For anyone interested - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?595131-Mk1-Track-Car-Shell-Full-8-Point-Cage-Spare-Panels-Logbook-Included
Was a good weekend... just needs a bigger audience IMO. The video has made it look like it was REALLY busy, when it wasn't really. Food/Drink was extortionate as I expected, even after they continually made a point on their website and the DW forum that they 'would not rip people off for...
Well, its been a fun 3 years!

Its 170odd bhp. 160odd lb/ft. Does 159mph on the limiter in 5th.
Im breaking it because its worth more in bits. As for whats next... well wait and see. Might start breaking it this week as there isnt really any trackdays I want to do in the next month or so.
It will be Turbo and lighter than...
Really good fast flowing circuit, ran a single seat in the morning and two seats after lunch. I had alternator problems yet again, but managed to sort that at lunchtime thanks to someone having a spare. A couple of clips from throughout the day:
Nah, definately not. Done it to death now, and everyones done the same lol.
Something a bit (well alot) more custom with a special engine... Will have to see when the time comes....
I will more than likely be there with the Mk1, and BrenRogers in his 172. I will confirm 100% this evening after I've swapped drive shafts around and finished a few other bits.
If we do I take it that its just 1 more person for it to drop down to £35?
In hindsight I should have fitted an aftermarket ECU from the start and it would have saved a lot of hassle...
Buuuuuttt I didnt and dont see the point now when im going to be breaking it at the end of the year to start something new!
Nah, some part of it has shorted inside due to the alt putting out like 20v probably! Its completely dead now...
Yeah, I've got no chance of decoding another and getting it back before the weekend so Andrew is kindly lending me his for Donington, then I'l see what to do after that....... I've...
Well from what it seems the injectors must be individual, as it started, idled and ran completely fine on another ECU just then, without swapping anything over from what was there already, i.e. all my injectors and old ICV.
Tried my ECU on Adams car, does not start. Sooooooo, its the ECU...
Yeh. Its just the same as whats happened every single time when the emulator has failed, I.E. the immobiliser is active. Fuel pump primes........does not run when cranking. No spark and no injectors. Pretty much the same as when the TDC sensor is not working, but I know it is fine as its only...
Baaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it wont even f*cking start now. Cranks and cranks and cranks and cranks, the usual.
I had taken another (3rd) coilpack down to try out too, but couldnt even get it running on the 'working' one first.. Could not find my spare injector set either, looks like someones...
Heading down there to try my spare injectors shortly, not sure if any of them are any good mind... Il let you know!
Yeah, as above :)
Its unedited, I had just left the Gain setting as it was on the camera. With it being the 1080p when you plug it into the computer you can configure how it...
Nothing is EVER simple.....
Following on from the alternator fault, I took it back and got it fixed under warranty last week. Next was the ECU, I thought it might just be the emulator, so Andrew Cooke kindly sent me one of his spares to try out and see if it would run. It came and i put it onto...
Well it did 100odd miles to run it in initially, then and around 150-200 track miles at 6.5krpm+ over two track days with the limiter set to 7800rpm, runs nice. Old engine made 172bhp/165lbft @ TDF, this one feels the same if not stronger so id hope for about the same at RST...
Dave with the...
Posted this over on overclockers but this subforum seems to be more active in getting replies!
After an idea of what people think I should get parts wise for a new base unit - capable of rendering video easily (i.e. not having to wait 4 hours to render 12 minutes of 720p on a P4 3.2ghz). The...
