Another great weekend of racing in the Tricolore Trophy at Oulton Park. Saturday morning brought a cold damp and extremely foggy circuit. Pleased to qualify 3rd as it was very slippery and i didnt want to push too much. Race1. Got a good jump off the line but couldnt find a way through the 2...

@@Josh Think quali is 9.25 and race 1 is 12.30 and race 2 15.30. Roughly, approximately, from memory as i dont have the timetable to hand. Russ

Stop it! Russ

Sold it as I didn't have the time or budget to finish it as I'd of liked. New projects coming for next season but all French for the Tricolore Trophy. Russ

Had my share of dramas this year so nice to just check it over and be done with it! Russ

Not a lot going on as I wasn't racing at Combe last weekend. Next out in just over 3 weeks at Oulton Park. However I'm away on holiday for a week and then away working for 2 weeks so needed to prep the car this week. Got all the usual stuff done, fluids checked, fuel done and had it on the ramp...

You'd be surprised how much they move even with the pms kit on there, the geo is out on mine every time it gets checked. Russ

There's more oil on my drive than in my cars. That particular patch is from a mini digger from Tuers that leaked hydraulic fluid everywhere! Russ

Ooh looks nice! Russ

Race 2 was good fun, looking forward to Oulton park on the 3rd October. Russ

Lots of wiring to come out! Russ

Lol I'll remember that next time you park it on the Apex! No harm done apart from some chips on the wheel. Russ

Look forward to seeing the details. Russ

Its effectively just a saxo/106 pump with custom lines. Very similar to what my old x65 cup racer ran, located in the same place under the off side scuttle. Russ

Saw the car up for sale Mark, whats the new project, x85? Russ

Maybe just the proximity to that many southerners was upsetting the car, normal service will resume at Oulton on 3rd October! Russ

Never ever had a problem before at any track but I wasn't the only one this weekend. Russ

You know me Andrew, ever the diplomat! Russ

Our 'powers that be' are a bit lacks on that sort of thing. He does normally run in another series but would be nice for him to run the graphics if he's going to run with us again. Russ

Just back from an eventful weekend at Silverstone in the TARC Tricolore Trophy. Such a great club with great members. After the last race weekends problems i wanted to make the sure the new engine was healthy before getting to Silverstone soit was on the dyno at TDi North on friday, some small...

Yes are definitely be at Oulton. Russ

Yeah I'll text Kev, remind him to bring his lead/laptop with him. Russ

Standard bottom earth strap is still on mine + some 16mm2 cable from the oe earth point next to the passenger headlight to the gearbox mount cradle on to the engine block above the thermostat housing. Russ

The reason the high resistance might disapear once running is it maybe picking up a ground through the ecu once switched on or something. If the fault went away when the jump leads were clipped all over the place then just replicate that in a neater more permanent fashion. I can do it at...

No need. Only thing you need to measure is resistance (ohms) between the engine casing and a known good earth if it's not very close to 0 then you've got issues. It's irrelevant if engines running or not. Only other thing to check is there's no issues with your battery cut off if it breaks the...

That's why I always over 'bond' everything. Easy way to check that though. Couple of jump leads clipped on the engine/gearbox to a known good earth or even battery terminal to eliminate that. Are the factory earth cables still present, main one being the one on the front of the subframe...

Oil and filter changed and proper oil put in. Oil cooler fitted and piped up. Spanner checked the car and is pretty much ready to go. Russ

No epas crap on mine! Cup racer style setup with electrically driven hydraulic pump and standard rack. Russ

Welcome aboard Scott, saw your post on Tarc forum too. I'll be at Oulton park too so come and say hi and have a nosy at the car, class A Clio too. Russ
