I'm allowing myself to get a bit excited about the coming season now that it is very close.
The car has been at PDQ having various things done.
I asked Larry to check the engine to see if anything needs doing. Nothing but new valve clearences and some oil. Not bad after 2 seasons of racing!
I also needed a new manifold as it was cracked beyond repair. This turned into a bit of an ordeal since the new Westfield manifold didn't fit so a bit of adaptation was required. We also created a new mounting point for the exhaust so that it didn't shake itself to bits which was causing the cracking.
Also had a power commander fitted. Some mid range power improvements so we'll have to see whether that shows up as quicker times.
I was due a Snetterton for a test day on Friday, and I only picked the car up from PDQ on the Thurday evening. Talk about cutting it fine. I was going to sort out a few other bits like the new front wings, but that will have to wait.
Test day report coming up next.
The dates are out for next season. These are the dates i'm likely to do:
14th March - Snetterton
4th April - Mallory Park
24th & 25th April - Brands Hatch
