Default My race car engine rebuild/upgrades *update p3 09/4/14 * dyno done with video 455BHP*

After the highs of my first ever outright race win in 2012 the rest of the season turned into a nightmare for me as my car constantly missfired above 20psi boost despite trying almost everthying to cure it, it also was using 3/4 of a header tank of water every race so the assumpton is a water loss issue, into the cylinder causing the missfire.

I'm sitting out most of the 2013 season to rebuild the engine and fit some new upgrades to the car 3.9 diff/drop gears, compression struts and a 6" rear beam to name a few.
The engine is going to martins at reyland to be sorted

I didn't take the engine out straight after the last race as we had a 2 post ramp to install in the unit, unfortunately that took a little longer to do and we were soon in february!

Finally today I went down there and put the car on the ramp for the first time to get started, today was just getting the bolt off bits undone, I will drop the engine /box out tommorrow
I have to say the ramp is superb i've need had one before and couldn't do without it now!

Quite inpressed with the condition of it underneath considering it started life with me as a 100 quid banger!















will update tommorow
