Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build
- Thread starter Jay Payne
- Start date
R26
I still reckon you should have had Ian's clio in the first corner! 
Joking aside....I dont think I could do that. Trackdays yes, but actual racing......not for me (at the moment)

I think its a conversion, but I may be wrong. They've been in the series for a while though - really nice chaps.
172 Race Car
Built up from a 1.2 shell. 182 running gear and lots of custom suspension geometry
Pontless trying to run a cup racer as sequential boxes not alowed in our series.
There is a Mk1 Cup car in the series but they had H pattern boxes afaik

I think Gerrards took its toll on the front suspension as the camber had moved.Anyway a quick phone call to Carbody Banbury and they said bring it down.
We had lost 1deg of camber on the nearside and gained 1deg on the offside,very strange but true.Anyway we are now all square and ready to go,just fit new alternator tomorrow and Silverstone her we come

Thats why its a bit of a panic to get it all sorted in less than a week.

I want to see your little chubby smiling face,of course I do.
I see. It's apparent its not a stock engine - ?
I'll try and get along on Sat, would like to say hello.
Odd, where they done up while the car was on a ramp - seen it before where they have not been torqued up due to lack of room and the settings were out like yours about a week later.

I say that as it is on par with you acc wise, just wondered what sort of setup they were using.

In the end though, it's a case of going fast enough to stay ahead of the car behind once the lead car has pulled out a gap.Do push past the limit for a unlikely win or be easy settle for second and keep it on the island and race another day.Back of your mind next week is Silverstone don't break it.
Car was happy in the 55sec bracket and it was easy to drive at that,if the lead car had been 10mtr in front then thats a different matter,the car and us could have found that little bit more.
I'm stilled pissed with the alternator problem,still that should be fixed today.

Brand new Genuine Renault 172Cup alternator fitted today, all tested and working. Drilled even more holes in the grill to try and get as much airflow to it as poss.
Were convinced its just chocolate alternators that have been the problem. Time will tell.
Everything else looks ok now its been set up again. Ready to rock and roll on Saturday :race:
