Almost ready. Engine was running fine on Saterday evening. But we have to replace the clutch pump. Someone accidently pressed the cluthc pedal while the clutch pump was not in the gearbox, and it broke in pieces...

The 'new' engine sounds better than the other one. I'm pretty sure it'll run better too. In a few weeks, I'll do a dyno run with the new engine.

In the meantime, I did one trackday with the 'new' engine. Everything went OK, plenty of power, only no power in one corner, every time again.
A few days later we were investigating the problem in the shop, and all of a sudden the oil light went on. It went out after pushing the accelerator, and going to 1500 rpm. At idle speed, the light came back on.
--> Oil pump was dying.

Oil pump is replaced, and we're up and running again. Car seems to run a lot smoother at low revs now.

Next trackday might be Tuesday July 29th at Spa.

There is an English version, but for the subscription itself, they failed to translate it. Don't you have to speak French every now and then where you live?

By the way, I only subscribed and payed yesterday evening, I think it's not too late to subscribe now.

Track is open the entire day, with an open pitlane, so plenty of driving!!!

If I get my car back in shape. I replacing some of the parts, mainly putting a boost controler and heat protecting the intake hoses. The thing holding me up is delay in parts I ordered...

I hope I will make it.. SPA is my favorite track.
