Bad luck today Andy, 3rd and DNF due to fuel surge/misfire. Charlie won both races - well done. Knockhill was burning hot all day today - most unusual!!! Some pics up later.

there was foam from the tank blocking the filters,,, had a bit of a miss at end of the race at croft then time attack at knockhill it came back so we changed leads etc then was ok for a bit,, so when i got home i changed few other things , crank sensor etc, went up today and did it in qualifing,,, reckoned it was a fuel problem by this point changed the pumps and filters,, and when we went to clean the pre filters the were clogged with fuel so clean them and done the first race and it was ok for a bit then came back,, managed to stay first till last lap!!ened up third,, so we checked the pre filters again and they were full of foam so we cut the top of the tank open to find the baffles had burst off chaffing the foam to shreads so we removed the foam and patched it back up but was still getting bad fuel surge!!

Any further updates on the new engine, turbo, etc.? Did you manage to sort out your fuelling issues you had at the last race meet?

How hard is it to remote mount the font diff? As I'm about to get the mk6 4x4 fiesta cosworth shell underway and need to decide on these things before starting the work and like the idea of not have to me with it when engine needs outing etc,

also well done on new engine figures
