So Martin where is this track? Can I bring big bird for a run onit? Ha

Aw man if I saw this post in time yeah you could have run.

Had a good and bad day with the car though

Was getting used to driving it then played with tyre pressures and got that sorted then dad had a drive and I jumped in straight after and was having a real go at it when I noticed smoke from under the bonnet then lots of lames from oil fire

Stupid bonnet clips meant we took about 30 seconds not 5 to get bonnet undone and put fire out

Burnt some wiring and coil lead and overflow bottle as well as the bonnet itself.

All because of the stupid plastic line for the oil pressure gauge which got hot and melted spraying oil everywhere

Still can all be fixed, at least it happened on a Test day and not the first event.

    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
    • Sequential Is fine to drive on the street
