Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

[Tony Hunter]

Ooh shall I bring my lid?

I'm only going to take a few out as a thank you, but only after everything is sorted on the car. (so yes)

Hope all goes well tony

Cheers

Best of luck Tony hope it all goes well and glad you have got it all ready! Looked through the calendar of FT races today will try and come along to one

See you around bigboy.

 

[Chi]

Good luck mate. .. Id cine along but I'll be working on a hangover Saturday night )

 

[Nick172Cup]

Don’t know really the only races i’d want to do on the calendar would be Snett and maybe Oulton but the Tintops calendar suits my circuit choices quite a bit better this year and would be good to share costs with a second driver. I’ll still be along to watch you guys though at a few races i’m sure

Hi.

 

[Toastfrenzy]

Yeah I'm only messing about Pete, though if James did offer me a drive I'd definitely have a go. Lol

You might change your mind when you see how expensive it is, James's car costs about a million quid a minute to run, lol.


Hope the racing goes well Tony, will try and pop along to watch at some point

Lol. I know how much it costs to race, I've also spoken to James in the past about splitting a drive with him.

Thanks Chippy Chip.

 

[BIGASH]

[Tony Hunter]

What happened

 

[Jay Payne]

Not a lot by sounds of it

 

[Tony Hunter]

Sparkplug decided it didn't want to play ball, went to change it and the insert came out with it. We didn't want to damage the insert by trying grips on it, so thought it was best to leave it at that, so dropped the car at Danny's and went home.

Still, a nice day for it, and some faired much worse fate's than me, gearboxes blow, engine fires etc etc. Left it in Dan capable hands to sort ready for race in April.

Shame I didn't really get a feel for the roll centre kit, but it does turn in much sharper, that I do know.

Qualifying will be interesting anyway, not driven it flat out yet lol.

Couple of pics from Sunday.

Thanks to those that came, esp Sam and Pete + (pesky kids ) Choc brownie was yummy good.

All that effort to put the passenger seat in, and nobody got a ride. Never mind eh.

 

[sonny172cup]

Bummer.. But engine is ok right, not damaged? Why was you changing plugs?

 

[Toastfrenzy]

Bummer.. But engine is ok right, not damaged? Why was you changing plugs?

Not changing, investigating a fault.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Bummer.. But engine is ok right, not damaged? Why was you changing plugs?

Because it had a slight missfire, and that was the reason why. Poo Sticks

Any damage is under investigation.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Fingers crossed it'll be fine Tony, at least it showed its hand on a test day and not race weekend I guess. I assume its been helicoiled (or similar) previously and that's what's came away while removing the plug?

Yes that's the reason Russ. And that was the upside, not a race day.

 

[Sam@NP]

I've said it before but, that car looks great. Proper well used race car.

I nearly went to Rock but the rugby was too tempting sorry Tony

 

[Tony Hunter]

Fanks Sammy, could have watched the rugger in the van.

 

[dinger]

That's a proper pain in the back side tony but as others have said, better now than the morning qualifying!
Lets hope for all of us that this season can only get better

Hopefully that plug was the fault. Hope its a easy quick fix!

Agree

 

[Manu_Clio_Sport]

They take good preparation in the Clio, I really like it.

 

[Grant89]

Shame about the issue guys but like you've said, it's so much better for it to happen on a day like that rather than a race weekend although still not ideal!

New engine spec and figures sound great!

Oh and did you sit in it, as my remote alarm went off on Tues?

 

[Cub.]

Lol. Remote alarm.

Sneaky....

no just had a quick look and then got dan to price me up on a few bits and put my car on the rollers

 

[Martin.]

Interested in this, tell me more please? Cost?

 

[Toastfrenzy]

Hook, line and sinker....

 

[Tony Hunter]

Hook, line and stinker....

efa

 

[mitsiman]

Alarm, my ar@e, it would break down before you got it started! Is it only me that thinks it would be better if the plug issue had happened in the first race?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Arse, and up yours.

 

[Cub.]

Any news on this Mr Hunter? Now my clio is working again I'm planning my attendance at a few races to say hello!

 

[msa197]
