Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

[SharkyUK]

Gutted for you Tony (and Pete). I'd be fekkin livid. You are both incredibly restrained. What a mess!

 

[Tony Hunter]

My circumstances were slightly different to Pete's.
Not that it should have made any difference.

 

[Bluebeard]

Oh chubba lubba, where you been.

Trying to find my way around this stupid fekkin forum. I'm like a lost 3 year old in Sainsbury's.

So, what's happened? Why is the engine goosed? What are the plans? Who is working on it, I thought Danny 519 gave it all up??

 

[Tony Hunter]

I'm having forum too, what's all this LIKES etc, getting more like facebook, or whatever it's called.
a. I'm not qualified to say

d. He has

That's s**t news to hear :-( what a nightmare!!

It was most unexpected, having the head checked was just a formality really, but on the test bed, it sucked like a whore on crack.

 

[Apg100]

Only liking the 'whore on Crack' comment, not the whole head problem...

 

[Tony Hunter]

Who needs 4 wheels, not me. Had a great weekend at Snett.

COME ON!!!!

All done.:grinning:

 

[Apg100]

Great weekend Tony, thanks again for your help.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Now problem Andrew, glad to be of some help.

At least the car is drivable, you did well.

 

[Cub.]

Looks like another good weekend in Babyburp!

 

[Tony Hunter]

it was Olive, having a few gear change issues, gong to change the dog bone mount, as it's rather squidgy, hope this cures the problem ready for next weekend at Donington.

 

[shiftspark]

What's on at Donington Tony , are you doing the 1000k ?

 

[JP83]

That looks proper fun tony!

Glad it was a good weekend Hope the dog bone change sorts it. What day is Donington racing? Saturday?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Lol, no Colin, don't think the car would make it that far, track day on the Sunday.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Glad it was a good weekend :smile: Hope the dog bone change sorts it. What day is Donington racing? Saturday?

This is the track day you said you couldn't make, remember.

 

[Cub.]

This is the track day you said you couldn't make, remember.

Yep, I can't.

 

[shiftspark]

Lol, no Colin, don't think the car would make it that far, track day on the Sunday.

Ah, its all I could see on the calendar lol

 

[BIGASH]

Was great to watch from the sidelines and see baby burp on the limit! Thanks again as ever Tony for the hospitality and entertainment Hope you didn’t stop on 2 bottles of the vino

 

[Tony Hunter]

No, had another 2, then went down the lotus garages looking for a fight.

"You wouldn't hit a pensioner. Surely?........POW!!"

Sounds like I missed all the fun.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Just about ready for the season ender, going to have a bit of fun at Donington tomorrow (Sunday), Jay's coming along, just to keep his hand in.
Nice big bowl of Chilli has been made, I must just remember to pick up the car on the way through Silverstone in the morning, would be really silly to arrive without it.

 

[Russ Rallye]

Have a good day mate, did you get the bottom mount and linkages sorted?
Russ

 

[Tony Hunter]

Actually yes Russ, I think tge big rubber ball in the middle could do with changing too, but it does feel better.
Got 1st anyway.

 

[Tony Hunter]

This will be a good day to come along to. Going to be fun.

Why not join us for the 2015 “Meet and Greet”. If you’re a racer a chance to meet friends old and new, shake down your car, get rid of the cobwebs on both, and sort out any gremlins before the season gets underway. If you’re a fan your chance to meet the star's and their cars and maybe pick up some tips.

Separate sessions for race license holders and non-license holders (must have a full not provisional road driving license). Passenger rides allowed, and tuition from instructors plus race car display. Come and chat with the race teams if you’re thinking about taking the plunge, it might be easier than you think.

Tyre Service support on the day from Service & Sport.

Media Support Japanese Performance Magazine.

The day will be run as a semi open pit lane format in half hourly sessions. Race car/license holders in one session, standard road license holders in the other.

Cost per entry £189. Final instructions will be sent out 14 days before the event. No refunds will be made after this time.

Fanks. Just to confirm, there is a normal track day slot...

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yes Olive.
They are just splitting it up to separate race cars from road cars.

Don't worry, I forgot to collect the clutch that I was supposed to fit to a customers car the other morning

 

[Tony Hunter]

DOH! !

 

[Tony Hunter]

Small update.

Pug 106 has had a bit of a rest, it's not been started since Nov 9th, brrrrumm, it runs, so that's ready for this year as the back up car.

Clio#4
We have now decided that the pistons are not worth the risk, so new ones are now on order and should arrive the same time as the valves, a water pump and Megane injectors are also going in
So hopefully by the end of the month it might go, then up to Paul.

We are getting there.

 

[mitsiman]

Happy New Year!
Glad to see that you are hard at work; I left the 106 for 18 months and it fired first time!
Got my new CPS today and made a mount for it this evening (by mistake I left the heater on in the garage all day it was cosy in there!) - bit of luck the Clio will be running soon and then to the Saxo! Clio in for mapping next Wednesday, Medical for me tomorrow, Saxo booked in for mapping 4th Feb. Registered with CSCC (Clio) and Tricolore Trophy (Saxo). I intend to do all the races in both this year.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Happy New Year. I intend to do all the races in both this year.

I posted on TA forum that it might be crank sensor.
You'd better get an EGG done, that's a lot of races for someone of your age. X

 

[mitsiman]

I had an EGG this morning with bacon and beans - fried in lard - great for your heart (If I had one!)

 

[Tony Hunter]

Ha, phone correction. ECG.
If they find it, don't let them get a wooden stake out.
