Luxluc Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Do you need to run pump fuel for the series, or is race fuel/ethanol allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Do you need to run pump fuel for the series, or is race fuel/ethanol allowed? I will be running pump fuel, however the class also allows Ethanol, Methanol and Nitrous, however if you are running them you have to let the scrutineers know and display a orange disc by their racing number.

ManwithSupra Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Fitted the Blipper unit and made up the relevant hoses etc. Just need to add the throttle cable for it. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/11043141_797583346982977_5393541573735573191_n.jpg?oh=f7e6b36353b0d7d2e0f34cae3c916be6&oe=55737E88&__gda__=1433769776_cb7fdd177e400bc1c2ad71874ee2456e Also stripped out more panels today https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11025129_797583380316307_384988281341909155_n.jpg?oh=833555a9be57b3a295d8fd551525d9ef&oe=557A8E7F&__gda__=1435537892_945f00d53d11118a9c43afe069a20b6b https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/553360_797583396982972_4342128607803819378_n.jpg?oh=87caa606b036f1ec4d319154e8eda618&oe=55873AFE&__gda__=1435569020_083519cfdbf34cc21580f3e4a35e5395 Also I think i have settled on a place for the air pump https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1661631_797583323649646_7186784558670068196_n.jpg?oh=23fe5a8fda2751ddc146fc976e0f24e7&oe=5583929A&__gda__=1435154945_ac1b829cdeeb13dc6b3346cc06829264 Just need the new gearbox really so i can start to finalise loom and hose measurements etc. Edited March 7, 2015 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just had word from Chris my OS Giken Clutch has now landed in his hands. There was a fairly length delay due to a system stocking error on Gikens part, but they managed to get it air shipped over in the nick of time (cheers Chris) Should be able to get the concentric release bearing setup done now, so will leave that in CW's more than capable hands. Thanks again Chris for the whipping the ass off Giken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 When is the big debut at this year's time attack Rich?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) When is the big debut at this year's time attack Rich?? Well the first event is looking less and less likely as time goes on due to delays etc. That said, if things go well and testing goes well etc then the 25th April might be good but I am not counting on it TBH So probably aim to be the next one on the calender 31st May. I have asked TA and I can miss one event without it effecting the championship, not that my position in the championship will matter too much, I probably would be last anyway Edited March 12, 2015 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 There is not a chance you will be last. You have to pick one event to drop from the points of your year so I guess yours will be the first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 And I can guarantee you it'll be the only no points finish you have for the rest of the year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) especially with the amount of offers you will have for help anything does go wrong I remember when I was at Cadwell Park and Mo in the white RX7 blew his gearbox up the day before I offered to help him out and change it. Everyone there was like what are you doing, if he does not complete you automatically come 2nd. He beat me by 0.2 sec on the day Edited March 12, 2015 by T2 MSW (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
