JohnSt Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 You driving something else this weekend John? Nothing so sneeky John, I entered all the events when the regs came out, I've borrowed some stuff from the red car for this one so it is not complete ATM. I pulled out last week. ---john---
johnnyr6 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I'm sorry guys, i just don't get it. It doesn't even have foglights and one of the headlights has fallen out. Do you have any pics of it at night with the neons lit?? Johnny

JohnSt Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 The ipod is under the dash and the Sub is in the boot (helps traction)
johnnyr6 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 so what about the neons then? They are top of the range strobe neons with 6 different sequences, apparently used to distract fellow competitors.. or so i'm told. Johnny
JohnSt Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Thread has been a bit quiet for a while, not because nothing has been going on, quite the reverse, it's been all hands to the pumps here sorting issues arising from the old engine letting go at Kames. Last weeks diary for example Sunday Morning, Install engine after it being out to Helicoil rocker cover fixings and cam cap fixing. Sunday Afternoon, discover Head gaskets gone after a roasting the previous week. Monday, Work Monday night, remove engine and strip heads. Tuesday Morning, deliver Heads to Pitcairn Engineering for re-finishing. Tuesday Afternoon, Work, whilst Wifee Spice picked up skimmed heads. Tuesday night, rebuilt engine. Wednesday, work. Wednesday night, re-fit engine Thursday, Work. Thursday evening, arrive home late do to flood as a result of Thunderstorm in one of our server rooms. Later Thursday evening get car out to test. Fuelling issue that caused first engine to expire gone, Head sealing good. Laterally Thusday night, trying to kill myself and my friend whilst applying 500bhp to some standing water in middle of thinderstorm on Semi-Slicks. Friday, more testing in the dry, happy. Apply UberSafe Map and head for Boyndie New engine is in and is running on a 'safe' map. Andy is giving the car the once over next week so I expect it to be a 'bit' quicker then Car was out last weekend at Boyndie (Banffshire) finishing second on Saturday behind 'Stormin Normin's' Evo, with the car down on boost and a UberSafe Fuel map. Played with the map a little and managed to reverse that situation for Sunday with a win. Bolted a second seat into the car tonight to take Craig out for a Wee Hurl, I was conscious he'd spent a lot of time and effort on something that till tonight had been an inanimate object, not what a car is supposed to be, I think he sees it a little differently now Car is off to ProGrip tomorrow for John to work his magic as geometry was out at Boyndie as a result of me needing to change a couple of things. ---john---
jimser Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 hats off to you john the car is a monster lol. followed it tonight(or tried to)for a few miles and is in a different league and was running at low boost! for all the £££ others have spent they wont even come close
fai17 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Where is Pitcairn Engineering ? As i've got head gasket issues again...
JohnSt Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Where is Pitcairn Engineering ?As i've got head gasket issues again... Again or Still ???
cullenmin Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Boyndie is just a stone throw away from me. If I knew something was on then I would have went across to spectate/drool. Rich
st3ph3n Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Good news John. Boyndie sounded like it was a good weekend. Maybe try and get up there next year all being well. All set for the next round then?

You haven't seem Maniac Mode yet Edited July 10, 2008 by JohnSt
RA Dunk Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 You haven't seem Maniac Mode yet hows about you show "maniac" mode to me some time, i promise i wont scream like a girl
JohnSt Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 hows about you show "maniac" mode to me some time, i promise i wont scream like a girl The seat might not be big enough ?
RA Dunk Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 The seat might not be big enough ? lol WTF`s that mean, you calling me a porker or something! , im a very sensitive guy i`ll have you know
JohnSt Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 You used the word Porker, I never mentioned it ! Car was at ProGrip today, I actually drove it there rather than trailering it. My tank is circa 10-12 litres, ProGrip is 6 miles, left with a full tank and only just made it home. There were two full chat 10 second blats included in this though. Car feels great on the road after John fettled it, I was right to take it over, it turned out to be a bit off optimum geometry wise. Just need to get it to a track now so I can play with the roll bars, dampers etc to fine tune it. ---john---
