Tonys Quali Lap

 

[Jonny1*2]

Nice pirouette wheel on the grass?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Braked about a metre later than normal,slight lock up,gone.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Ah right, at least it stayed out of the gravel hey

 

[Tony Hunter]

Gravel

 

[Hixle]

You looked to be flying there Tony. Oulton looks so narrow!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Wide enough for 3 and a bit cars.

 

[northy]

Interesting video - very suprised at you using second gear so much though.

Slower car doing 2.9 / 2.10 laps.

 

[Tony Hunter]

The car pulls better out of the chicanes maybe?

 

[shiftspark]

Good video stuff there chaps !!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Good video stuff there chaps !!

Cheers Colin,thought you were popping in at Oulton last week.

 

[shiftspark]

I was, I sent Jay a txt but could only make it for the morning but SWMBO broke her arm and can't drive so I had to take the youngest to football.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Let you off I suppose.

 

[shiftspark]

Ta

 

[Jay Payne]

Glad were all friends again. Lol

 

[shiftspark]

I didn't know things were that bad

The gearing doesn't suit the slow chicanes really. I tend to use 3rd/4th all day at oulton. it's not slow enough for the chicanes to drop to 2nd, but then 3rd doesn't give you enough pull out of the corners. I always find it frustrating accelerating up that hill in 3rd

 

[Tony Hunter]

Thats why on the second chicane,we change into 3rd half way through.

 

[Jay Payne]

Weve got the engine out and stripped down now. Not a alot salvageable. Sounded like a box of smartties when we turned it over to take off the sump

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol for once I can tell what's wrong with that!

 

[Jamie86]

Done properly that one!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Wow proper job on that mate!

 

[Ollie82.]

I still don't think that's a good enough excuse for not finishing the race.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Smarty's anybody??

 

[Silent_Scone]

Proper job

 

[Cr33do]

What a mess! Makes ours look minor in comparison - same outcome though

 

[shiftspark]

Smarty's anybody??

Please lol

 

[bomber]

Done a proper job of that engine!! Well, it had plenty of abuse given to it so lasted a decent time

 

[gerupsausage]

brilliant haha

 

[shiftspark]

Hey fellas, what's the least amount of fuel you have run with without fuel starvation? I am considering using a swirl pot and running it as low as possible.
Cheers

 

[Tony Hunter]

When we did testing at Mallory,we tried all different fuel levels for set up and times etc.

We actually ran on fumes for 2 laps and not a hint of starvation,so the swirl pot works a treat.
As long as the swirl pot has fuel in it,it will run.

 

[theduck]

Ouch. Now see why you want an early start next week Tony.

 

[Tony Hunter]

??,oh you mean the engine business.

we ran it almost dry at a trackday at silverstone. it coughed round copse but made it back to the pits. swirl pot holds 1litre

 

[shiftspark]

Cheers fellas, what pump did you use and why is Tony Tiny lol

 

[Jay Payne]

cant remember what pump it was. just a random one with a decent flow rate and the right inlet and outlet.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Cheers fellas, what pump did you use and why is Tony Tiny lol

Because some girls in the Admin dept (The Boosh and Brian) think its funny.

 

[Jay Payne]

This thread is now 2 years old! How time flys.

Overdue a title change seeing as its not a build thread any more, suggestions?
