I know all about the windows having to be shut, it's a bitch if it's hot.
Don't think I have any pictures, or if anyone has taken any, of my car when it's been launched.

My car is retired and has been for some time now.
Gotta leave Matt something to aim for.
An 8 year old time with less power than he runs and probably about the same weight car.

Fans on engine running, less friction looses in the oil and less heatsoak from hot air/water.
You'd benefit from shorter queues Jay. it keeps the diff, gearbox and engine oils at peak efficiency.

Thanks Martyn and BPR.
I didn't want to get too close to your time Martyn as I didn't want to embarrass you obviously......
It's a work in progress but making good steps forward every time we go out now. Suspension settings to tweak etc and we should be there, and that was with a full tank of fuel so will try running with less next time

Scare myself absolutely senseless in it every time I go out in it lol. And I'm not even pushing it yet 😕 I can cheat and put a bit more boost in and some meth but I don't think I need it for a 10.
Just need to get my launch nailed and save some weight with a bit less fuel

A proper forged build is big money, especially when you start encountering problems like broken cams etc!
I worry about breaking mine everytime I go out lol

Cheers mate.
Just finished cleaning a lapping the heads,starting to build it back up now in between work and our lass giving me stupid fecking house jobs to do lol
Shouldn't take me too long now tho.
A good forged build is going to be expensive but possibly/hopefully my rods and crank are good to reuse so might bring the costs down a bit.

Pretty much,piston no.4 failure around the skirt,piston no.2 has fracture lines in the same place so was also about to let go,not taken the others out but would'nt like to use them again.
I will have to send the rods&crank away to be checked but I might be lucky?
