Hmmm, tip number 1 is get someone else to video you and tip number 2 is you should have bought a Speed 6 wink

Very odd video and not recommended to be holding your phone/ cameras whilst driving ? On the plus side the gagues seem to be functioning correctly, oil pressure looked good temp was a bit high are the fans cutting in ok?
Oh pursey stop posting your girly Tam vids in the big boys section biglaugh

Not sure why it is odd. Stopped at lights, cerb was popping alot, put phone in sleeve and drove half a mile home. Not about to set my camera mount up at lights, it wasn't dangerous I had my child with me.

I do have some a and b Road vids which would probably give you a heart attack though ;-)

Have any of you speed freaks thought of doing a track day to really test your car's limits?
There are so far 8 of us Chimaera/Griff owners signed up for a track day at Bedford Autodrome on Monday 15th June.
Still spaces left and it's a good track, 4.2 miles of interesting bends and not a lot to hit.

I realise it clashes with Le Mans, which is a good excuse for not coming if you are going to watch the big boys toys and get pissed.
But the BHP of our cars ranges from 220 to 390, so i can quite understand if you don't fancy the embarrassment of a thrashing by a mere ragtop..... whistle
We are fairly experienced track-dayers, so joking apart, we will be around to help and guide you if it is your first track day.

Did I notice the oil pressure dropping under load? Could just be a faulty gauge but it would be nice to know. Also, mine doesn't whine anything like yours does - what's all that about?

In stitches at that. I am getting divorced so I don't have to put up with it anymore. Lol. So close to the bone.

My screeching is coming from the brakes at the moment. Started off as charming, now plain embarrassing!

The gauge reads 40 at 1000rpm at idle. Then 60 above 2000 if coldish dropping to 50 when warm.

Yes it whines like a bike. Lol. I assume they don't all do that then.

I do have a serious oil problem. Spent half hour with my brother with a USB inspection camera today not on ramps trying to work out where it's coming out.

Stationary with a blip to 5k there is a plume of smoke from rear of engine. Like someone is letting off a smoke gun. Going to get it on a ramp this week but it's a ridiculous amount of oil going somewhere. All around gearbox.

Can anybody confirm if it was crank seal it would do this?


Looks like I'll be bringing my engine rebuild / modification a little forward of where I wanted. By the time I'm through with this car there will be nothing left original on the poor girl!

Would love to and will soon. I wouldn't pass the noise limit for sure at the moment though.
