Jim spent yet another day driving all the way down from Wakefield and then a whole day turning Christine into something more like KITT ! :sign0098:


With the power I now have available to punish the gear box and diff, heat could become an issue, so Jim has installed sensors in the units to monitor oil temperatures  though the ECU.

"However" Jim being Jim, he has now incorporated a screen which will show on camera not only these temperatures, but also revs, plus  oil pressure and engine temperatures and the facility is there to even for Jim to monitor telemetry from the pits remotely !!.

This means the car does everything like KITT in the TV show bar talk to me !!!!

Full test day booked at Brands on the 31st of January where I am hoping to find the difference using bigger diameter Pirellis to raise the gearing making use of the extra torque Christine now has available.

Stumbled across this.
Wow I didn't realise it was 12 years ago that I stupidly decided to build the present race car :violent1: .

Started out that it was "just" going to be a basically stock RX-8 with an FD engine, with very few mods so if I crashed it I could quickly put it all into another shell, then slowly it turned into a a proper race car :( .

Just as well it only cost a couple of bob along the way  :))  :))  :))

All ready for the test day at  Brands on Wednesday. I know some of you wanted to come along and asked for times on track . It's an open Pit Lane with no single seaters, so we can go in and out from 9am till dusk. You can find us in one of the pit garages. I also have one of my Sponsors, the Japanese company TEIN UK Limited coming along with a film company to make a Promo Video about the products I use on the RX8
