Thanks Adam! There must be half your stock room on my car by now ;)
Yes that was my understanding, it would only be a one off and quite a good way to get the car back into racing I thought but we will see how it goes :)
I bet its a nice loom though Mark and done properly!
Best of luck for getting it sorted racing on the GP circuit would be awesome.
Megane Trophy as in
If so best of luck they are so bloody expensive to run but i'm sure you'll of done the maths :)
Ahhh thanks for that :)
Fingers crossed it will be, it certainly felt good yesterday round the industrial estate lol
I think it will be a test day which is basically the same as a trackday but they have to be scuitineer suitable race cars with no passengers. Spectators are still allowed...
Thanks everyone for all the kind comments :) Today didn't quite go to plan, I took the car over to Will Pedley Racing in Leeds who have helped me over the last month or so with advice on a few aspects of the wiring and the plan for today was to get the car running and modify the base map to get...
Yes it really does! Doing the wiring has really dragged on as its so time consuming and then to finally finish it and test all the buttons and fire up the car is amazing. The car has run a few more times now :)
The car finally runs!!
Finished off the connectors today and then have been struggling with what seems to be a slightly ill battery but then the car fired into life only for about 4 seconds before dying but still good to hear it run after all this time :) I had to load a base map up for a 172...
Depends on the quality of the loom really, the EC1 (Specialists components Typhoon) came in 2 different cases a metal one or the moulded plastic one with the latter being the more recent.
Its a really good ECU and specialist components are very helpful. The dongle is 98 quid new. I'd guess...
Thanks mate, Really excited to drive it again! No its not mate, too many expensive wearable components to use on the road unfortunately such as rose joints, dampers etc that just aren't really designed for road use :( Yes i'm really looking forward to it actually, I always enjoy learning new...
Cadwell
Got 5 days until the entries for the race at Cadwell close, I need to have the engine running and compression test it in the next 5 days just so I know the basics are okay and then I have 2 weeks to shake it down and test/learn round Cadwell. It's going to be very tight as I've just got...
I quite like them, order book for the UK racecars starts on the 24th June and delivery starts in September will be good to see some in the flesh. Launch is tomorrow at Oulton for them.
Lol thanks for reading it all thats some dedication :)
Yes thats my point mate everyone knows who built the car but anyway nothing will change lol :)
Thanks Mick very kind of you :) Will have to pop in with it and say hi next time i'm down at Donington!
Thanks Rhys :) Hope yours is coming...
I originally called TDF from this forum in August 2011 the car build was invoiced in August by Track group who Matt described as they work together etc so I didn't have any issues with this at the time (Maybe my fault) Then in December when the car was taking longer and longer to get ready I had...
Glad you all got back okay :) Yes PK is epic!
Haha sounds like fun!
Been a really good night thanks, only got 5 laps in as track was closed for 40 mins while they cleared up an oil spill at the fox hole. The swifts are actually really good fun, felt a bit underpowered on the first lap at just...
We saw this car in the supermarket carpark yesterday in Adenau and was wondering what had happened to it looked like the driver was okay from what we saw.
It was TF day yesterday mate!
Yes was a day with a lot of people out mainly a big rush around lunchtime 7 closures I think and day was cut...
Not really yet, I offered them a possible settlement which was overly generous from me, but it got thrown back in my face telling me they didn't actually build the car it was Trackgroup so my problems lay with them. Anyone who saw the thread title originally must of been wrong when it said "by...
You got a few detailed pictures of the loom showing what connectors it has on it? The main problem I could imagine would be where they have got the power feeds and also the fuel pump and cooling fan outputs. If you put some pictures up i'll try and help :)
