Last year was so disheartening, first the failure at Donnington due to the dog box interlocker being crap, and me selecting 1st from 8500rpm in 2nd! Result, one destroyed engine. Second the oil cooler hose bursting at Silverstone resulting in a big fire, and damage to the engine again. The final straw was the night before Knockhill, when 1st decided to lock up on the output shaft just as i selected 5th at 165mph! Result, a lock up and another destroyed engine, plus box, plus clutch.
Last year cost a fortune, and that was it, i had given enough time and money to the cause and i was neglecting my business. So i started selling stuff.
Over Christmas i decided i was going to keep the car, and just after Autosport i started on preparing the car ready for this season.
Will try take some pics of where the car is at, and keep you updated.
Duncan, no probs re splitting the thread. I thought i had been on the beer and forgotten i had started a thread
The car stood in my dads barn from Knockhill untill Christmas when i had to move it back home, as he has sold the farm, so lost all my facilities such as ramp and space.
You can see in the pics where the flywheel left the crank, and the damage its done, including destroying the oil pump at the other end of the crank!
