what about raising the rear of the bonnet slightly?
its kept as standard sillouette to keep costs down and to make the cars recognisable. if not for that rule everyone would run big arches, splitters, diffusers and big wings, cars would look a mess
The coolant was overheating in the race when moving but hopefully that is all sorted as made a couple of minor mod's to get more airflow to the rad! Unfortunately the oil temp gauge has only worked once and that was when I was loading it on the trailer lol so I don't have a clue what the oil temps are. I am hopefully going to have that sorted for Oulton though. Do you mean your oil overheats or the coolant mate? Yes Fred has suggested that to me so we will see what the temps are after testing next week and go from thereWas it over heating while moving or stationary? Cooler does help while moving, but mine overheats once returning to the pits. Throttle gets nice and sticky
Will add it to the list!
Then depending on what time i'm done I am planning to go to Oulton and try and get on for the afternoon just to learn the track! Shouldn't be an issue as Bookatrack owe me plenty of creditIt's more a coolant thing with mine. Once needle gets to half way i get a sticky throttle. Cruise control on cable throttle
Make sure there is a passenger seat in it for the ring trip
Had a problem with my cable too so re-routed the other week and its much better and neater now
Don't worry about it Adam and have fun watching your son I hope he does well

Hello John,
I had the same problem on the way home, have you got a back stop for the throttle, if not use the full throttle stop screw on your TB, I reversed this and fitted my own 2nd spring return, you can then adjust the idle, mine runs at 1200rpm on start and when warmed up sits at 1050rpm on idle. the problem is without the back stop and enough spring tension to return the cable just returns to any place. Hope this helps.
Sorry about clogging up your thread James

I didn't realise Jonny had the same tb as you! I remember you modded yours

Yeah back stop is there. I've adjusted the return spring so the pedal fully lifts all the time now
No worries Russ
Indeed

I hope not, I asked for 64mm as I thought that 68mm was way to big !!
Good luck at Oulton James, I look foreward to write up and all the rest who are running, I'm working this weekend and next Sat so can't call across.
