DemonDriverDan's Rallye Race Car
So after a long and frustrating week I've finally had the car on track. Took it to the dyno company on Tuesday to get my power run done for the championship and what I thought would be a quick remap after changing to the standard manifold. Turned in to a full remap with the bill to prove it! Only lost 0.3hp at the wheels going from a Maniflow 4-2-1 to the standard manifold though. It also decided to throw oil on the floor from the rear main seal. Refitted that and it was still dropping oil which turned out to be the hockey stick seals, spot the problem:

With that fixed I finished off the wiring and got the fuel gauge to work with the digital dash which took a bit of messing around with resistors. Finally I fitted the rear spoiler and put it all back together again.

Yesterday we went off to Brands for the first run. There were some pretty frustrating issues with brakes jamming on but we eventually sorted those and could put some laps in. It's fast, very fast. Between me and my brother we only had 2 clear laps and beat our fastest ever lap round there with a 55.7. The aero is definitely limiting us in a straight line but really works through the corners, the grip it has is incredible.

Ended the day with my brother going a little wide through Surtees and cutting the grass (literally!), also managed to knock the fan off:

Day ended well. Engine survived although it's weeping a little bit of oil from the other side now, nothing to worry about. Hopefully doing a test day at Snetterton next week where I can test with and without the aero package to see how much of a difference it's making to speed.
