Arrrrrggghhhh, Christine! Behave yourself 

Wishing you luck in sorting out these gremlins.

Awful news Clive
At least you have a plan
Is there not anywhere you can bed the brakes in ?
Good luck

Going to ask Pip to operate the hand brake on the dyno so at least the rears will be bedded in a little as these normally take longer to get some bite.

p.s. Times like these, I do have to remind myself,  "I do this for fun" ! (I do know the end result will be worth it though)

I was wondering could you get a few  heat cycles up on his entry road
Good luck

I did wonder that Wayne  That won't actually bed them in though

Jon, no news today, going up again tomorrow to upgrade the pumps fuel pot and get the car ready for another session on Friday.

Christine's going on a date tomorrow at Brands 

Good day today, fitted one of our RX-8 Pump upgrade kits and we now have correct fuel pressure, which in turn let Pip map the car.

Whilst there is more to come with a mod to the pipework going to the wastegate, you will see Pip found 67.9 BHP over the last time it sat on the Dyno, and more importantly I have more low down power.

That's for another time when Jim plumbs in even more mods he has planned (thank you Jim)

First up HUGE Thanks to Steve for bringing the rear wing to Brands and bolting it on 

Also to Brad who you can see from the pictures was in attendance and helped out with lots of odds and sods.

Really really pleased with the car and had a hard 25 minute session with no real issues.

Going well, found it was now fast enough to play with an Group 4 DB9 race car and a McLaren British GT car!
(The video should explain) or maybe Brad can get my drag racing along Cooper Straight from his video phone uploaded 

Lots more low down grunt now with much more linnier power that's making it easier to drive, only down side was the rev limiter was set to low which restricted me
Hopefully the timing will come in later so I know the times from the day.

Still lots to do on the car before Silverstone, but we are now getting there
