RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - FAO Lobb/Ruan - timing vid pg. 9 - Rippthrough - 03-06-2013
Not wanting to piss on the bonfire for the thread, but I'm assuming you know £999 challenge has been cancelled this year?
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - FAO Lobb/Ruan - timing vid pg. 9 - ginge191 - 04-06-2013
I didn't??
I went to PPC in the park and gathered some more information from the organisers then.
When was it cancelled??
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - ginge191 - 04-06-2013
Well after the battery killed itself and the starter motor went, i'm awaiting the post for a new starter motor. Hopefully this will solve the none starter.
I was looking over the car with pompeymark the other day, and discussion went along the lines of how unlucky this has been.
So, i thought i'd make a list of what has actually gone wrong/not right, albeit my fault/unlucky, a problem is a problem.
Starting with engine removal:
Seized driveshaft O/S
Broken driveshaft N/S
incorrect water pump for new block
neuisance flywheel
useless fuel pump
cambelt timing 4 times
injector issues
broken intercooler
dead battery numerous times
starter motor bust
alternator needed modifying
hit a deer - front end replace
bumper mounts corroded
oil filter split
new radiator split
popped water hose
sparking starter motor
leaky gearbox
and i think that's about it... so yeh, not the luckiest of changes, but it's getting there; from the list, the only issue lay with the electrics. Starter on the way, fingers crossed, once more..a
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - strictly_perv - 04-06-2013
Don't forget the seized beam
seized brake lines
broken nipples
whiney speedo
broken driving lights
dodgy brake lights
f*cked hubs
busted rear bearing
shall I go on?
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - Rippthrough - 04-06-2013
They've had some issues with the website being compromised but I only heard about it the other day. Apparently only one person had actually entered, and Kate rang him to say it'd been cancelled.

Hmm I see.
They kept reminding me telling me there were only few spaces left.
I hadn't bought my ticket due to extensive issue. Once the car was running, hopefully this weeks, I was gona get the ticket. What a shame
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - Rippthrough - 05-06-2013
Give them a ring, afaik it was only last week it was confirmed, maybe if they get a few people ringing for tickets they'll put it back on?
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - ginge191 - 05-06-2013
perhaps;
http://www.ppcmag.co.uk/ site works, but no links, search bar, contact tabs are all down... and have been for a few days now
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - ginge191 - 16-06-2013
Car runs; after Niall diagnosing for a few hours, it's running.
As PPC is cancelled, the next deadline is the dyno day; just need some fluids topped up, a good run, watch it closely, a damn good clean then look at the small upgrades; brakes, ARB then look at turbo fitting
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - 4WayDiablo - 16-06-2013
What brakes does it run now? 266's any use to you?
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - Matt - 16-06-2013
So what was wrong with it?
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - ginge191 - 16-06-2013
I've got a set of upgraded to fit on

It was the starter motor, changed that, still dead, changed the battery, still dead, checked all the wiring, still dead, got another battery, and another starter, works. Sooooo I don't know.

We've just been for an amazing cruise with Vaughan and Amie to Portsdown hill. Raced a GTR.
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - ginge191 - 16-06-2013

Appreciate all the help today lads xx
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - Scott - 16-06-2013
No problem bbz <3 That was my exercise for the weekend trying to bump start it so many times!
RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - Niall - 16-06-2013
Yeah trying to hop into that car whilst running was interesting

I genuinely thought you were going to get sucked under
but persistence proved!

I have to say the engine sounds really decent. It pulls like a train too!
So glad it's finally up and running

...also, that pump, tuned perfectly! Not going to need to touch it at all; Hazey - clean on boost! Thanks
PPC Challenge car - 205 - - strictly_perv - 16-06-2013
No way. Needs more fuel.

RE: PPC Challenge car - 205 - - Pompey306mark - 16-06-2013

I dont think so... it would light up the dash instruments and activate the starter to an extent..

All it was doing is activating the solenoid. That motor is pretty fooked.

Just going to finish the last little niggles around the car; fans, grill etc.
Then get working on the suspension; horeendous knocking from the N/S; my best is wishbone.
Also, need to give it a good ol clean!
