2016 race dates and car changes

UPDATE,

New clutch fitted, flywheel got a clean up, new crank seal fitted. Crank has a slight groove from seals causing oil to leak past.
We fitted engine and run her up to temp, then the oil started to dribble down the sump !!!!
Seriously pissed off after thinking this was sorted....

Had the afternoon to play so whipped he sump off.... not as bad as I thought.
Gave the sump a good clean of all the silicone and noticed a crack.

Sump back on, just need to refill with oil in the morning. Then start her up.

Got a set of Kumhos 205/50/15 so got them on ready for Brands.

Another eventful day.......she really is testing me at the moment!!!
Put oil in, primed and started first time, let it get to temperature and bone dry.
Very happy to have finally solved the oil leak that has plagued us all year.

Switched off, did a few other jobs putting bumper ,grill on and tidying up a few bits.

Decide to run her up again while I get everything ready for Brands, spares etc.
Wont start.... no ignition, everything else works perfect but no ignition/ECU.
Check the obvious, fuses, wires to switch and cant find anything wrong.
Home I went to cut the grass :)

Sometimes - it's the only way.

Respect to you Dave - many do, and have thrown in the towel by now.
 
Yep, new switch and good to go...


You wouldn't believe how many people tell me to change car!!!
Can't wait for brands... You coming along Andy?

Not sure Dave, I think of I remember rightly, I might be in Ireland that weekend. I'm in Ireland from the 30th of this month for a week. Does that clash?
