Any idea of predicted power/torque output for this round?

Hope it all goes well with out issues.

looks like the cars getting there now,from what i saw 3rd place behind the gobstopper and that nutty elise in a new car is good going :thumb:

3rd is good. Any official results yet? Need Paul in a good mood, down for mapping tmrw! ;) :)

Results are on the TSL Timing website.

So close, 0.191 seconds separating the top three !!

Well done everyone.

3rd overall great result.

At one point they were 1/4 of a second from the 58's.

I thought they were going to crack into them. Very close as ever, great driving, and set-up.

Well done to all at Zen :)

Nice result, Paul/Liz/everyone else who had Zen shirts on :thumb:

Great result considering you were 10mph down through the speed trap. Well done all, first place is round the corner.

all in all a good result :) Shows the car has potential :)

Some interesting sector times on the timing website :)

Yeah, nice one on the results, and thanx for letting us camp out all day yesterday on your sofa thingy! ;):)

I would like to do a big mid season update if anyone is interested?

Very intereseted :)

Banny

Yes Please:)

Tell us!!!

2 hours and no update, must be very large & detailed :)

Mark A

If it is anything like the one on 22b it is VERY detailed :thumb:

I am sure there will be lots more than in that one too.

I said "i would like to" not "I have spent hours writing a post and taking pictures for you ready to post"!

I will round up pictures and get some more taken of the finer points and get them up this evening. For now I have a busy day of work ahead I'm afraid!

Tease :D

have we had any "official" ZEN posted photos of the car yet?

i remember reading that nobody was allowed to post photos until it was finished, and all i have seen, is a few taken by "others" at track days

yup very interested in an update. get typing ;)

Awaits paitently.... :D

watching the clock :sleep:

Makes cup of tea comes back, cuts the lawn and comes back, flosses teeth and comes back, watches Topgear again and comes back and still nothing! ;)

I´m on my knees, honestly, begging for some pictures and an upwrite!!!

Okay here we are just past mid season for Time Attack, and what a season it's been so far! We have finally managed to make the car competitive, with a good result at silverstone and a better result (position wise) at Outlon, despite the problems we suffered.

But where to start with the car, the last you guys saw it had done a few laps at Donington and I was suffering for severe sleep deprivation. We move on to our pre knockhill testing at Silverstone, with plenty of time to spare, or so we thought! Myself, Tim and (big) Sam worked through the night to complete the car, getting it running on a new engine for the first time, and adding a rear wing and front splitter (made in 8 hours from scratch!)

Here you can see the splitter being offered up for the first time, if you look closely you will see the while line I marked to trim to. The splitter was constructed from 4mm exterior ply with carbon/kevlar reinforcement over the top, made by myself with the assistance of Small Boy, we started in the afternoon of the previous day, I finished it about 5.30am.

Here you can see the car out in the open for the first time since Donington, still with those apertures in the rear quarters covered with gaffer tape, but a running car. All it needed was a little testing before we went to silverstone for the proper test...

Below you can see the rear wing, a Cusco aluminium jobbie, which we have mounted with fabricated frames made from 5/8" cro-mo tube. We started with nuts and bolts to attach it to the car. You may also notice something else on the wing, pre test testing was about to ensue!

Here is an engine bay shot showing the state of things as they were then, with a mix/match of pipework and the oil cooler in the TMIC position fed by a conventional scoop.

Back to silverstone and we see two of the three drivers Zen has used over the past 18 months, Tom Ferrier on the left, Phil Glew on the right.

Finally back on track!

And back off again, doh.
I transpires that machining to the block for 14mm head studs was not carried out correctly, and a head stud had pulled out causing the coolant to be pressurised, and cover the windscreen. Tom pulled over immediately without issue, but the stored heat in the turbo, and the sudden stopage led to a minor engine bay fine. Anyone with experience of this knows that to the marshalls (who were initially sure it was coolant only) there is no such thing as a minor fire, and a minute or so after the car stopped, it was smouthered in powder extinguishant, yay. We had completed one lap....
