badgerwagen-2008 rebuild commenced - Seat Ibiza Racecar - runs!

car feels significantly stiffer.. needs softening i think to absorb the bumps and not pogo off them.. make me feel safer me thinks
folly is very very quick and skittish flat in 5th

dialing in more power to find traction limit.. and rolling the boost in with rpm/throttle position so its progressively building power.

seems like it will enable me to dial in a level to match available traction, albeit on 3 year old ad07 tyres

 

Happy days Bill. Glad you back out in her.

Might be worth while getting Mark down again. Worth his weight in gold the fat *******.

 

could do yea.. especially now shell seems muchos stiff on ride after its proper cage

 

great read yet again , glad to hear its driveable again and yoiur getting to grips with it , well apart from the seat lol !

 

Bill qualified in P2 for this afternoon's Combe Saloons race

Race at 2:35

Results should be up soon after on the results page in the above pdf link.

 

Just got back in from another great days racing at Combe.
I'll let Mr. Brockbank tell you how it ended up, if he comes on here later.

 

"DNF" hope it was nothing bad?

 

Didn't look too bad from where I was sat. His car expired (in front of us, as it happens), after blue smoke for 7 or 8 laps. No fire as far as I could tell.

I didn't get round to the paddock to speak to him again, so I don't know the full story.
I can say it was going like a rocket in the qualifying session, and in the first part of the race (where he was convincingly leading his class).

 

Pics from the day, went down to support Bill Brockbank (Badger5) - Qualifying went well, 2nd fasted but turbo exhaust-turbine housing bolts loosened losing boost, the guys fixed that , but problem re-appeared in the race, Bill was 2nd pretty much the whole race but car expired in the last half lap. :blink: Bill narrowly missing a class win , which would have been a great result after a two year absence from Castle Combe saloons.

Has this Seat shrunk?

Good luck with the rebuild Bill

 

Sorry to bother...

I had a good look through the thread, but i couldnt actually see the spec of the engine on this? could yuou list the spec please?

 

broken

 

lol

Rebuilt/planned spec?

 

flywheel now lightened and balanced by Hotgolf (cheers Mart) so all the parts I need can now be taken for balancing as an engine set now... then reassembly can commence.

new flowed head is here, new valves again, block sat here in 83mm bore, new spec stage 3+ clutch assembly, arp studs, JE's etc etc

and a dyno to run it in on when I get to that point.

 

So much powaa and torks that the cat got pushed out to the back box by the boooooooost bruv!

 

lol, its like s snale which are an large animal.. and its being digested..

 

Does it glow, WRC stylee?

 

sadly not to my knowledge... I must try harder - hehe

 

Anti lag maybe?
