MAY NEWS
Yo, this
was hell week !
Wendsday 14 May we got the engine here, put it in the car and
finished up saterday. All due plan. till... Leon ( eagle eye we
call him )
found
a leak at the rear axle housing. ( wich we inspected over the
winter )
we
took it apart to find that both spindles ( that goes into the
housing ) were cracked ! panic... were and how to fix
this. A call to andy robinsson, and he said you need to be here
monday morning first thing and i will fix it. So get out the
complete rear housing cleaned it and put it in the trunk to rush
to Andy ( UK ). He started at 08"00 till 22"00 put it back in
the trunk drove home
(
tuesday 06"00 ) sleep few hours, put back in the race car,
finished up some things, threw everything left into the trailer
and went off to the pod
( cause we still wanted to test at thursday ) Only to find out
that there was
a
strike going on at the france harbour ! $#@!! it took me 24
hours to get to the pod. to late for testing.
o.k
friday recapp, we started the engine ( wich sounded REALLY
strong ) everything looks ok.
Billy
flying in at saterday, but then the trouble started again, his
bag was not in the plane ! full with parts we needed. On the
track we put the new setup in the engine and went out.
blew
the tires off at the hit. pedal it, get it back and drove a 7,1
with a little pop at the end. back in the pits the burst panel
was out. the plugs looks ok. nothing burnt and shows way rich..
founded the problem ( we tought ) a stucked injector. some
piece of shit was in cil 1 injector. so changed the clutch took
out power and went out again.
blew
the tires at the hit, pedal and went to the back, were i had a
funny car explosion just before the finish line ( nobody saw it
! only lex joon who was looking at the top end ) BIG fire that
went out right away, what happend
was
that the manifold just cracked due the backfire the engine gave,
it melted the co2 lines to the lean out system
that
sprayed co2 right away and put out the fire. pff.. lucky me..
Back
in the pits billy good not belief what he saw. they all tought
nothing happend.
next.
what happend. well we screwed up big time. stuppid.stuppid
after
looking better into the data it shows we were making some
mistakes
we
ware lucky we did not burnt the engine down to the ground.
For
now it looks like only the manifold is gone, this engine is much
stronger, no valves damaged, no valve springs !
all
bearing looked like new. the blower is ok.
just some TLC
back
to start. and all over again.
we
will fix this.

DECEMBER NEWS
We went to the PRI show, and had a great weekend.
Full report from Dennis:
Pro Dutch at Performance Racing Industry
It was a cold morning and the weather was forecasting freezing rain for the next three to five days, BUT we were on our way to the airport and sunny Orlando, Florida. We were going to attend the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show for the first time and being in a nice warm place was going to make it even better. Unfortunately to get to Florida there were other airports to pass through and the freezing rain caused a delay of just over two
hours...............(more)
