Made it to Waterbeach this weekend for a bit of fun, unfortunately with a sporadic engine cut out problem which I suspect is the alternator given the battery voltage is dropping.That and the melted alternator terminal... Got a few good runs in though and shook the revised front suspension down - spent last week realigning it, new springs, alter the dampers and changed the bumpstops and torsion bar rates, the front is about spot on now, in fact we went over 2 foot by 2 foot square trenches designed to slow tanks down without being able to feel it through the car, so that's working well. The rear is on the soft side so we're just waiting for some new springs now, it's fine whilst in the forests or along most of the bumpy stuff, but it slams the rear skid plate onto the floor on the bigger jumps, always knew it wanted harder rear springs but now we know how much to go with, so the suspension is finally working at last.  She still runs a bit too warm even with the new scoop, so the exhaust manifold is coming off to be given an internal and external ceramic powdercoat, as it's the heat building up around the engine causing problems rather than the water/oil temp, it was damned warm weather though, which didn't help - 21* and blue skies, better than rain but wasn't helping the engine! Ended up having to shortshift and leave it in third in the tight stuff and letting it haul itself out to keep the exhaust temperatures down (and whoever says rotaries have no torque wants to come and sit in this thing, when it pulls itself from axle deep, out of soil full of clay, in a forest, at 2krpm in 3rd...) Other than that she's doing well at last, it might actually do a full event next month!  Got to try and sort a bit more silencing though, 105db driveby and 104 static where everyone else was 104 static and ~90db driveby....whooops ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Right, managed to get hold of some zirconium ceramic blanket that they use to line the furnaces at Corus - the stuff is an inch thick, and shall be wrapping the exhaust with it to try get even more heat out of the engine bay.If this doesn't sort it, nothing will, you can put a blowtorch at one side of it and your hand on the other and just about gets lukewarm... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Sorted the brakes out, stripped and regreased all the suspension arms/bushes, and the heat problem is finally solved.Adjusted the clutch slightly as it was slipping after a gearchange and then 2 minutes down the test track, into 4th gear, BANG. It's snapped the input shaft clean off the gearbox we think  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Well, the oil's still getting a touch warm, but she finished an event at last!  And she's got a shiny trophy with 1st in class on to prove it  And the best thing is, sort the oil temperature out next weekend and there's a lot more to come yet, it hasn't even got an LSD in it at the moment, it's 1-wheel-drive on the slippy stuff ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I think we got the highest jump too but waiting for them to confirm it, something like 25ft in the air and 75ft long.It's nice to actually finish an event after all the work that's gone into it, the trophy is a bonus! ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Couple of pictures from walking the course:                                            I've missed out all the tight twisty stuff in the bottom of the valley 'cause it was so slippy I was more concerned about not falling flat on my arse than taking pictures! No pictures of cars I'm afraid, I was rather busy when the cars were going around. Can't think why... The photo's of the downhill gravel bits are where I've turned around for a picture - it was bloody nearly all uphill bar the forest! And that big field you can see at the end of the gravel track goes over the hill - you go all the way around that - harder than it sounds, it was a 45* degree slope to slither across on the other side - and come back out the other side of the paddock you can see and down the hill into the slippery shit in bottom of the valley for a couple of miles. Actually remembered to take my camera with me on the walk-around for once! Trying to go around on knackered old push-bikes the day before was a bad idea though... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

She wants the back dampers valving a touch harder to suit the new spring rate - and I think a limited slip diff. to stop it being 1 wheel drive on the wet grass might help somewhat too - but she she's good enough to make you laugh in the cockpit: I haven't got any video of it on the faster gravel or forest bits yet, hoping someone sends some this weekend. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

There's some video from the previous round at the same place on Motors TV tonight at about 2:30-ish.No idea if it's worth watching from a TV perspective as they're limited to all-terrain tyres rather than proper off-road Fedimar/Sahara's, but if anyone's still up and bored... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
