Thank you.

Made some more progress with adjusting my gear linkage a bit more, 1st and third were more like siamese twins before!
Also looking to tap my inlet for a single fogger nitrous install and look to direct port over the winter..
May also lose the dash and fit a snazzy dials and gauge panel to save some more weight!

June the 18th needs to hurry up so i can play

[Rusty dan]

took the car out, brakes are good, gears are good, engine is good too! Need to spray the wheels now and then play time!

Uneventful run out to be fair as nothing has broken lol

love this car - PURE. Going to Inters with it?

[Rusty dan]

Not sure Sean, the car needs tax and mot still and the money for the events each month takes its toll on being social with it lol.

Be sure that it will definately be out come Beaulieu 2010!!


next round 19th-20th June at the pod

Racicng this weekend woohoo!!!!

Not much to do, tyres back on wednesday then out for a few hard drag starts to see how we are hooking up.


Decided to Satin Black the wheels and will be adding white OZ Racing lettering. This will be changed in the future to Nitruss Racing

[Rusty dan]

well, had a good weekend with the car.

Car was as bad running as the times were consistent. Qualified 4th and lost first elimination by .0410 of a second! (my reaction time basically)

Worked out I was using about 110bhp for the run which is certainly not a 16v motor in a car weighing less than 1tonne

Best run was 17.58 at 74mph! Fundemental problems definately.

Engine is going to be reworked in the space of a month ready for Bug Jam! Also taxed and mot'd

Best pull my finger out!

[Chaps]

Wheels are looking good matey.
17.58 is abit less than what I was expecting though? I'd have thought you'd have been getting in the 15's? What do you think the problems are Rusty?

[Rusty dan]

Think the problem is defo timing, I have not had it timed back up properly since putting the 16v box on so i can see the markers for timing properly.

The distributor is so far from around the centre its too wrong to be right. I have it upside down as well as advised by someone way back when.. need to get back to basics in all areas regarding timing (cam/timing belt and ignition timing,

Pull it apart and start again.. I will get it right and get the high 14's I am expecting. I still made good progress from going 24 seconds at 48mph to 17.58 at 76 lol

Pic from the weekend on Eurodragster (they had plenty of time to get a good one lol)

[G Beats]

looking good iam sure you will get it going good and will make all us rocco drivers proud that there is a rocco doing it at santa pod this year. Nice DJ Geebeats.

[Rusty dan]

timing was a tooth out, now I got to sort out fuel/air mixture and idle screw to get her running properly. Bit of a bastard the other night so will go back with a fresh mind.

Certainly improved the engine tone and is now crisper on the exhaust note.

Cheers

In other news...
I will be giving up the racing and my workshop due to personal circumstances for the forseeable future. I will defo return to it but at present, my girls are the most important thing...

Perhaps I might get the car out to a show or two for time outbut nothing is certain at the moment.

[Chaps]

Good to hear you got the timing sorted mate. Its a shame your not going to be racing anymore, but understand you have other commitments! I'll be keeping an eye out for an update never-the-less!

[G Beats]

rrrr thats a real shame but i understand fam more important than cars , very pleased to see you have got her running right let me know when u take her to the santa pod again and how u get on m8 ok?

Ok that is great news looking forward to hearing about it all.

[Rusty dan]

Sorting out the idle problem tonight and looking whats needed for MOT, so far it is a brake bulb, washers for the windscreen and a rear view mirror.
