Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

Lol, bit late now, we are here sat in the sun having a cuppa.
Got potato man paying a visit in a bit to dump some rubbish off for Dinger Dave.
 
Just had a look on TSL... what happened in Race 1? Looks like you weren't able to get out for Race 2? :(
 
Something in the clutch/flywheel went big time. Made a right mess, broke the block, gearbox casing, and everything else around it.

It's not a pretty sight under the bonnet atm. I'll get it all out this week to have a look. :(
 
Oh man, that's bad luck - sorry to hear it. At least it wasn't an accident and you're ok, I guess!
 
There is that, unlike somebody who rolled it at Camp, very nasty, the circuit kept the car, because the cage collapsed!

I just know my wallet is going to be a little lighter very soon.

Bad times :(

Nick popped in at mine on the way back from Combe, said it looked a mess.
 
Ooh dear, I bumped the barrier after losing it at quarry.....I got away with it though, certainly wasn't close to rolling it.

What car was it? Was the driver okay?

Let me know if you're after any bits....I'm pretty sure we've got some flywheels going spare
 
I was at camp and saw the crash. Nasty accident I think it was a celica (newer shape) the driver got out under his own steam pretty quickly.
I saw the hole in your block/casing Tony when I walked by :dapprove:, hope you get sorted soon.
 
Thats just such bad luck Tony!
And apologies for just wanting to pick up my bits but didnt want to get in your way while assesing the damage,

ANy bits that you need that I have lying around you are welcome to mate.

Is your cup B19 on the number plate? Grey 2118's?
 
Bloody hell...Im gutted, hated seeing this happen, was well and truly gutted (ruins what was a really great day). Really hope you get the car back together in time for Donny mate.

Thing is, this can happen to anyone of us...its a lottery.
 
Bad luck Tony, jey sent me the pictures, I'm guessing flywheel cracked around the bolts and broke off.

Do you guys have a spare engine to chuck in?
 

I know, bad start.

I hate that heart sinking moment just after it goes bang, I feel for you dude. :(

Looked in the mirror and saw bits flying across the circuit, like James Bond's tic tacs.

Sorry to hear that Tony, hopefully not too serious problem.

Thanks, at least it wasn't your arts that let go.

That noise just made my skin crawl :(

Like a buzz saw.

Only a standard one, but that's all loaded to take to Dans, lets hope he can make a good one out the two.

Going to take out tomorrow afternoon, I reckon if I drop the sump guard, the whole lot will just drop out.

It's not a pretty sight, and I'm no mechanic!!
