GT6boy Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 That was a shame the TR7 scuffed its side on the pads, it was pristine until then. A really nice looking car by the way, very well finished indeed 8). On my penultimate lap before meltdown, I made a complete pigs-ear of the self-same corner and very nearly did the same thing :B in fact- it was so bad, I shouted at BobbySpit in the car with me to grab the wheel and help get me round the corner! The next lap, we sailed around that corner and the one following in perfect gear/braking etc. and Rob had just congratulated me on doing it properly when the engine died! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocita Rosso Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Even though some said my Spitfire seemed to be going well round Cadwell, it was not spot on. Found out today why...........got my own Farraday experiment going on under the Bonnet..........sparks tracking all over the dizzy cap to earth. Still, at least I managed to complete the day and get home alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenV8Machine Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Word of warning on the pi heater valve extension tube, the top of the valve MIGHT rub on the bonnet tube running across the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99176 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Cheers for that mate. As soon as I've got the speedo working that's my next job.Think I'll ditch the heated manifold completely.Nice cold, dense charge. Who needs economy eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 A few days after event, but I seem to have been well away from an internet for 4 days. As others have said, thanks to all involved, a thoroughly enjoyable day.The old Spitfire behaved itself again for the 100+ miles of track laps, despite seeing 7000 revs on several occasions. My rattle at idle, has turned into a washing machine of spanners - but it shuts up once over 2000 revs. I'm hoping it's the alternator.I had the in-car camera on for a few sessions so will do a montage of people coming past me, once I've edited it down a bit.Russell.

Bit of a cutie his car eh!Must say that both Bruce's and Roy's cars were looking good at Cadwell. Nice that four roundtail GT6s and one roundtail Spit were there.

Nice of you to say Tim- thank you :)! It really was an exceptional day, the people, the cars, the circuit, the organisation, the weather etc 8).I'll start a thread on the car's malady in the GT6 section. http://club.triumph.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum10/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1241636086/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
