FFS, it had a noisy exhaust get over it!

I notice non of the other competitors are complaining (yet)

I dont know why i bother when you get attitudes like that in response.

Putting it simply, there were no noise regs at donnington last year, so Matt chanced his arm with NO silencers this year, and got away with it. Had they enforced the rule, he would have simply gone home and made one.

Not sure they know what a noise meter is at Knockhill

Duncan,
In all honesty I was expecting more this year from the Club Challenge boys at Dono... Iain Litchfield was lapping Dono in the 1:19's for TunerGP in 2005, with a full road going Spec C, running 350bhp.

It wasnt exactly ideal conditions.

Do we really have to have the diferent day, diferent conditions discusion again shaun?

It was only a bit damp wasnt it John!

johnfelstead

Just a tad.

Damp wasnt the issue really - the snow sort of limits grip or confidence that grip will be there when you need it. iirc for the pro final it was clear on one section of the course and snowing at McLeans.

RCM got a sound check at TOTB last year when using the no silencer exhaust. They just went back to the truck and swapped it for the other one. No going home for those guys.

Did they sound how the car felf this year?
Do you know it there going to change anything for the next round?

Think they are on a well earned break. Popped by to have a wheel bearing done last week, young Sam makes a mean cuppa too.

This is Zen Performance's Project thread.

I think most people including myself would welcome an update from Zen including some pictures. I appreciate they are busy and have a business to run but surely this is good PR

Paul and Liz have been having a deserved break since the car ran at Donington, so there isnt anything to update yet. There is lots to talk about once they get back to working on the car and getting ready to run the car again.

surely a little bit of info on the competition isnt a bad thing

interesting to see the underside is being developed next after the engine is sorted.

Don't all threads get shared during the author's away/rest period?
IMHO just adds to the overall level of interest.

Ah but Paul and Liz are back now as I spoke to him earlier to get some of his mapping excellence on my car

I think they deserved a break and from the sounds of it, it was just what the doctor ordered

Right, now the pleasantries are out of the way, where are the pics / updates ?

black newage

brilliant point then somebody starts moaning about rcms exhaust lets keep it zen, simple

dynamix

iTrader: (3)

Funny that it wasnt me that started that but I accept the point (even though I wasnt moaning about it, I was just wondering how it got away with it)

ZEN Performance

No major work to speak of on the demo car at the moment - we are very busy with customer work.

Probably wont be time to update the thread much between now and Knockhill, which is 24 days away

We have a to do list! Depending on how quickly we get through it, we may or may not have time for an open day before Knockhill.

Matt has worked very hard on the Gobstopper over the past months, take a close look at the car and you will see some pretty huge changes FWIW, I love their killer exhaust note

Liz @ ZEN

Good to see you all again yesterday - car looks incredible up close and the new developments for KH will be another major leap forward with plenty more to come too. One to watch up there for sure

I was surprised to read in Jap. Perf. that the Zen car blew a head gasket and fubard the block..... is this right as there is no mention of it on this thread, so hence why I was surprised? Or did the mag get it wrong?

Andy.F

The 'real' webmaster would have my b*lls in a sling if I made a trolling post like that.

You should know better.

ex-webby

what.. By asking a genuine, respectful question?!

Get real.

StickyMicky

must admit, when i first read it i was going to post a picture. of a very large wooden spoon to be honest....

but figured i would just get infracted for trolling, pathetic
