boblog Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 According to my research, on the LDR (log data and research) my best lap is 46.1 seconds, miss out the first switch back with the grass shortcut and then go straight through the cones Prey (or use a bribe) that no one saw it and bingo, lap record This is my only chance of beating you, but a win is a win.

JeffC Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 its a Mk2 2006 apparently they are the same 05-08 ?? from what ive heard the latest mk3 ones are hard to set up Ive bought it as a rolling chassis , it has a pair of big motors on it but think he gave £1k each for em so didnt try and buy them so will be selling mine as a roller, James has 4 engines if anyone wants it as a runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the company was sold in 2007 to its new owners and the jig was reset and the chassis's after september 2007 are the ones to get. Not saying anything older than this is not quick but there was no consistency as the company was allegedly struggling. If the kart has proven results then luck would be on its side. Just passing on the information i got whilst looking for mine. Answering your question the mk2 went from 2004 - 2008. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffC Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Ross from what ive been told it was bought late 2006, raced at teesside with success in 2007, never turned a wheel in 2008, was sent back to 7kart in 2009 for axle carriers to be replaced (quite common ? ) and a checkover and general refresh and then raced twice at warden law since. Its apparently the same chassis as Mark Forsters ? here is a pic of it but I will prob stick my black bodywork on if im going to be racing against the log Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It was Graeme (Lard a** bob) who give me th information in my previous post and it looks as though it was once was run by one of his team. When the first test then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Pete Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well, the civics been mapped, went a bit the way of the pear though. Made a nice 188bhp peak figure but its all at the very top end of the rev range. The cams haven't even started to work properley, the vtec cam comes in at 7250rpm and power starts to be made at 7500rpm with max power right at the top at 8500rpm. So its overcammed basically. I'll be putting the old cams back in, well some less worn ones anyway and having it re-tuned. As it stands now, the car will be faster, it makes more power across the rev range, but its not by a lot, apart from the last 1000rpm. The old cams should make better power from 4000rpm and will possibly make better peak power as they are well within their 'power band'. Sounded good though: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums....024.flv Its a tough lesson but I'm glad I've learned it early on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
