We’ve been working hard. Not very hard at updating the website (though I still tweet occasionally) I admit, but in the workshop we’ve been busy.

  • The floor has come off, been cleaned properly, slightly modified with a belt sander and refitted. The bulge seems to be better now.
  • The camera was tested, sent off and testing by DogCamSport, and is now back with us and working. All fitted and ready to go.
  • The silencer was inspected, and the new packing is holding up well. Hopefully no noise problems at Snetterton!
  • We have had a chat with Specialist Components (the ECU people) with datalogging and video evidence of the misfire, and we think it’s more likely a mapping issue – the fuelling going rich or lean at various points. So we’ve fitted a lambda sensor, and will be able to log the throttle, RPM and fuelling to see what happens. Hopefully this will help reduce any misfires. We’ll also make sure the battery is fully charged just in case battery voltage is the cause.

Nearly ready. Some photos…

First up, the car as a whole – looks nice with everything bolted on again.

The final product - looks pretty much the same as last year!!

Another few days of work have produced some large steps towards completion of the car prior to testing on the 12th March at Snetterton.  The car is now fitted with the correct gears, the brakes and clutch are bled and checked, the steering rack has been checked over and refilled and, with the wheels and tyres fitted, we were able to drop the car onto the floor for the first time in a few months.  Racing cars look  a lot better sitting on the floor than 3 feet in the air on the rebuild trolley…

We’re playing with a new website to keep you informed of everything more easily and quickly than ever before, by migrating from Joomla to WordPress. How long this takes, and how easy it is remains to be seen…

The rebuild is going well. The car is running smoothly, and we’re nearly ready to put it back on its wheels and sort the setup out… Who knows how long that will take either…

Earlier today we had the Dallara running for the first time since the fuel injection project was undertaken. Obviously, we think this is quite an exciting milestone, and now I’m really looking forward to seeing how it performs on track.  It took a bit of doing – the datalogger seems to have developed a fault in a wire somewhere, and the ECU initially didn’t want to make it do anything other than cough. But a fiddle with the laptop solved that, and it burst into life this morning.

Our 2009 season was hardly disappointing, all things considered, least of all in the engine department where we seemed to be as strong as anyone else. For the 2010 season we aimed to improve aspects of the engine following an analysis of the dry sumping and oil pump arrangment. Two revisions were played with early in 2009, and the lessons learnt encouraged us to develop a new revision that will debut in the Dallara at a test day during March 2010. We have made noticeable gains in oil pressure and power output, all of which will help in our challenge for the 2010 Mono2000 championship. The engine has been run in on the Dyno this week (albeit on carburettors for simplicities sake), and is now ready to race!
