I run that powervamp battery in the race car (admittedly its not left connected between trackdays etc) and its fine, it starts the car with no hassle and hasn't gone flat on me yet. For the money, I cant fault it really. -Alex

Probably worth checking you haven't got spigot rings that you can remove for a larger set, the three sets I have in this size use them so I would be surprised if these where any different (one second hand set I bought had 58mm spigots iirc). -Alex

I'll recheck everything just incase. Thanks yea it's a real strange one as the issue happened with pretty much half a tank both times (although it could be a coincidence I guess). and disconnecting the fuel rail and reconnecting sorted it.

I have checked the wiring, and i didn't see anything that looked concerning. Out of curiosity if the fuel pump was packing in would that explain the fuel reading? not questioning what your saying just not familiar at all with fuel systems on cars.

Evening all, Ive had this problem crop up on the last two trackdays now, roughly around the same millage into the day with half of tank burned. In short what happens is the car suddenly without warning looses power and cuts out (if you dip the clutch). Literally like the fuel supply gets cut...

I haven't, speaking with Jay & Tony from Burpspeed, I went straight for the bluestuff as I was told yellow seemed to suffer from fade later into sessions.

I know how much of a bad reputation they have on here, but I really couldn't fault the EBC BlueStuff pads I had in the race car at Llandow, no fade, excellent feel and they stopped the car very well. Prior to these I was running pf97's and to be honest, I haven't lost any braking ability... If...

Thanks :), I really appreciate that. The car had some great comments over the day which makes all the effort that has gone into it even more worthwhile. The picture on the other hand, if you like stuff like that I can send you on pictures I take. The majority come out looking like it lol.

Some great pictures and was nice to meet you on the day :) If I drop you a pm, could you possibly forward me on all the pictures of the race car in high res via email? -Alex

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] Baptism by fire? :) Its going to be the first outing in the race car, the furthest I have driven it is about 100m... and its undergone a full refresh (engine out, suspension off etc) so I am hoping its all bolted back together properly. Only...

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] Can I be second in line please? :)

Best of luck Adam!

So thought it would be worthwhile posting some pictures up as we got the engine and box out of the car this morning. Here is what we where greeted with: Not quite the same scale of destruction as the burpspeed box..... Tony Hunter, but it gave it a good go. -Alex

Correct me if I am wrong (which is highly likely) but as I am not going to remove the flywheel, is there a need to replace the bolts? First time ever changing a clutch so apologies if the above is nonsense :o

Thought it worthwhile to update this for anyone else who has this sort of issue in the future. Whilst loading the car onto the trailer yesterday, the clutch let go, with it fully depressed the car was still moving under its own power. So by process of elimination, it looks like the clutch...

Its very possible, Brake fluid has been changed and my old man went to town with brake cleaner, wd 40 etc (not running any arch liners) so I wouldn't rule that out as a possibility. Another thing that I should perhaps try tomorrow, just leave it ticking over on the drive for 30 minutes or so...
