hold any prisoners, I'd dropped back to last place on the first lap after being pushed out wide by...
