Odyssey ph1 172 pure track car. No tax discs here........

[MG cup]

That should be fun.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Goes faster that way derrr

 

[Kenny.s]

That could have been interesting!

 

[Gray]

Whooooooops...

 

[Dan519]

That could have been interesting!

lol, wasn't going to go anywhere like that. 5 minutes of pumping the pedal and nothing coming out the bleed nipples.........AH FFS!!!!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Hahaa! ...Will see you tomorrow Dan, don't panic. I do these things to test if your awake

 

[Dan519]

She runs!! Sounds a bit like a superbike when you blip the throttle. Only done enough to make it idle so far. Quite looking forward to seeing what it does on the rollers now.

 

[Rhys Beal]

So excited to hear that news Dan, I have an ear to ear grin! Hopefully that's my super duper billet flywheel that is giving that kind of throttle response

 

[DannyR]

Will this be ready by Thursday?!

 

[Chri5]

Nothing like cutting it fine

good progress, can't wait to see it in action

 

[dmallett]

Any figures yet? Deffo need to get mine on dans rollers for some kinda comparison. Though Rhys car weighs similar to a tin of beans

 

[Rhys Beal]

Won't be ready for the trip I'm afraid

 

[dmallett]

Sad face.

 

[Beaniemoo]

Won't be ready for the trip I'm afraid

​Noooooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[Dan519]

Won't be ready for the trip I'm afraid

​Noooooooooo!!!!!!!

not from anyones fault, just too many loose ends for Rhys once he's got it back. To be honest, sod doing that trip without at least a week or 2 of regular use as a shakedown

 

[DannyR]

Will you be coming in your 182 then Rhys?

That's gutting

You are right though Dan, any little problem could soon raise its head so shortly afterwards. I thought I was crazy taking mine last year having just supercharged it and done about 700 miles!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Will still be coming yes. It needs local testing first because the last thing I want is to be sorting out recovery from another country through teething problems. It will show it's face at CSS

 

[dmallett]

Going to bless this car tomorrow with my man juices x

 

[Rhys Beal]

On the windscreen please Dan, I can then test my new wiper setup

 

[dmallett]

Deal! I havent seen the car in the flesh for almost a year ha

 

[Toastfrenzy]

Anyway, as one Clio leaves, another arrives...

Moo @ BeanieSport

Just found this - it's been a while, lol. Hope my loom comes out as good.

 

[Dan519]

Well a week or so ago I first attempt on the rollers and had to abort due to a knocking front pulley (looked like it was about to throw itself apart)
Had to order up a brand new one. Fitting involved using all the cam locking tools as if doing a cambelt.


Found this core plug hammer in too far and been rubbing on the cam

And a nice job been done of chewing up the cam slot

Old pulley came off, you can just about see the rubber has started to disintegrate and leave black powdery remnants

And the brand new pulley fitted up. Shiny! (excuse the crap pic)

So this afternoon, after I'd waved off Tony with the Burpspeed racecar having sorted out the rather rich map, it was back on wih Rhys'

Spent an hour or so on it this afternoon so far. Slow going as it's probably the hottest day I've had in here since installing the rollers. Mostly got everything below 2.5k done and starts runs and idles well.

 

[dmallett]

A pic i got last week at Dans of mine and Rhys's cars, look similar colour imo.

Exhaust video needed Dan!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Looking good Dan

Very excited about getting it back

 

[domsclio182]

I bet you can't wait Rhys, when are you hoping to get it out on track.

 

[Rhys Beal]

End of this month would be nice

 

[domsclio182]

Fancy Snetterton on the 27th june?

 

[Rhys Beal]

That's full Dom

 

[domsclio182]

The evening is full, but there is full day as well, bit pricey though

[Rhys Beal]

Ouch lol

Want to do an evening one first really as it will be more testing than outright fun

 

[dmallett]

[Rhys Beal]

I think there is one on 15th July aswell

 

[dmallett]

There's several, I might try do the August one

ordered CSS tickets yet?

 

[Rhys Beal]

Not yet no. Got until 14th I think

 

[Rhys Beal]

First small test tomorrow and it will go on the scales too

 

[dmallett]

Ill come have a nosey tomorrow

 

[Rhys Beal]

Will try and get some videos of it for you too

 

[Rhys Beal]

Wow



Massive thanks to Dan and Moo. You have done a superb job!

I also weighed the car. With 2 seats in, and 15 litres of fuel it tips the scales at 840kgs. Over the moon as I was aiming for 850kgs and there are still a few bits I can do in the near future to bring that weight down further still.

It has more importantly, 243bhp per ton. It flys to say the least. The engine pulls really hard and is so smooth. No kicks in power and no dips. Dan is the mapping man

 

[Ph1 Tom]

What internals are you running for 204bhp? Looks like it goes alright!

 

[dmallett]

After looking at this car for about 3hours it's Fair to say its pretty amazing the time & effort that's gone into this by everyone involved is awesome. The car is a real credit to you Rhys.

Still think you should've taken my ph2 bumper and strips whilst I was there ha
