I'll try and come to this. It's been way over a year since I've been.

Afternoon chaps. It's been a while since I've posted. Ive got a slight issue with my car. I've changed all the injectors and the injector wiring loom and it's still misfiring. Luckily it happened 10 miles from home so hopefully no damage has been done. Since it's been misfiring it's got an oil leak. Would this be causing excess pressure and forcing the oil out of a seal? I'm yet to get under the car to see where it's coming from.

I've literally searched everywhere for the answer. Does anyone one know what size they are? Are they 69mm or 72.5mm?

BTCC Car... Rubs hands together. Haha.

I'm off work al week by the way. Avaliable any time.

When would I be able to come and have a look? I'm only in Enfield.

Someone actually done research and a write up correctly, I'm shocked!

Thruxton review, All started well Friday morning. An early start to get to the track, van fully loaded with parts, tools and fuel. Myself and Richard headed out on track in the Skoda Octavia vRS course car for a few laps with an instructor. That is when you realise just how fast Thruxton really is. I was told the average speed is 90MPH. Friday was the test day for the CSCC. Started slowly, before going all out. Had some fun with an E-Type and a Elan. Just under an hour on track and everything is good. Successful days testing and familiarising myself with the track. Race day. Excited! But short lived.Out for qualifying, Major misfire from leaving the pits, fine up to 6,000RPM or full throttle. I get 4 slow laps in to get my place on the grid (3 laps have to be completed to get placed). I come into the pits where the guys come running over as they heard the car wasn't right, push on the HT leads and its good to go. Back out and its all good! 8,000RPM of screaming Ford awesomeness. Well for a few laps anyway. Managed to get from P21 to P12 within 3 Laps with a still misfiring car albeit intermittent. After qualifying we inspect the car, spark plugs out to clean and inspect. Going to refit them and no3 is just spinning. The thread in the head has stripped and that was why the HT lead popped up in qualifying. Well I say HT lead, I mean the whole spark plug. We spoke about what could be done and maybe trying to helicoil the plug hole, but I really didn't want to risk anything from the process going into the cylinders and causing even more damage. So thats it, game over. Hopefully get the head off the car soon and send it off to be done and do anything else to that car thats needed. It sucks massively, but thats motorsport. Got a pint for me and the guys helping and watched some racing.

He announced it on Facebook, popped along to his workshop last weekend. Brilliant setup he's got there.

Clive now owns Beach Buggy Turbos.

Mine was working up until recent, it comes on with the headlights. Not sure if the ignition needs to be on or not.

As its only going to be us on the list going, it's not going to be as busy as a normal track day.

It's been a while since I've seen this thread. You've really cracked in with this. Some serious engineering there! I'll make sure I'm at a track day when this is about.

Blimey, someone get the Kleenex or the violins out...

This one is a bit special to me. 20 years of being best mates with Skippy, growing up playing playstation and talking about "racing when we're older" and here we are. Our first race together. Just thought I'd share that naff bit of information. [emoji6]
