Kit Car Electronics Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I mounted mine here with rivnuts to the front of the chassis. I used some rubber hose on the bolts to give it a bit of compliance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darve Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Made a start today. General strip down getting inlet manifold and other stuff out the way Got the sandwich plate on and a few other odd jobs Need to mount the cooler, make the lines then put it all back together Think I should try and get some time in during the week (no electric in garage at the moment so light is an issue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hu7ch Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hi all So last weeks trackday didn't end as expected, I'm a bit gutted as I wanted to make the 20th but I suppose there's always next year. I'll try and pop along anyway to say hello. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darve Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 What happened @hu7ch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hu7ch Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It was the cars first outing. It's covered about 600 miles on the road since a rebuild and was run in exactly as the engine builder advised. It hadn't missed a beat all evening and was probably one of the quickest cars on track. coming down the back straight something let go, it was still running fine with ok oil pressure and temps so I limped it back. I thought it was a pipe split or something like that but after looking at it last night I believe it's an internal issue. And to make it worse I found the moment it happened on someone's video on YouTube It's at 42mins funny thing is he thinks I killed it trying to get past him. It was fun while it lasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
