It's getting raised a wee bit though. Almost lost my front splitter on the way home. A securing strap had come off a lorry and the large metal hook took a liking to my splitter You want to have heard the bang off it. I thought I'd been shot.

thanks.
the car was running well,well not while i had fuel surge a bit coming onto the pit straight.
the T4 did let go and that was the end of my day.
after the car settled down it was fine,so we just had to clamp the oil supply to the turbo and jam the turbo to stop it from spinning and then i drove it home,just got in 10 mins ago.
thanks to the lads that helped me sort it,Spiky,Rallyslag,JC,Mike etc..
the noise was a bit too much i think as the thrust bearing was fooked.
and yes i have another one Pete.

jsut got in myself, was a top day!!!
gutted the 1.1L fiesta got black flagged for excess noise but life goes on
dave thanks again for the passanger ride mate, it was awesome!!! some good sideways action round the back of the track. the escos pulls like a train!! especially at about 4k in 2nd, kicks you well up the arse!! we reeled in alot of cars on that session, all except the caterham nippy little fooker
that fuel surging does need sorting like, souned fucking mint when it done it the 1st time, it happens due to the car being caned until its on the brink of death
top day, could of done with a few more stalls there but the track action was spot on.

and what was causing the surge?
the fuel was not full when i started and it drank the fuel,once it goes below a certain limit the fuel tank cannot stop the fuel from getting thrown about.
the car was going well on the road tyres too.
sorry to Emma who got in and when she got out she was sick,though it was not my driving that caused that.

Top top day
Gutted for Marco, i'd just been chatting to him and he was advising me to get so rose jointed bottom arms for my Mk5 when I saw him in the pit's I told him i'd give it a miss
Could have been a lot worse tho...
Dave your Escos was awsome mate... loved it
And as for the Focus awsome, simply awsome.
