ENGINE'S OUT
 

As above, now out and on my bench. Will start stripping it tomorrow, lots of oil where it shouldn't be :cry: Wasn't much left in the sump :(

Ade.

Hope you get it sorted out as quick as possible mate! You got any plans to make it bigger and better whilst its out or you gonna build back to the same spec?

Bet you can't wait to do that run in it! ;) :top:

Glad you got the engine out ok :top: :top:


Fingers crossed it only a piston



Dave

Dave how come your car didn't run thursday mate? :?

PF dave did invite me and the car

Didnt really want to break anything and also now got ade's gt30 of him but not fitted also now have a Fixit kit being built so didnt really see any point in running.

Hopefully will get a run at brunters at the end of the year to improve my figures.

Dave

Cool mate, hope all goes well! About time you stopped busting boxes aint it! :p :top:

Nice 1 Ade! you dont mess abaout do ya? :DD:

Hope things aint 2 bad, onward & upward and all that :top:

Dan, was already for built for 600+ brake, I'd only just fitted the GT35R a week ago.Was 530 before with the GT30. Really gutted it failed at Brunters, was really going well. Will see what the damage is, hopefully new pistons only. Really looking forward to getting back to Brunters to prove what she'll really do. We were on for 190 plus, with only 2.1 bar and in the wet:D

Hi Dave, hope your journey home wasn't too bad, sorry it was a bit longer than we had planned :cry: I started about 3.30 this afternoon, wanted to get it out ready to start stripping. Was supposed to go to a party tonite but Mandy hurt her back this morning, so that won't be happening :( Been running around getting her to Doctors/getting prescriptions all morning :roll: Would have had it in pieces by now otherwise, she was in fooking agony though poor lass. Will speak to you soon mate.

Ade.

Too right mate :top:

Cheers Andy,

Ade.

Cool, hope it is just a piston, will look forward to seeing the results! :clap: :top:

how can you go to bed so early, with only 10 bolts to take head off ;) and see what's up

go on chop chop...lol :content: :cry: :top:


sad to here the bad news though dude :(

Yeh, gutted wee man. Still, we came away alive, it started to rain as we approached the bottom bend, no wipers, Sheady telling me to accelerate, I said I couldn't see, he said go faster then it will clear the water from the screen :eek: opposite lock at approx 70mph :cry: Nearly drove into the trees, straightened up and nailed it. Not long after it went pop :cry: :cry:

I'm not going to rush it, I'll be ready to go again in the new year :top: :top:

Ade.

How did this man do 200+mph in the WET!? :cry: :cry: :cry:

Shocking, it really is, on that run it was all about Mark and not the car! lol :cool: :clap:

Dan, he's on a different level, he took me out 2 or three times in the morning when we were sorting the boost, every bend we were on nearly full opposite lock all the way round :top:

Ade.

lol Superb, would love to see the guy drive, or be driven by him! :banana:

Only footage ive got is Mark driving Rod's car at TOTB 1 :top: :clap:

Good to hear you straight on it.

real shame it let go, :(


hope it all works out, i know wots its like, just after a full build, and live map, then goes pop, with out any sure reason.

Try Rain-X, it works.....

Good luck with the repairs :top:

Thanks mate. We want to know what has failed as Rod and I are running the same pistons, so if there is something drastically wrong we can prevent any further failures. So disapointed, we were so going to piss past 190mph :wall: . Never mind, it'll have to wait a little while :D

Ade.

Gutted for you Ade :(


But suppose looking on the bright side at least it happened this time of year.


Most gutted as i want a ride when i was back Xmas :cry: ;)

Sure it will be back and will no dought crack the 190mph barrier :cool: :top: :top:

Fingers crossed for as little damage as possible pal.
