Guest DIRTgarage

Well done Duncan and the boys from BSM, I heard there were a lot of accidents on the weekend!!

Did Jeff Fear from SSS race??

The DP's/DIRTgarage formula ford came a creditable 15th place in only its second outing...i think there were 26 starters. We nearly got taken out on saturday by the vodaphone entry, but some evasive action by Darin kept the weekend together.

Duncan also neglected to mention that Saturday night saw him come down with a nasty cold which has kept him home today!!! Not a bad drive Sunday for someone with a head full of snot!

Bad luck on the clash with the Voda drivers Paul- we've had a few run ins with two of those drivers in the past when they used to race a different class!

gee thanks for sharing the head full of snot info kel.

I just looked at the sheets again and saw that Walls RX-7 did a 1.12 in the race. no wonder he shot past us on the straight like we were standing still. d'oh.

1.12? fark.  I want slicks.  Production sports cars are cheaters :(

haha, that's what they say about your AWD. Even my mate Alan in the birght yellow 1974 911 is lapping quick enough to be second on the grid in improved open class, and he is running in class B prod sports!!

Anyway, enough of my useless comparisons. any word on your engine yet? are we looking at new hose or new plug?

Also, Spencer said if you need any brake fluid let me know as we have heaps now and he got it pretty cheap and will happily sell you some at cost. He went a bit nuts and bought 24 litres... It seems to handle the temp much better than the brembo race fluid we had and it's less than half the price. noice.

it looks like we wont be racing at wakefield as rob's not to keen. also not a good track to take such a nice car like the GT3 as it's often just one big carnage fest. I may come down with you guys though. I reckon you should be pretty competetive at wakefield.

Go Duncan, is this likely to be televised?

Unfortunately I don't think combined touring has paid it's TV coverage fees this season for this round so I don't think it will be.

Prod Sports will be though :rolleyes:

It's a shame that some of the combined teams I think weren't willing to pay or didn't pay on time, something like that. I'm sure duncan can elaborate. It's such a great category to watch too, i'm sure it would go down well on the telly.

Actually the TV coverage is an "interesting" deal.

We put in place an agreement with AVE to televise the year at a price. They then came back with a price 20% higher 4 weeks later and said take it or leave it.

We called their bluff and left it.

However each of the first 3 rounds various competitors including BSM came up with the money for coverage, I did not hear confirmation if this round was done.

It will also get coverage in Motorsport news next issue :cheers:

Richard I had a chat to Spencer, can you grab 2 bottles I'll give it a run at wakefield ;) Will give you a shout about logistics once I know the deal with the car...I have to decide whether to enter tomoz too :)

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
