Horry Shiet! Did you win Tatslotto or something? That's some nice gear you've got there.

Well you see, Mat works in packaging, and he has started doing some packaging of some unique products. Small in size, but large in quantity. :whistling:

cardboard aero incoming!

Actually if you look back in the pages around 30-40 somewhere there is actually a good mate fitting some up as a joke lol

So i have started up a Facebook page to i can keep updates more regular as the car has been off the scene for some time getting upgrades.

The decision was made to create a dedicated race car as that where it was enjoyed most.

If you want to keep up with the updates then head to the "Wootten Racing" page on Facebook.

For now, this is the current status of the car -

Our new team logo was designed and sketched up by my fiance Carmen.

Chris has managed to take the original sketch and produce this logo which is just awesome -

GT%20Wooten%20-%20Logo%202_zpsdg9wrc2x.j

Very happy with the result.

Man all you need is a dog box and its pretty much set. The Nazi tank neo is holding up well.

Neo is still holding up OK at this stage... Jez and I are waiting on our MOROSO accumulators as we are both setting one up for Nulon Nationals RD3 as we are both having oil pressure dropping under braking, the new brake and tyre combo will just make things worse i imagine so time to sort that out!

Cant wait to see this monster in action!!

Soon mate, will be booked in with Nitro Dann for some fab work over the next fortnight, then to the panel shop and then to JEZ... After that its time to test!

Like your work

Glad you like it, coming to a track near you soon ;)

Wow. I can't believe where the car has gone over the years. That engine is holding together well!

Its done a lot of hard work and been enjoyed every step of the way... I was worried what you might have thought :wave:

I told you i would never get rid of it though :D

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
