Originally from Redditch, so common in his blood
Did you get Lisa's number? She looks quite tidy! Cracking performance though considering everything leading upto that weekend!

What date is Oulton? I'm back next Sunday.

Nah, that's only 1 and 1/2 each.
Gents,
Seen as you are all so kind I think an update is required :smiley:
Hmm So where are we?
Due to complicated development reasons we ended up getting another Cayman race car this one build by Porsche Italy. It was bit of a dog but had 997 Carrera Cup car front suspension, uprights, top mount, and brakes etc. It also had a GT3 crown wheel and 320bhp steel engine.
We did a race with both cars at Silverstone which was hugely entertaining as my farther and I finally got to go toe to toe and race each other directly :smiley:
He got a better start off the line but two laps later I was in the lead lapping much faster in the slower car. Settled the argument once and for all on who’s faster. No vid sadly, not sure why but I can’t find the memory card anywhere. Grrrr.
Took the white car to Le Mans which was fun, saw good few peeps from CS who said some very kind things about it so Cheers!
Recent developments.
A few months ago we had a bespoke peddle box built for the car and replumbed the brake lines. The SVP boys did a beautiful job as per usual. We went to Spa for a quick play and test a few other upgrades, bigger wheels and tyres, different pads etc.
3 hour delay was dull!
Nap time for Warren, he soon woke up especially when we had a entire turn off opposite lock applied. Opps :smile:
Poor GTR
A few pics from the SVP workshop for the rally fans
Rebuilt Pug 205 GTI Rally car.
Recently dipped shell, its so straight for a car with such history.
Random Seat thing, lovely car with laughable front track and sequential box. Originally built by Seat rebuilt by SVP.
Sorry for the awful pictures I am by no means a photographer.

Thank fook for this.
I was giving up on you! Suitably redeemed.
Looks like great work as ever. I bet the Silverstone race was great.

From what I understand, Sam has reached puberty and now a girlfriend. In regards to the car - I have no idea...
The Ibiza used to be used by a guy known as RobT and he was more secretive over the car than some F1 teams. The car then ended up in SVP's hands and from what I understand they made it into a car useable for rallying.
Update time!
Firstly, entry confirmed for this:
Britcar 24 hours 24th, 25th & 26th April :smiley:
4 drivers, with the car being ran by SVP and Lahan Racing.
The Car
Full bespoke Motec wiring loom with 2 PDMs running a full CAN bus system so no fuses and no relays on the entire car! Full Motec Dash (no pic, sorry) with built in sim card (for sending texts from pit wall to dash), Motec steering wheel buttons x6.
Engine ECU is a LIFE item with 2 EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) inputs, full VVC control, knock sensors etc.
The engine is built up and in the car, all 4 litres of steel flat six loveliness. :smiley: Hoping for 2 maps, an endurance one for optimum efficiency between power and fuel consumption the other will be an all out power map with higher RPM limit, running richer. In addition there is a new fuel system with lift pumps and swirl pots circa 120 litres in total.
Chassis wise, the Proflex Dampers are having a rebuild and we have wider wheels all round. The brakes are still under discussion, looking likely that a move to AP items is on the cards…. Watch this space.
We have a change of harnesses and seat coming too purely for comfort and to suit a broader range of driver.
Quick fill holes in the bonnet.
Foam filled ATL Fuel cell.
3rd Rad to cool the motor
A PDM
Front PDM mounted and wired into the bespoke loom.
Data download point with easy access for downloads mid driver change.
Driver LEDs for pit stops and driver changes.
Motec button pad with engine start and fire extinguisher switch. Each button can have 3 functions programmed to it with a variety of back light colours.
Meet Trofeo or Truufs for sort. 7 month old Corgi Pub.
The list of remaining jobs is large but achievable. We hope to test this month. I am very very exited! Any questions just ask.
Thanks

Ingenious use of the strip LEDs as interior lights! I've got some of those for under cabinet lighting in my kitchen, and it never once occurred to me I could use the left over length for interior lights on my track car! Brilliant! I shall shamelessly steal the idea. Lol!
Cars looking very good mate. What sort of hp are you expecting from the engine?

Splendid. Are you there for the test day too?
Glad you like it and let me know how you get on. We have some more to go on the cage for night time identification.
Engine wise, circa 100bhp per litre so 400bhp although some guys in America with this spec are seeing circa 475bhp. Right now we want a nice torquey mid range and power up to 7000-7200 RPM. 8k is within reach but 9k will require a more robust valve train.
