just had my rex checked out at jimmys..(great help andy is) and......... \'my cooling system is being pressurised indicating water 0-ring leaks inside the engine\'. inlet manifold gasket is leaking, and air pump not working....on the compression test rear rotor was 5.5, 5.5, 5.0 bar and the front is 5.0, 5.0, 4.5 bar.. im crying rite now.... stuck on wot to do. warranty will pay £1000, but i need another 2k/2.5k....:confused:reallymad
unlucky mate... jesus, that\'s a lot to go wrong at once... feel for ya :(
Can I suggest a mint card.. 10 months interest free! (250 a month)
If ya can\'t pay it off over 10 keep transfering it between credit cards so you get more free months :)

:)

Dont joke about it Pogstar !
best not happen, they are recording it haha
nah i\'ll treat her gently :)
make sure you do andy, top speed challenges is where most blow ups seem to happen from what I read
How fast do you think it will go ? what mods you got ?
and get those some extra selotape on those skirts for the run :)
well only got 2 miles so can\'t have it for that long.
Gonna do an oil change & put new plugs in...just done the belts about 400 miles ago
mods are the clutch, hks induction nout else really...
Been 160 in her already (kms obviously) seemed to sit fine at that though I felt like someone had thier foot stood on the car downforce felt quite wierd... had a lot more to it...which is why I need airfield :)
I treat my car with upmost respect anyway so I\'m not gonna be readlining it badly or anything
and my skirt has been bonded on, so yours is more likely to fly off if it\'s stuck with crappy kit tape that dies after a few years, cheeky arab :)
well an induction kit is rumoured to add 100bhp so I think you\'ll crack 200mph easy :)
might come along and see ya run, what day is it ? where ?
kit tape ? moi ? nah bolted on weith big rusty screws mine is :)
Dave
I got some cwest decals too... I think that\'ll push it way over 250mph :D
you may as well run slagger if ya coming all that way.. only £30 for as many runs as you like and it\'s limited to somminc like 80 cars.. there\'s a 1/4 mile and 2 miles top speed (guess a bit like ten of the best)
On a Saturday 28th of March I think... RAF Woodbridge... posted a thread somewhere on the meets page..
ah its elvington, little bit too far for me
y\'know I don\'t like to drive my car very far
good luck mate
Dave
no you wally it\'s Woodbridge! don\'t you listen :)
Tis is suffolk, did a route planner for ya, it says it\'s 120 miles away
hmm might do then, if my cars not in for its transplant at that time :)
Woodbridge, think i might come along to that one, only bout 20-30 miles from me. Finally give me a chance to check out your sleek lights Andy:) think i will probably go for a set soon, im pretty sure they add 50bhp too...:D
should do! fully welcome to bud, think you need to pay a £5 spectator ticket thou...
you can also check out my apexi boost gauge install i did all on my own... I reckon thats added at least another 40bhp :D
was hoping to go up the strip if theres some places left :) u gonna bring your camcorder up Andy and catch some footage? might see if i can scrounge one from somewhere
yeah dude, i\'ll bring mine... it\'s being filmed for a proper dvd ya\'know :D
come come come, there are still places left but ya gotta hurry as they are limited :D
It wouldn\'t hurt to add a little pre-mix in the fuel for the speed runs. Extra lubrication on the apex seals isn\'t a bad thing at all.
1:100 ratio should be fine. 1 litre of 2 stroke oil (motorbike 2 stroke) per 100 litres of fuel. It does reduce the octane ever so slightly but it will help the apex seals.
i.e. 200mls for 20 litres.
I would make it 150 to 1 ratio.
I run 100 to 1 on race engines,but don\'t forget that it lowers your octane quite a bit, and with the OMP still putting oil in at a max of 150 to 1 the extra should be more than enough.
Something else to consider would be putting in some Cool Blue fuel,it is street legal and is 106 octane,also it can be mixed with pump fuel as an octane booster.
Kind regards
Carl
where can I get that stuff from? :D
best bet is dierect from 76 Racing Fuels http://www.76racing.co.uk/frameset.cfm comes in 25l pails (£80) or 10l pails (£40) :D
you can buy direct on line from //www.shyauto.com
seems a bit dear, check price? I bought race fuel for £3ltr, this is only octane booster.
no cool blue is 106 octane race fuel, but yes is a bit steep!
the stuff I bought was closer to 130 ron, but I did by 400ltrs, hence the better price.
where does one keep 400l of 130 Ron racing fuel ??? :eek: :bandit
