Pete's Camaro

[Stuart]

I didn't find Woodbridge too bad for sprinting M; pretty smooth, very fast and not overly abrasive. I wouldn't write it off as a round anyway.....

*I will add that I didn't sprint this^ circuit........looks more like rally cross for the first third!!

Iv sprinted up the road at raf bentwaters but not Woodbridge so can't comment but looks good and i would be up for it
Christian your gtr would suit them long straights with your power

[Monster]

I recognise a lot of that area around the hangars from from TDs there. I seem to recall that it was a certain long fast right that killed a tyre there, also made the engine knock when I tried it on slicks too Doh!

But watching that video yeah it looks good. really long course and as you say trev, those straights would suit the gtr well, rather than some of the slower tighter courses I've seen.

Like the look of that

Those vents look brilliant Pete, Especially with the front bumper off - It looks rather menacing!

A little update on the car which i did before the Snetterton TD a few weeks ago . I have been meaning to do this mod for ages and finally got on a did it after i finished the vents .
There is a big gap between the front panel and the rad panel , as shown by the red arrows .

So i made up this infill panel to cover the gap and stop the incoming air blowing out through the gap between the bonnet and front nose panel

That is nice Pete and from the look of it should improve air flow through the rad.

[pjs65]

That's what i was looking for ,along with the vents the air should have an easier path to travel and not blow out through the gaps in the panels .

[pablo]

We've been thinking along the same lines.

Nice work Pete

Iam off to Snetterton again tomorrow to do a TD with Opentrack and have just finished a few little jobs on the car for that . I have changed the old Delco alternator for a Denso one as it was starting to sound its age .I don't only need massive amps so i bought a smaller 50 amp Denso for £15 , the yanks call them 1wire hook up alternators which is odd because it uses 4 . I had to make a new bracket to mount it and run a new switched live wire but it fitted and works fine .
I have also changed the old cast iron water pump for a smaller aluminium one and changed the steel pulleys also for Ali ones , as with the alternator probably 40 years old and due for a change .
Just a few pictures as i have to get ready for Snetterton

A box of bits from Summitracing , water pump , pulleys , high flow thermostat , ht leads and a hose
