Great stuff Car looks awesome!

 

Cheers guys, the issue was simply the ignition switch failed, not sure why? think it was over loaded or something???

The bonnet is from ABW as with all of the other body kit, as mentioned to others, if you call Daren he can make things to order, the home page just gives you an idea of his work, I asked for this design and he obliged

 

That looks the dogs danglies, sound slike you had a good day despite the gremlins but that's what these days are for

 

Looks mega from cadwell pics. good job

 

Cheers fellas, preparation for Croft has already started hopefully a couple more improvements will have been made which help significantly

 

Car is looking sweet, love the black and orange..

 

gutted to see you crash it at snetterton, hope the damage isnt too bad.

 

^^^^ cheers dude, I think were gonna be ok, Steven Darley (SD Motorsport) is working flat out to both get it fixed and improved prior to rd2 of Time Attack at Croft on the 11th May, I am not totally sure we will be ready, but every effort is being made, I will update with the progress after this weekend. In the mean time the ECU is being sent away to Syvecs for an upgrade, I am just waiting on a dry sump kit to arrive and.... we are getting some very nice kit from Whiteline which will hopefully help a lot again will give details next week when the car is being rebuilt, in the mean time... here are the links >

 

pity you wont get to Croft this BH..........

best of luck and as always if you need any help or further parts just ask..........

 

shame to see it like that, looked a nice motor!

 

such a nice car unlucky buddy

how did that happen ?? could you not turn in and come off the brake?

 

am i the only one that cringes at the concrete bollards placed right where cars will come off head on onto them?

 

when i watched the video i was shocked to see them there like that, a bit unforgiving, surely a tyre wall in front would be far better

 

Thats a sore one to watch!! After all the hard work put into the build too. Look forward to seeing the beast back on track soon!

Ricey

 

Cheers guys, being honest its easy now looking at the video and thinking I should have...... but its 2 seconds from lock-up to impact, I have thought I should have done a, b & c, but I never and unforunately boom!!

We are hoping to be out by the 11th May at Croft for Time Attack, but will miss the bank holiday track day that is booked

Hopefully I will have some pictures up in the next two weeks and you wont know the accident had even happened!! Steven Darley at SD Motorsport has most things covered already, we have sourced replacement fmic, radiator, oil cooler, and a few other bits and bobs so its coming along nicely.

I rang Daren at ABW on Sunday and what a guy, we will have all of the replacement body panels by the weekend giving us a week to rebuild tyhanks for all the support Daren.

If we manage to get a result at Croft Time Attack it will be unbelieveable, so watch this space!!

Cheers everyone.

 

Why is your gearbox so noisy sounds straight cut is that solid mounts?

 

yes mate, solid mounts. I also have the rear diff mounted to the cage and have a SD Motorsport gearbox cradle and SD Motorsport rear sub frame too, great bits of kit the car is completely gutted which makes it a bit noisy too

 

Sorry to see

Those concrete bollards are stupidly positioned IMO, why the hell not have a gravel trap first & then tyres or bollards!!?

 

That's a shame, and barking mad concrete location, but coming back bigger and better

Good luck with the rebuild

 

^^^ cheers gents

 

they are there only when both layouts are being run at the same time to stop errant cars from ending up on the 2nd circuit........if you watch the end of Lee's vid you will see a bike session underway behind them

 

Hi Alyn, need to call you in the morning, need some new bonnet pins, another pair of spacers and some power steering fluid, hopefully collect off you at Croft on Monday?

 

And so the rebuild has started!!!

As you can see above the car had a bit of a bump!! so Steven and the team at SD Motorsport have been mad busy getting my car ready to hopefully be ready for this weekends Time Attack round at Croft, last week they were trying to crack on with my car, but also have another two Time Attack cars to prepare as well!! thankfully Mondays test at Croft went well for the other two guys which has now allowed Steven to fully concentrate on the orange one!!

So after a full strip of the front end of the car the damage was revealed, the front end damage has been cut off and in its place a space frame front end has been rebuilt. I have received unbelievable help from some scooby friends who have leant me 2 fmic's, fmoc and a radiator!! Daren at ABW has sorted me all new panels for the front end too.

So Steven and the guys have checked the engine and carried out some repair work to the exterior of the block, carried out a leak down test which showed there ws no damage to internals phew!! so as you can see from the picture the rebuild has started and we will hopefully make it to Croft on Saturday!!

 

and a bit more progress made, Stevens still at it!!!

 

That's commitment for you

 

insanity!!!!!!

 

That's what you call commitment

It was me in the white van this morning mate incase you weren't sure

 

yeah mate I clicked it was you after you zoomed off !!!!!

 

Any vids mate

 

Sorry mate never bothered at Croft, wanted too but we were mad busy all day so I just never had the time to set the camera up
