thanks for the well wishes guys, Mum & bub are at home and doing well.

Hey Tristan, bit early for me to leave the wife alone i think, i wont push my luck yet.

have to buy a drum of fuel and give it a check over as i havent had a look under it since i went off a couple of times.

want to repair the front bar too.

i think we have another one in a couple of months, and i might take it down to wakefield before then.

hope your well for OP, youll have a great time. Caution through turn 1 lol.

Thanks for all your suggestions and input also, just have been offline for a while and unable to reply till now.

Congratulation with a Baby girl!

Sorry for beeing so late with the gratulation, but I stopped recieving E-Mail when this thread is updated...

How is she? Found a name for her?

Best Wishes

Morten and Caroline

[BezerkR32]

thanks guys, her name is Ella Jade. She is doing well, put on 440grams last week.

Going to have a play with the car this weekend, firstly going to test the valve springs as the mechanical missfire at high RPM can only be them, and have heard some rumours about Comp valve-springs having this problem. Get my missing 20 killer wasps back.

Going to remove and repair front bar, swing a spanner over car and fabricate an engine cover/intake duct to insulate the intake from the headers and direct some air from the front bar. Also going to check for any damage due to my off track excursions lol. Hope to have it ready in a week so i can go to next event that pops up.

have narrowed missfire/harmonic down to the Yella Terra rocker arms after springs tested fine. Have re-installed standard arms as to run it on dyno on saturday and see if problem is gone, a little birdy told me that Yella Terra has re-designed this part number, nice of them to tell us.

Bar is off and getting repaired, and will do engine cover soon, lots of track days coming up.....going to put a passenger seat in also as to get some driver tips this time, might need headsets though lol.

Too bad that the rocker arms are failing, but it is good to know that they are easy to replace... What brand of rocker arms are you choosing if it is the rocker arms that are the problem?

I hade a test run with my car on the road this saturday, and the CAM I am using is just mean!!!

Without proper tuning (Running between 11.0 and 11.5 AFR) I managed to get it to spin at aprox. 4000 rpm in 4th gear... Started rolling at 2000rpm in 4th gear and floored the throtle, and I am running 235/40-18 Road Slicks...

Hoping that the Rocker arm change works for you!

[BezerkR32]

its OK, if our tests confirm that the ams are the issue then Yellaa Terra will be replacing them or reimbursing me, i can guarantee you that. Hey Morten, how good are 4th gear skids lol.

our diagnosis was confirmed today, the car was perfect. clean power curve through too 7000rpm and beyond.

put some fuel back in here and there but overall tune was good. Running it a bit fatter for security but still making 400hp and 1600 lb of torque. So will be chasing rocker arms up this week.

Fitted GTR Grille purchased off forum which looks great. Bar is in for repair.

All is looking good for October track day.

Any idea what the issue is with the roller arms? too heavy and causing valve float / bounce?
