TAFKARM Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Adams so slow he’s never on full throttle, so it’ll be fine I reckon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hazard a guess at it being close, Tom's car isn't too dissimilar to mine though hence the interest... bl**** love Donington... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomS Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Managed to fit the Vbox from my other car so I’ll have something to compare against coming from a 370hp/1300kg M3. I best pass noise regs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 yes would be good to have a donington group session.... once we get rebuilt.. started today.. first new part I went to fit - clutch cylinder from Burton.. non genuine and had different threads for hydraulic fittings!!! I guess there could be quite a bit of that.. same with sorting right clutch plate! But have the Cadwell date on my horizon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomS Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Noise? Not an issue. Engine deciding it wanted to break free quicker than Freddie Mercury…issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Oh dear! Did you get much track time before the detonation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomS Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 8 laps, was done by 10:30am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Oh man that sucks, sorry to see such a mess Any idea of the cause yet, low oil pressure perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomS Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 I had no oil pressure warnings on the dash, I checked temps and pressure before going out and they were fine. Need to get the engine out which should be fun, all new to me and I was expecting a nice smooth entry in to the world of Westfield’s/BEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
