Ah, maybe he has a special sterring wheel to bolt on that eliminates the need of the archaic stick

Is that the same scooby that blitzed the record at Epynt?

Prelimarly findings ref the fuel pump show that at best it will only support fuel supply in the old fuel system design around 500+Bhp, but with the new revised system it should achieve above 600Bhp, but I still beleave we are still 4 ltrs per min short, to produce the figures that can be achived by this engine/turbo setup, the search for a F1 pump so far has proved fruitless, but we will keep looking, on a more positive note, the fuel return has improved, just means we have to reduce boost levels (circa 1.2 bar) till such time when a capable fuel pump can be sourced to feed the beasts hunger, so the Top 12 is still out of our reach for the time being,

I think it was Rob Harriman's RA that did Epynt a few years ago.

Most capable car / driver combo.

He now plays good golf!

Hi Graham,

I bought the shell off Rob when he split the car, but due to work/project commitments its had to take a place a the back of the workshop, but now its alive again, so over the winter months it will see the light of day again.

A w/e of highs and lows for us at shelsley, Saturday was a low, although we saw a slight improvement in the fuel flow, but the overal problem was still there,

I was marshalling at Top S and it sounded and looked great until John was accelerating up the finish straight. Then the old problem returned.

Certainly looks like you're moving in the right direction.

Sunday, a decision was taken to disregard the law of phyisics with regards to how the 4 stage pump works, we decided to repipe to convert it to a pair of pumps running in parreral into a single feed pipe, thus using same pressure but increasing the flow rate, again a increase in flow rate was there to be seen, feed back from john (driver) the car feels quicker (even though the sector times dont show it) so a few more days in the workshop and 1 more event to go, I still beleave in the concept, but not in its presant form, a number of key issues have to be sorted before next season.

John

Does any body have any video footage of the car from last w/e`s meet at shelsley please, that i can take a look at.
