My diff is fitted, hows those new tyres coming?  Guess the mot man went easy following having to remortgage to buy enough paper for the fails on the saloon

Thanks guys

I will try what Pete says this weekend.

Richard Brake came around and we checked a few things I am going to start with wheel boxes and work back just like you guys suggested.

Hi All

My wipers are not traveling though their full range, the play in the system seems to be in the wiper motor gearbox as the car is a mk1 pi its a two speed motor.

My question is are the single speed and 2 speed gearboxes the same? (hoping I can swap the motor over)

If their not does anyone know where I can get the one I have overhauled?

Cheers James

Its was a good day,  well organised by the CSMA. The day was nice and dry with 40 cars from Mx5's to the 2012 Merc AMG 6.3L with a sport tuned engine which lapped most cars and me in the spit quite easily.

Hi Ellis

Can someone let everyone know what Autosolo's are in the mini series as there has not been any mention of the Series and if its running this year?

Regards

Hi have booked up in the Spit, looks like I have the smallest car and engine  ??)

James

I have KYB's on my saloon and have had not problems with them. I also had Gaz on my gt6 and they were great, they are also now on Richard Brakes spit now.

James

If it was me I would first open up the cylinder and check that the inside is not damaged or rusty as fitting new seals would be pointless.

You can also check the size.

Thanks Mike

Ok so I removed the sump tonight the oil pump was shot the all the bearings have failed, I will post some picture tomorrow.

James

I do have to say that I am going to blame Matt even if it wasn't him as he did beat me. I guess I could blame him for the alternator bolt snapping on the way home to, ;D

I will check the prv valve first. I have spare sets of shells, and a spare oil pump.

So its going to be a couple of late evenings as the car is entered this weekend.

Great guess I need to get the spare crank reground then.

Ok so last week Matt Helm and I were using my car at the Csma Auto solo. At the end of the day the oil pressure had dropped to 30 psi at 3000 rpm and dropped to between 5 and 10 psi at idle.

I thought that this was just due to the abuse that Matt and I had been giving the car all day. When I arrived home I left the car to cool down till the next evening. When I started the car the next day the oil pressure was back to normal at about 65-70psi. I took the car for a drive about 8 mile and when the engine got back up to normal temp the oil pressure dropped off again.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this

Thanks Nick

Can anyone tell me if the 1500 spitfire non overdrive gearbox and the overdrive gearbox housings are the same casting?

Thanks James

Thanks Alex yes it looks like bad sun burn.

Mr Ferny. I will bring some for you to Sixpenny Handley and exhaust tape to.

Andy and I have decided to make up for it, by doing the next 10cr instead next year.

Hi all it’s a sad day as car 15 has had to pull out. I have known that I was going to need knee surgery on both my knees for a while, but following MRI’S on both knees they booked me in Monday just gone for ligament surgery. All went well but with no driving for a week and no kneeling for 4 weeks, we are having  to pull out.

I would like to wish everyone the best of luck and will hope to see ALL of you at the Sixpenny Handley Control, subject to walking ok and not like Frankenstein’s monster.

All the Best
James and Andy

I forgot about the sock driving, If you had sensible shoes it would help, dont think up in these helped

What can I say about Matt, last sunday. Think the picture says it all.

James

Its for the spitfire and not the Gt6. Just need it to switch the fan on.

James

Hi all

I am looking to fit a radiator fan switch, but am not sure what temp I need.

Would the car being setup for doing autosolos and track days make any difference ?

Does anyone know what temp I should be using?

Thanks James

I have to get the MPG up on my Pi as 11 MPG might cost is bit in fuel
