It seems a shame to break such a good project. And an obviously loved car with so much attention to detail.

But you do have the cossie.

I say you should finish! You've put too much work in at this stage to break it after a small (sort of) hiccup

21psi- 198 Bhp/fly, 199 lbft/fly, 166 Bhp/wheel, 167 lbft/wheel

21psi- 203 Bhp/fly, 204 lbft/fly, 169 Bhp/wheel, 170 lbft/wheel


They were all recorded , in 28+oC ambients, and the car run 14 runs in total in 15-20 mins with out proper cool down stops, But ACT's, coolant and oil temps all stayed @ fine temps.


The greens the most power it made @ 21psi, 203bhp, 204lbft.

4 x 13.8's @ 102-104 mph at pod 8/04 with 27-29 0C ambients
Top speed on gps is 140mph at 6.6k in 5th. in under a mile.on old engine spec
6/06 @ Brunters for PF thrash, on new spec engine, did 133mph @ 6300rpm, but wouldn't rev any more, on 12psi and in under a mile from stand still. i also done 14.9@99mph in the wet, and 0-60 in 6.2.

i skimmed the pistons last friday night,

Skimmed and rebuilt head,
new shells, new ARP bolts, Balanced rods and pistons,

Cheers.


But since my last post, the oil pump failed and took out the bottom end, and since i havent touched the car.
and I've finally made up my mind, The xr2tt is now being broken for parts.

Here's a link for my forsales.

Sorry for no updates, as not really had any on my Cars.
I still have the Fiecos, but not rolled a wheel since 2006, but one day. .
The xr2tt was sold off in parts. As in 2008 - present I retook up riding and racing motor bikes. So proper been off the car scene since 2009 ish.

Things went a bit soar on 19.9.12, where after a road accident on my bike, I ended up on a life support machine, and with other injuries, my right leg was amputated above the knee, and my right arm/hand was paralyzed due to nerve damage.
Anyhow, after a wee spell in the NHS care, I'm getting back to life, running on my new robo leg, and been back riding after i adoated my 2007 Yamaha R1 race bike to all left hand controls, and been back on track since April this year, as well as racing again after having to prove I was able to ride at page to get my Race License back. My return race meeting in May i managed 2x 3rds and 2x 4th's. I'm just trying to bounce back as fast and hard as possible.
