Progress report.

As you may have read from other posts, my race engine is currently toast.

So converted the Test 3.9 engine I had, put in a 4.0 non dissy camshaft (the one in there was shot so not a bad thing) put on the new style front cover, and our custom induction.

All fired up fine, done a bit of tweaking, and did a full test at Brands, Oil was getting a bit hot so fitted an oil cooler


So now we are all set for our 1st race at Rockingham

Oh and for those that wanted picture of the Eclectic PAS I took some pictures.

The next part is to leave Rockingham on Sunday with a smile after a good weekend of Motorsport - that bit I think you deserve.

Thank you, it taken a lot longer than I expected, it's funny but the last Rockingham meet was what made me decide to join in.

The Race Engine is completely stripped and being repaired by Chesmans.
Should have it back in 2 - 3 weeks, at least I've have some time to test it and run it in, before next season.

I've Think I've finally found my fuel leak, while doing a refresh on the rear end, new bearings and callipers and pads.

I was sure when I removed the tank I could not find a fuel return, but now I think I've spotted one, need to check though that it's not blocked. in hindsight I should have asked Kev

I've nearly finished redesigning a new one from a 3mm sheet of steel.

top is cut to fit the coil-over mod. see pic 5 in link below

bottom is cut and ready for bending see pic 6 in link below.

Then I just need to weld it up, drill hold for wish-bones, and then weld to chassis.
