Thanks, and yes, that would be nice. I will attend Zandvoort in the future as well, but my main track will be Assen since that is only a 30 min drive for me.
So, yesterday it was finally time to take the car out for a drive.
First I gave the BMW a quick wash. It can look good in the silver for a very long time, but when it is clean, it does come out a lot better.
Then right after, I gave the Clio a wash.
After taking it out of the...
Gongrats on the running engine. I can understand how happy you were, as I got my car running again after having starting issues after cutting back the loom. Although I am finished with my loom, it is very interesting to see how you approached it. I figure you need to keep the UCH for some of the...
Today I changed the brake fluid. Decided to go for ATE.
I also wanted to try out my Eezibleed kit, which I had in my garage for a while now.
Also took the opportunity to check my disks and brake pads. They seem to be allright.
Then it was time to check and install my Eezibleed kit...
Same here, but mine is already a couple of months in the garage, and nog I feel the urge to take it out on track.
Did you get to weigh the standard door already? I'm interested in the weight difference.
Welkom, leuk om nog een Nederlandse trackday auto te zien.
Looks like you had a good base to start with, and I am sure the car will be allright. :wink:
Which trackday willen you be attending mostly?
I had some spare time this afternoon, so I changed the air filter and spark plugs.
The spark plugs that came out didn't look to bad, I'm not sure how many kilometers these already have haid.
The new filter did let quite a lot more light go through than the old one.
One thing I noticed...
Received this with the post today, bought it secondhand, so it was pretty cheap. I know the F4R engine is not covered in here, but it can always come in handy in a lot of other occasions.
It's quite thick too, so it should have enough information. :smile:
I also ordered a new set of spark...
I'm keeping both. :tonguewink: The BMW Motorsport will remain silver, and the AC Schnitzers will become dark silver, so that I have some variation and 2 different looks to keep the car looking fresh.
So with the car being pretty much ready for know, I would like to keep it that way, so I focussed on my studies lately. Got on exam coming up shortly so that's my priority for now.
I did buy this though:
I will fit this first, just to make sure it al works as expected, and then get the PMS...
Seems to me that the only function is to prevent air getting into the pressure line. The ones from Tilton etc are also very small, so I don't think it will be an issue. And the ones you are going to use also work very well on a motorbike.
Tonight I did one of the biggest modifications I will ever do on this car.
Tape up some holes. :smile:
To prevent engine fumes etc from entering the interior, I had to block of two holes. In the future I will do some welding on this, but for now I hope this has some function.
I have two...
The list is pretty much done now, just need to change the brake fluid, I think I will put in some new spark plugs as well though.
-Buy two more straps, to strap the car on the trailer, as I only have a pair for the front wheels DONE :up:
-Change the brake fluid
-FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM...
This morning I took out the inner skin of the boot lid.
Saving another 1,485 kg's, making a total of 161,9 kg's.
I also took the car out for a sneaky little test drive. The car is far from streetlegal, so I didn't want to bump in to the police. Just went around the block really to see/feel...
Due to personal circumstances I wasn't able to finish the car in time, nor did I want to attend the trackday on Assen on the 30th of August. Octobre 11th is the next one.
Because my car didn't want to start with the other loom, it got me thinking, and I sent EFI parts an email with the...
That's a really nice looking car, would be a nice upgrade from my 130i. :cool:
Anyway, good news, managed to get the car running again. I'm really happy, put my hands up in the air and everything. :tongueout:
Looking back, it was not even a big issue. The earth cable coming from the battery...
I went to the TT-circuit in Assen this weekend to visit the Gamma Racing Days. It is a free event with different types of motorsport, like motorracing, superkarts (these things are crazy, google them if you don't know), Formula Renault, Supercar Challenge and more. Nico Hulkenberg was there as...
So I received my all intact interior loom.
First I put in on the scale of course, and the difference between the 2 looms is 2,216 kg's.
But, I installed the new loom, hooked up the battery, and noting, still the same. :rage:
I have narrowed down my options now. I have also removed a couple of...
I made an order at the Renault dealer.
And because to change the sump gasket, I need to drain the oil, which needs to be replaced with new oil, along with the filter, the order got a little bigger than just the sump gasket. Good news was, that the oil was not expensive at the dealer. Total...
Not an update on the Clio this time, but I just got back from vacation, so I thought I would post some pictures of the BMW in some nice places. It covered somewhere around 4000 km's in 2,5 weeks, and it's done a great job.
The BMW really comes in it's place on the twisty roads of the Pyrenees...
