The Racetractor. The End.

[zx_volcane]

That original figure was way off tbh after pouring over it a lobbland and listening to/comparing runs.

There will be a video.

The rough currently is if I have a knackered turbo or not...let me deal with the emotional loss first

You said there would be an update / video from lobbland

[dr_jekyll]

Why have i only just found your project thread [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] some ace work here

[Matt-Rallye]

Because piglets high horse is a very nimble one when with the slightest change in direction of the breeze

[Niall]

It is a pointless figure if the car was f*cked.

I'd be impressed if we were talking 500+. As it is I don't see why you are so worried about it Niall.

Or anyone else!

Im not worried. I know the figure it made and tbh its still a respectable figure. Im just highlighting the point that Piggy made such a big deal of his big figure and actually wound people up over it on purpose and now its the other way round, he's keeping very quiet. I find it comical tbh!

[fatlapit]

Still the wrong fuel but its a credit to ya piggy. Look forward to seeing u on track in june bud

[bashbarnard]

Tell us the figures, don't tell us the figures. I just don't care. This car flys. End of. He had a problem as we all do with our modded cars at some point. I fryed the fricken head on mine for god sake. If piggy wants to keep it quiet that's fine but I'm sure he has said that "there is a video on the way" wait man. Watch his video (and the ads) that way he can keep doing what his doing and you can A. Enjoy the thread and videos or B. Take the mickey a little more later come on peeps cheer up

[procta]

piggy are you still going to do more with the car next year or is this it now?

[Matt-Rallye]

Still surprised at these chaps that know the figures....

When no one has told them!?!

Dude you told me at the Christmas meet standing by my truck. I'm sure there were others about then too.

I gave you guys the same figure I have given on here.
But the chaps i am referring to werent there!

It's tentative.

I don't think I can afford to keep this and fund my two new projects and the mods going onto the 206 aswell.

We'll see.

2 new projects? what have i missed?

[Piggy]

   

[procta]

that needs a V8 dropped in!

[Piggy]

that needs a V8 dropped in!

which one?

[Piggy]

Yay...
I now have no oil pressure.
Best to not brake or corner hard...or it goes completely

[Niall]

Confirmed no oil pressure or just your gauge is saying none? because when my engine fully warms up my gauge drops to below 0 psi. Im pretty confident its not right otherwise i would of had a seized engine some 5k ago lol

Nahh genuinely.

Pressure gauge and oil/stop light.

Oh and no oil in the sump

[Stef205]

burning it, oil leak?

[Piggy]

Duno yet..been too bloody wet to tell...
Shoved it in a barn on some cardboard...I'll know later.

I hope for a simple leak

[Piggy]

So...
It took 2.2 litres to top up.
There was no residue under the car or rear of car.
Nothing obvious other than a random leak from under intake manifold. Vac seal, rocker seal, cam seal all fine.

I'm a bit stumped.
What with arduino not working right, a.knackered blower on the bench, a battery which split and leaked acid over the boot paintwork and it now losing oil without anything obvious wrong.


Not feeling great :-(

[dr_jekyll]

Rings....

[Niall]

Rings....

If it was rings or valve stems i think he would notice loosing over 2 litres of oil. My old 1.8 at the end of its days was using about 1 litre per 200 miles and you couldn't not notice the blatent smell of oil and chronic blue cloud at the back haha

Just odd considering its mainly a track slag now. Oil dosnt just get up and walk off [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Its not mainly a track slag. He uses it daily. The oil thing is odd though but as niall says its unlikely to be internal as you WOULD notice that amount of smoke and the smell. Plus piggy isn't the sort of bloke to not check his oil for two months if it was a small leak.

[Niall]

You're right it doesn't but honestly unless its any more than a slight leak into the cylinders, it really shows up!
Have you checked down the back of the engine piggy? Mine leaks from the brake vac pump, runs along the line of the head gasket and drips down but by the time it gets on anything really, it all ends up on the underside of the car. At least the underside wont rot soon

[dr_jekyll]

Thought it was only track abused now.
Haha free underseal [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] like the time i put my sump through, just brush it about abit

[Piggy]

Its done like two track sessions!

I use it almost daily.

Vac pump is fine.

Tbh I have not actually checked the oil for a couple of weeks...just jump in n drive it generally lol

[Dum-Dum]

How long since you last checked the oil?

How big is your catch tank, is it all hiding in there?

[Piggy]

Couple weeks maybe...cant remember. I dont tend to keep a record

Catch tank had about 100ml in it. Thats 6mth worth

[zx_volcane]

you should know if you're burning it through rings

although, leak from inlet under inlet manifold could suggest it might be blowing past rings into inlet then dribbling out a bit

looks like one to top up and monitor

[Piggy]

Yeah I be surprised if its rings

My suspicion would be the turbo... Thats the only thing I have recently changed and she has NEVER used oil before

[zx_volcane]

Oh, assumed you'd have whipped of the boost pipe to check. Still if you're burning it in that sorta quantity, should be fairly obvious

[Iaitoo]

Maybe someone tried to be an asshole to you, and opened the sump plug, drained half the oil. Then cleaned it all up.
Bit weird that there is no trace after 2 litres of oil disapearing in two weeks. :S
