Great project - excellent read...
You might want to use an external bluetooth GPS receiver for the Racechrono software.
In most cases the internal GPS receiver is not updating fast enough resulting in uneven/non flowing linies when using the graphs in the software.
....Or so im told - i have had the opportunity to use the software yet myself...

Jay you can tell me all about your new edition to the family!
ITB'd MK1
think you'll find the 90mm trumpets are too close to the airbox lid mate. Will fit, but be restrictive

Looking good today at combe. Dont know if you had problems or just taking it easy out on track, but seemed to be struggling against the Megane.
Was going to come speak to you, but seemed busy.

I thought it was pretty even with the Megane tbh. He was coming off the corners well (LSD) we were on old/well worn tyres and he could drive.
You got to remember that that was the first time we had driven the car EVER! and our first trip to Combe.
We wern't there to 'own' everyone but to shake the car down and get some laps on it before racing at Brands in 2 weeks. It was a worthwhile trip as it highlighted a few smal issues.
Plus the alternator was dead in that sesson and the miniscule battery we have was almost flat

Today was its first run out in the dry and yes we were taking it fairly steady.Its only a track not a race which some people seem to forget.Also we used it for testing mainly just to check suspension set up etc,all in all a good day.Thank's Matt at Stealthsport for the day.
clio went very well around the track , was going to come and give ya a push when you stalled in the pit , you wasn't far behind the meggy around the track either , almost seem'd the same as it wasnt pulling away from you and you werent over taking , the back end on the clio kept sliding when you were going into the quarry corner , some very good driving from both of you though

thought you wernt pushing it. Seemed to drive very nice. Who was it who got very sideways around quary on the first lap? That was epic to see! lol

er that were me, rear tyres very cold. Kind of playing with it to see what it would do
Id of thought it was obvious that we were not going to be pushing it. We have spent 9 months building a car to race, our first race is in 2 weeks and has cost us alot of money to enter. Today was the first time we had driven the car. At combe (small runoff) at a 'car show' (well known for accidents) and it was a tack day not test day.
Why would we jepordise all our efforts when we dont need to.

24th April 2010 - First Track Test At Castle Combe
So as you know we had yet to drive the car on circuit and with our first race meeting at Brands Hatch fast approaching, we were contacted by fledgling company 'Steathsport' to accompany them to the Performance Car Action Day at Castle Combe.
A few prep jobs to do before we started and then it was Tony's job to take the car out for his first laps. Very, very steadily he made his way around in the 15 minuite session, learning about the car. A few small adjustments and it was my go.
As the session ended I noticed the battery light was on, I had no idea how long it had been on or what the problem was. Fearing it was the auxilary belt I switched off the engine and coasted for half a lap. I didnt want to cook the engine. Running out of momentum I started it again and drove to into the pit lane. All the cars were stopped so again switched it off. Then when the queue went I tried to restart and the enevitable had happened. A flat battery. Pushed into the paddock by the marshalls I checked the fan belt was still on and we then bump started it and drove back to our stand. A quick check with a multimeter confirmed the alternator regualtor had failed again!
We fitted the spare and both had another run. This one didn't last long either, we have a problem somewhere. Were not sure yet if its just dodgy components the alternators have been built with or a fault with the car. On my 2nd run I was much happier, much more confdent and really enjoyed the car. But with no more spare alternators that was the end of the day for us. We achieved what we set out to and that was to both drive the car on a circuit to get a feel for it and make sure we had no problems or things to adjust. Better to have the alternators failing now, rather than in a race.
