Thanks very much, I really appreciate it mate. If ever a reason to join our gang, it's proven here! I'll also take your photos to work tomorrow, to copy.

We will check everything before we set off! And hopefully deal with the heat issue. I was going to ask Kev if he could lend me his gadget to plug in to the ecu, to see what's going on. If he doesn't mind, can you read the info it gives?

Can you repeat all that in a language a double glazing salesman would understand :-) So, as we are reading 0.4 to 6.8, you'd say there was an issue? Even though that goes when the engine is started? We took the reading off the top of the suspension, and the head, so I'd have thought they were...

We did that, and that's how we found the residence. But it was intermittent. And only showed up when the engine was off. As soon as we started it, ip the reader went to 0.00. And is it amps, or volts?

Ow, and on the positive side, since we changed the Cam sensor, we tested it again and got it up to 227.9bhp! Just need to make it work now!!

Okay, shocking day today! Track day at Blyton Park (which is a great track,moor those that haven't been). Two things to check: firstly that we cured the missing issue, secondly to test the amount of fuel we use in a 15 minute race. Failed on both accounts! Ten minutes in to the first session...

To be fair,mothers are already painted, so can't see it making much difference. And I don't really go fast enough to to generate that much heat:-)

I might bring the parts with me this weekend, and then you can tell me what I'm missing:-)

Do you have a link?

How easy did you find the fit @sonny172cup ? I think I've got all the bits, but I'm sure Digger mentioned a certain part that you need, that I wasn't sure I had. I've got the rack, a knuckle thing and an excuse connection thing with a nob on it to alter the stiffness (I think)

Hi, no mate. It's my daughters birthday, and I've been told the locks will be changed if I miss another one! I'm at Silverstone this weekend, and all been well at Castle Combe (even though it's miles away!)

Hi Josh, If you and your pal want to pop over to Wakefield, feel free. My car is a class A, and I will happily show you what we have done to it.

I'm converting mine to EPAS after Silverstone. Think most have done it.

Welcome Scotty, I'm also a Tarc racer. This my first season, and am loving it! They really are a friendly bunch of people, and always willing to help. If you are ever in Yorkshire, feel free to pop in and see my car. I'll not be at Outlon, but hopefully see you next year

I think the whole thing about brakes is a debate to be had. Either way, I'm going to strip them down, clean them and give them a lick of paint! They are rusty as hell!

I think they are the same pads as me. @Ant_Smiggy recomended them from memory. And if not, I went for what he suggested :-).

And I have the scales with me every race weekend, if you wanted to borrow them.

Ha, no mate. If it makes you feel any batter, I also have no idea how I got down to that weight! I actually got one of the corner scales and weighed myself, and it courted I'm a fat bugger, so it must be right :-)

Also, forgot to mention that I've had it on the scales. Not bad, I don't think :-) this was with 20 litres of fuel! We did get the corners within 3kg at the front, but couldn't get any closer than 13kg at the rear. A couple of shot from Cadwell when it was going, and I've had the van...

Ages since I've updated, and as its a quiet Sunday morning, I thought I might as well! Okay, not really changed much on the car, just been getting used to it. Didn't do too good at Cadwell last time out though, as had real trouble with fuelling. Qualified in 7th, but could have been quicker. I...

You should come and have a go in mine James, see what you think. Are you at Cadwell?

Some work to do then! I could have found a couple of seconds on a clear track, but not that much more!

Yes, I noticed that! Only bought the fronts. £197 plus VAT. Not sure what they are made of, but the should outlast the discs!

We had about 6 or 7 15/20 sessions, so loads of track time. No, I didn't play around with the set up at all. It felt spot on from the first lap, so didn't really want to change it. I need to stop doing things to the car and just get used to it. The new brake discs made a hell of a difference...

Been a while since my last update. Anyway, the car has been going fantastically. Raced with Tricolore guys at Brands, and loved it. Ended up 10th overall, which isn't that impressive, but I'm happy with it. It's only my 4th time out and I've loads to learn. Anyway, changed the break pads last...

Yes, after I put the picture on, I realised it was an old post!

This is mine. Took a while to get my head around the fitting, but once we got it, it was a straight forward fit

Leaving Wakefield at about 6.00. expecting to get there for between 10 and 11.am

Dave, I appreciate all the input, and din't think you were doing anything other than helping. I've only really spent on things that I felt needed doing. We didn't know anything about the engine, so just fro reliability, needed to check it. the suspension work was on advice from everyone. Other...

Not anymore mate, I've lost a load of weight!! Nearly as skinny as you;-)
