Well where do i start 🤔
As I voiced my annoyance about the computer problem the car spent the week with the team at sirfab changing the computer and re wiring the car .
Simon and the team did a fantastic job and dyno day Friday came and thats where things went alittle frustrating.
Now theres no information on running an rx8 on a link computer and as far as we know were the first to wire and run a link running a renesiss in an rx8 stand alone ???
Im happy to be proven wrong lol
Simon put a huge amount of effort and time into the car and come 10 pm firday night he messaged to say ... im sorry we have a big problem and he wasn't sure where we go . The guy was shattered as he puts huge effort into every customer he has so you can never say he doesn't give 100%
I didn't get a lot of sleep as I felt id let Jordan down and didn't know how to fix it .
Up at 3am work till 12 so got a call Simon was having another Crack at getting the car going so popped in . The thing still wasn't great and compression tests done that showed 120 psi evey face so it wasn't a motor problem thank God.
Standing there watching one of the team noticed the vacuum solenoids were closing at revs ?? Simon as far as the link was telling him they were open ???
One quick run with the old hand opening the ssv valve and boom hello theres all our horses back .
We found a one way valve was not were it was spose to be so giving no vacuum to hold the diaphragm open and the problem the whole time. .
With Simon giving it a tune we raced home got everything then picked up the car at 330 .
Mad rush to get fuel and get to the track only to fail on wheel nuts .
Id done the other set but at home in the shed .
Raced back got them finally car and Jordan ready to race 545 pm racing starts at 6 .
First race Jordan just tried to find his feet rembering his last race he made a mistake and hurt his rist so only got harf a season so sure didn't want to do that again.
Unfortunately an alternator issue and settings being a bit low for safety cut the car down so dnf .
Race 2
Basically the same but the laps he got showed some promise but dnf again as car cut off .
Race 3
Jordan wasn't going to do this but being off the back had nothing to lose really and he actually started to find a grove and was all over a couple of cars but white flag car shut down again dnf .
So not our night but we got the car to the track.
We got some laps and supported our chch mates so they got to race .
And the laps we got Jordan can be very proud with himself because it was a hell of a battle all day and night and he definitely showed pace .
On a brighter note we got willows ministock sticked for her and a huge thank u too Chelsea Williams for the support.
Hopefully get our issues sorted this week and will try again in blenheim next Saturday for our home track opening meeting.
Unfortunately the rx8 looks a little 2nd hand but we will get that sorted soon as we can't do everything.
Again Simon Urquhart your a bloody legend thank u we cant thank you enough.
