Nice one mate, does look like an interloper with all those Beemers.

[JT]

After my adventures at Donny, I have repaired the front bumper
Thanks to TC for yet another splitter



Also fitted rear coilovers, so not only do I have adjustable ride height ( meaning the car can now be corner weighted )
its also a lot lower at the back and I have now swapped the IPD ARB back to a standard one, I have almost eliminated all the bounce in the rear.








All I have left to do is fit a bulkhead to seal off the boot, to keep the scrutineers happy.
Looking forward to Oulton Park in 2 weeks time, to see if I can get any closer to the beemers.

What are you doing with the IPD ARB?

[JT]

nothing, it will sit in the garage till I'm confident I don't need it

[T5frankie]

are you the only non bimmer racing? are they all 328i's? why are they so fast?

[JT]

they are E36 3ltr M3's running 200KG+ lighter than me

Oh and they are better drivers than me!!

thought I would get that in before Stribo gets on his soap box again! lol

i think you should do what that bloke at Donny suggested, get somebody else to drive it lol

[JT]

who said that? I don't remember.....or maybe I just blocked it out?! lol

anyway, where's the fun in that? let someone else have all the fun?? I don't ££££ing think so!!

& you say i've got a 5h1t memory. Not sure who he was, but said you've built a quick car but needs a better driver & suggested you let someone else race it lol

When you're confident you don't need it, can I have first dibs?

I'd never do that mate, at least you're getting out there and doing it, it's easy to critisise from the comfort and safety of a sofa. That being said, if you do need a reserve driver..................

[Nealevo]

I did offer at Donny

I remember that conversation lol

What do you know about driving?

that was someone on youtube!!

[JT]

well a small update ( not that anyone is interested, lol )

bulkhead in development, not finished, but not far away









and you can just about see it through the windscreen, if you can ignore the lightsaber! lol




still need to seal it all up, but very happy with it so far

[claymore]

Looks good to me

[p fandango]

i bet that was fun to get into place with the roll cage there, looks good but your stickers not in the centre lol

[claymore]

I have a question, how have you managed to do two seasons without a rear bulkhead?

[JT]

I have a question, how have you managed to do two seasons without a rear bulkhead?

I've only been pulled up on this twice
Castle Combe and Donny.

As the swirl pot is fitted with the proper fuel connections,
it should be fine, but some scrutineers, see it as a risk having the
pot in the same compartment as the driver.

So get it done and there's no questions

Nice
