I was pretty bummed yesterday as it was a long day for little return, but I learnt a few new things and I they were important leanings so I will focus on the positives. There was lengthy delays with the accident that Rocco was in. It was 2 cars in front of me so we had a wait of about an hour and a half. At least it looks like he was ok. Onwards and upwards.....

it's always a learning curve, you pick something up each meet. don't get too disheartened there are guys with alot more experience, knowledge and $'s that have trouble getting it right, sometimes things just happen no matter how hard you try and have everything as sorted as you can. i heard yesterday about Rocco's accident. he should be ok. |

What are you using for the overflow bottle? can you fit a second overflow bottle to catch it if it over fills again? Thats what I did for mine.
Whats do you use the CO2 I assuming cooling the intercooler but I am not sure how that effects boost etc. Good luck hope you have all sorted and get some good runs in looking forward to seeing it at jambo |

if you fill up an overflow bottle or catch can then you have a serious problem best position for one would be behind the rear wheels at high speeds you don't want any type of fluid getting under your wheels. people see a R2D2 looking thing on the back of mine, it's actually not R2 its my catch can, it's about 6L if it fills up it dumps behind my back wheels i have water, oil, tranny fluid everything running to mine, it's about 6L i think. |

Yep - CO2 to control boost pressure. We really need to get the two-step working, so will play with that between now and jambo maybe.

So no Jambo for me......found out the problem from last meeting seems to have broken converter. It must have sustained some damage from when the flex plate broke. We don't have enough time to get it sorted so my meet is over before it began. Bummer!!

On a brighter note - I went and saw Pete at Elf trailers down at Ingelburn and ordered me a sweet new trailer. Highly recommended and can't wait to get the trailer in the next 3-4 weeks. Having my own trailer is the last piece of my racing puzzle. I will now be self sufficient and that was an important milestone for me to get to. Can't wait!!!

Turbos look sweet - congratulations! Can't wait to see your car out and racing! Not sure about the event in May. I am hoping to be back out at he test n tune on the 28th of April. Converter has been sent off to be be looked at and the box will have to be pulled down and cleaned as some fine metal went into it from the converter. Let's hope it only needs cleaning and doesn't have any damage!!! Hopefully we can still get it back on the dyno for a little more love before coming back out. I am keen on getting the two step sorted before we come back out so that I can get some more practice racing the tree. Perhaps I will flick Spiro a message. I haven't actually done that yet....
