Are you daring the dyno and the 1/4 mile brett?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I won't be able to bring mine along now.

Would be good to get a new power figure for it, but house move has stopped any progress being made for months. :(

Did a demo hillclimb on Sat/Sun, for the first time and had a lot of fun, so thinking about turning up at Santa Pod on the Sunday just to see how slow I am.

If its a tenner for a day out that cant be bad .

Driving up from Bath in the van - must be at least 100 miles to get to Northants from where I live !

Might have to dip out on the strip depending on whether I can convince the wife. Got shit loads of DIY to do.

RoB H - do you want a lift up on the Sat - I promise not to pop the head gasket this time ?

Should give the van a full workout before I even get there.

Got to change the actuator tonight - I want more control at lower boost than the current 9 lb spring will allow with the boost controller so I'm re-fitting the std actuator. The controller will then be able to a better job from 4 psi on instead of the base being 9 lbs.

Also re-torquing the head down tonight after 250 miles post gasket change, and changing out the metty alternator for one of Matt's ND jobs.

Really looking forward to it.

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Highly likely I'm out now too owing to exploding tyres (in another thread)......

I'll still try but, after today, motivation is low....

Err. The van is most probably out. Bottom end is shafted. But we will be there anyway.

Until I find out why a brand new performance tyre failed catasrophically while being fitted to one of my wheels, the other three will not be used by me.

The chances of getting an answer in two weeks time (or another set of wheels and safe tyres) is rather low, but I'm afraid my life is worth a bit more than £200 (the cost of the tyres), well it is to me anyway !!!

My RR fee (already paid) goes to the rest of you for a few more runs.

My project is abandoned until I get an answer over the tyre failure.

Its a bk450, its not damaging the firing ring, but its separating the black laminate area into the water way around no 1 into the coolant hole

Ill get some pics up in another thread.

Its done it on 2 now and i think it did it on the gasket last year too.

It needs a freshen up anyway so ill get the block and head skimmed but I havent got the money to spend on it on lasting a couple of hours as i need to do the oil now too

BOOOOO

You never know...

We might do a Jimster and get it built in the eleventh hour.

That said, all new bearings in the bottom end on top of the rest is pushing it.
