Horah!!!


My westie has just passed its MOT again, so that's 12 more months of madness ahead.

Now, where did i put those fuel injectors and ECU?

stage 1

That will be the extra 4 greens and the 8 injector control box

stage 1

PS - looking forward to knockhill You'll need someone to balance the weight distribution

johnfelstead

gawd martin, get yourself ready for the first session and you can have the honour of the first few laps i have ever driven of knockhill.

should be a laugh!

stage 1

I'm there! - but take us out at the end too once you have it sussed - need to see what the car can actually do

Martin

Only takes me 3 laps to be 95% martin, dont worry, you'll get a decent run.

stage 1

4 Laps and I only went sideways without learning 1 line! then my brakes melted right through!.oops Still a lot of fun though

Was holding of Dave Weston in his Group N evo4 at the time

I'll be up early to help a friend prepare so I'll see you then

Ah...But is 95% enough to beat N1 TUT?

johnfelstead

If it's dry, no problems at all.

If it's wet, lots of problems.

stage 1

Mr JohnS - Mike said I have to have a shot in your car to see if I can beat the record lap time......erm I mean feel the brakes........ahh bollix it he said just get a passenger run in your car but it was worth a try!

Richard,

there is still a week to get your air ticket sorted out

johnfelstead

So is it wise to bring some after curry pharmacuticals? (sp?)

Right, off to the garage for some tweeking.

rsquire

John..

oh sorry the errm both of you.

The Curry night at Colin's house was one, if not THE, highlight of last years track days..

Awesome.. Good People.. Good Food.. Good times ...

2 x 22B, a Delfino and a P1 in the garage next morning

What more could anyone want ?

johnfelstead

Phew, got the car sorted now for knockhill/the ring.

green injectors back in, 3 Bar Map sensor, ECU program swapped, new actuator, boost set to 1.8BAR new GroupN engine mounts (stop the engine moving in high G corners. To do this i had to take the throttle body off etc.) new exhaust mounts to raise it so it doesnt hit the ground in the Karousel. (needed the seat coming out)

Not a bad days tweeking.

stage 1

Looking forward to runs in both cars Johns

Why all the bits out ecu/injectors john? - you got dodgy emissions?

Martin

johnfelstead

Possibly martin, but i have the standard injectors/map sensor/ecu so why risk it.

Probably would have been OK but i destroyed the lambda sensor when my turbo disintigrated, the exhaust turbine blade took a chunk out of it as it worked its way out of the exhaust at 70,000rpm so the closed loop emisions on the greens isnt working on idle, didnt want to have to fork out £100 for a sensor that never gets used on the westie normally, i mean, whats idle.

Plus, i have de-cated it too.
