MATT Black

[Raceydriver]

Hi everyone who has previously commented on Matt Black. I purchased this car earlier this year with lot's of work to complete. This work has now been completed and the car is running. Has the AMK engine in running on the seat ECU with Seat clocks so immobiliser works. Running 270bhp with remap. Using the fly by wire seat throttle pedal with a small adjustment, fits straight into Clio. The car is being used in the British Rallycross for next year. Had a run out last weekend and after sorting out a minor but frustrating misfire under load issue, fuel filter not allowing fuel through properly, but got a run in and times were on par with the british champion elect in class on first run, thought was not too bad. Few things left to do to get car really on it.

When I see Matt Black I have visions of a bucket seat made of tin. Is it still in there? Lol!

It feels a million years ago seeing this blasting round Blackburn!

It only had a cup engine back then, and I was still in a Mk1!

Lol! I remember a rolling road day in Padiham where they were sat on the front wings in order to help the thing gain traction!

That must be 11 years ago now. I thought it had gone to that great big Scrap Yard in the sky by now?? :up:
