 Expert Posts: 5629     Location: Letchworth/Basildon | Not good, hopefully you'll have it sorted soon. How did you convert to hydrolic clutch? Specifically what did you do with the clutch pedal? Cheers  | ||

You did it the proper way then  I'm looking at the budget methods  | ||

Expert Posts: 5629 Location: Letchworth/Basildon | jasonr - 12/8/2010 3:55 PM I'm sure there is a guide on how to do it on the web using an mgf pedal box and a metro pedal box I havnt been able to find it  I'll keep looking though, cheers  | ||

Expert Posts: 2230 Location: Ripon, North Yorkshire | Took the engine out yesterday to investigate the loss of drive at mallory. here is what I found...   Hmm that doesn't look good, also found bits of friction material. here's whats left of my clutch   Luckily I had already ordered a new clutch kit, so fitted that and the engine is now sat back in the engine bay. I think I will fit a stop on the clutch pedal to may sure I don't over extend the release bearing. | ||

Expert Posts: 2230 Location: Ripon, North Yorkshire | Castle Combe on monday, I managed to get onto the AAA grid - me and 5-600 bhp turbo nutter bastards. Good test for the car and thats what I wanted and only cost £199 for 15 min qual, 15 min race and then a 15 lap race. First 10 minutes of the second race, rolling start. The picture is a bit wobbly at the beginning but once we start racing it stays steady  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH84AZ3be8M will get the second part 9 minutes long up later | ||

Expert Posts: 2230 Location: Ripon, North Yorkshire | I started the first race at the back on row 14, for the second race I started row 7 . The old adage in order to win first you have to finish comes to mind. Your second race grid position was based on your first race finishing position. I didn't finish last in the second race though - one of the m3's came in after me | ||

Expert Posts: 2230 Location: Ripon, North Yorkshire | watching motors tv last night and the car made it onto national tv . The AAA race I was in at castle combe, you can see me getting monstered by 300+ bhp scoobies/evos and skylines Also heres some trackside footage from cadwell last weekend, where I lost the front brakes 2 laps from the end and then they set on fire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMnz5xaaSog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxW4746WKVk Edited by jasonr 18/9/2010 4:01 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 2230 Location: Ripon, North Yorkshire | My new tyres have turned up for the race car, I've got some kumho v70a's 175/60/13. They feel grippier than the yokos, and have a wider tread area . Racing next weekend at silverstone in the birkett 6 hour relay on the gp cct | ||

Expert Posts: 2230 Location: Ripon, North Yorkshire | Think I've found out why all the brake fluid disappeared from brake reservoir. Pulled the brake off the car on friday and this is what I found.    This is whats left of the other pad  And this is the pads from the drivers side  I've also made up new front brake lines with braided hose from the bulkhead to the caliper on each side. | ||

Cheers, good day apart from the rain at 1445ish. Yes the yellow 216 was with one of our other teams - it's an ex chanllenge car. I've got to say I'm not a fan of the gp cct though. | ||

Expert Posts: 2230 Location: Ripon, North Yorkshire | Two pics from cadwell which I picked up at the end of the year. First one is going into the mountain and the second one is where my brakes failed going into the mountain. You can see the grass flying in the air.   Edited by jasonr 11/1/2011 12:11 PM | ||
