Hows the car now mate?!?

You sounded WELL PISSED OFF when i spoke to you on the phone?!?!?

Pete..

 

well peeps

what a shit day for me right from the off and it went bad to worse

we got there nice and early about 8.15 am ,i then took the car straight up for noise test and it passes 94 db @ 4500 good mongoose full of unbrunt fuel over the yrs (loads of carbon)

anyway i went to the canope to collect my track passes.....and my first session was at 9.40 am. shite

we then rusted to park the car park quickly empted the boot , started to take the rd wheels off to fit my race wheels with the slicks .....

got them all on and the fronts tyres were touching the front bumper , so i took the grill off then tryed to mover the bumper forward but wasn't looking too good at all it was already on maxium adjust

so i thought Ahh !!! i can take the spiter of just to get 2 mm clearance, then re fitted bumper /grill , and thought i got abit of clearance so then drove to the pits to put the car on track turned the wheels and the bumper was hanging off

I thought shit 1st ession isn't happing

I then took the car back thought fook it , i'll put my rd whels back on the will have too do , re fitted the splitter back to the bumper

by this time i was getting close to my next session,but the track time was running late due to a pug that had a big off ,i mean i big off, total write off, which caught on fire , the impact was that hard it took the amaco out which they had to repair so evey one was behind about 2 hours or so

in the mean time i was in the que the car started to run on 3 cylinders for some reason and couldn't work out what was wrong with it ...

Steve Scott jump on me and scared the shite out of me didn't know what was going on

he said what wrong i said Steve "i don't know" it's only runing on 3 cylinders now and hasn't cleared...so fair play to him he said he i'll try and sorted it,

first thing we done was change the plugs ...still running on 3 , next thing we done was change the rotor arm , dizzy cap ...still running on 3, next thing we done , was to change the leads .....the was a place that we selling "twin core leads" ..i mean these leads would run your T.V ..and far better than the motorsport leads the guy done me a deal because i was a kind of stuck.. fair play to him

and after all this the car still running on 3 cylinders i said fook it i have had enough so i reversed the car and went back to park it up and watched a bit of track action

after a while.. i thought can't understand why it running 3 cylinders , anyway i went to the Tal stand and asked Mike has he got a volt tester , which he did have
so i then took the injector wire loom off and checked the voltage going to each injectors every one was working 12.45 volts each ....still scartching my head thinking was fooking wrong with this shed ... so i then tryed an other injector,
still runing on 3 cylinders

thats it i have had enough .........fook it i'm getting the AA to get the car home ,so we pulled at srvice station just of the m5 and waited for the AA

we get a call saying yes we will be there for 7.45pm so we waited bu this time meet gav and his mate and we were gasing ....the phone rings again AA saying sorry we would be able to recover you untill 10 pm .......i said to Ish fook it i'm driving home now waiting for them Fookers anyway the car started to run on 4 cylinders on tickover i looked at Ish baffled WTF , but as soon as i moved the car i would go to 3 cylinders ..this is mad

so we drove the car home nice and steady ....stoping evey 15 mile sometimes the whole engine would just cut out

this is what it costed just to try and get out on track

fuel Ł90 , plugs and cap,arm Ł30 lead special discount Ł60

and still couldn't get out on track what a pisser

anyway i still enjoyed myself ...and i would like to thank all the people for helping me yesterday

Steve Scott, Mike, Simon, Ryan, Ish, Gav and his mate you know what with the Rs lads
are top notch with out these peeps i would have gave up and probaly beat the car up

BIG thankyou to you all . sorry ib couldn't take you out on track
hopefully next time


The shed will not be ready for Rs National as it needs to be sorted ...i'm gutted but thats life ........i will still be going to watch but it's not the same as being out on track

Marco

 

marco polo, pisser marco, nice to say hi again

 

Gaz

chers bud and you

 

sounds like it might be your map sensor???

Mine did the same,only a guess though m8,hope your ok??

Give me a call when u can,need a favour!

Pete..

 

Fcuk.....sorry to hear that Marco.

I am sure you'll get everything sorted soon enough. I know how much you were looking forward to ND and believe me so many people were looking forward to seeing you on track. I am off until Tuesday..anything I can do to help..just ask man.

 

Strange thing to say - but that could have been fate telling you not to go out that day Marco.....

Got a week to ND - it just sounds like a sticking injector maybe ?

Make up some blocks to space the bumper out further for the track time and your there

 

Totally agree! So come on Marco...chin up fella. Plenty of time to show the wanna be track kings how to really take it round Donno.

 

didn't realise anything was actually wrong dude (from the pic).... hope you sort it bud.

 

cheers lads

i tyred everything except compression test...and leak test ...map sensor is fine pete

i would say it's defo electraical ...i'm really pissed off tobe honest

thanks anyway i'm going to leave it for a bit and sort it out properly

 

sorry to hear that marco, is proper frustrating when the car mess's up and theres no clue to wtf it is! your doing the rite thing by taking your time with it mate

 

unlucky mate ,been there ,done that ,got the t shirt,anything i can do just ask


jp

As i said yesterday mate no worries, sure you would have done the same if i had had the problem.

Can you believe that when we had just come off the M42 the AA was following us

 

Gav

I know the masterbaters

 

Marco

I was really worried about trying to get a pic of you when you was trying to sort the car, thought you may go off on one as you was stressed out

Gutted you didnt get it sorted though mate, was looking forward to seeing you on track

 

Tiff

LOL at the pics not bothered about them , it's a laugh

i was fooking anyoed with the fooking car tho ......i wanted to get out on track mate really bad thats why i tryed my very best to get it out there only if i had one session i would have loved it .......but shite happens i'll hopefully get it sorted soon

Marco
