Re: Jerry can recommendations

We've got about half a dozen here of various vintages all the way up to a recent one from screwfix. They all store and pour fuel. Just get whatever's the most convenient.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Did a Walshy fun day at North Weald yesterday with some folks off SELOC. Can't have much more fun for £100! 12 cars, so you don't get a ton of time on the various circuits or much tuition (although Walshy did jump in with me once, and I have been before so that's ok), but still a load of fun. What ...

Re: Collecting cars

It'd never occurred to me that the quality wasn't that great, I was just enjoying listening to another free bit of entertainment.

You lot know how to suck the fun out of everything :D

Re: Decent car YouTubes

c£100k though? Seems a bit pricey to me for what you get...and I'm a big, big fan of the K-Series but I just think you could get a Dan-spec car as good for less than half that. (Although fair enough, he mentioned they stuck with the K to get into the US). Not any more you can't, I'm finished workin...

Paging @dan
Got more than that for mine but it had less miles and was an 09 car, seems like a good price to me though.

A rev counter seems a bit uncouth for a vehicle of this calibre.

Re: FECPOTY 2023

Good point. Building to your own spec is more EVO than buying something off the shelf. I win then, surely :D Not on the road yet! :P :lol: Although you did buy another S1 in 2023 that could be a contender for the main prize. ;) No I meant I win because I built yours :lol: Plus mine is running now a...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Remind me again, how much is this thing gonna weight wet? IIRC 600-700kg? Or was it less than that? I suspect the power to weight and bhp/litre numbers at the end of the day are going to be intimidating :lol: It currently weighs almost exactly 500 kilos. Its missing bodywork, front calipers, a pass...

Re: Your fleet running reports

9500 is probably a sensible limit, I might do a few runs a little higher just to see where the power tails off, but with the revs only dropping around 1000rpm between gearchanges that'll keep me right in the sweet spot - its not making less than 320hp from 8500 onwards which makes the average power ...

I assume you're pretty pleased with that at this point in the process? 8-)
Delighted yes, it has already exceeded my expectations in a number of ways.

What revs was the pull from? Trying to tune my ears to it.
Run starts at about 4500rpm….it really starts to pull at 5500
