Okay, so a little update..
First here's some more pics from races and trackdays this fall.. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psee30ed60.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psec8b7b28.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psd265093f.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps21ce0691.jpg In the last stint of the year i managed to run a new personal best at Rudskogen racetrack. 1:32,3 is five seconds better then what i ran last year, so I'm pleased with the progress I've done this year. Here's a video of the lap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGMM8G9poSI As you might see/hear in the video there's a few things that needs to be done with the car. There's no servo and the diff is destroyed. That leads me into my plans for the winter. The engine is already pulled out of the car and sent to an expert for a built. Forged low compression pistons and rods are going in together with a bigger supercharger, fuel lines and fuel pumps. The target is in the 800hp range. Here's a picture from disabling. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9ed0e130.jpg The diff will probably be replaced with a OS giken multi clutch style diff, together with 4,10 gears. Also I'll be changing out the power steering to a electrical pump from a Mercedes A class. The worn OEM bushing will be replaced with solid ones at the rear of the car. Also going to install PeeBee camber arms. Dive planes will add some more downforce at the front. That's about it... For now.. |
Okay, time to update this thread again. Alot have happened so I'm going to use alot of pictures and videos instead of alot of text.
First: Instead of having my old engine built, I bought a built engine from England. Got a great deal on the engine together with a used supercharger kit. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2e21026c.jpg Got a new set of Apex wheels, spacers and studs Got some solid bushings and a 4.10 gear from Turner Motorsport http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psc014f08c.jpg Got some diveplanes, but they didn't fit very well so I have to make some modification to it. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psca924e7e.jpg Also got solid Rtabs from PeeBee Motorsport http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps428cdc8f.jpg Got some new Michelin slick http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1ff032f2.jpg Took out the rear of the car to have the bushing installed and the diff rebuilt: http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psd141eacb.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...pscef1b1d4.jpg Inspected the flywheel and HPF clutch while the engine and tranny was apart Still looks good http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps825c4c15.jpg Bought some driving gear for the wife. Happy wife inside a HANS helmet http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps448325d3.jpg Got some oil for the new OS Giken diff. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6242c51e.jpg Got the diff back after the rebuild http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps17b0dfee.jpg Installed the engine and got everything back together. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8a055ac8.jpg Started up the engine and took it for a small drive.... Turned out that it was a knocking sound in the engine I got from England. YouTube Took the oil filter apart and found pieces of metal inside it. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psc235107e.jpg Took the bottom part of the engine to inspect the rod bearings, rods and crank. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psa545f846.jpg Found two bearing that had gone around the crank http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psac1e0dc0.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5cf376fa.jpg So took out the new engine and put the old one back in again. Noticed a crack in the oil filter housing so I swapped it out with the one from the new engine http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps723f3a15.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...pse429add0.jpg Got everything back together once again http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...pse64d179d.jpg Took the car for a round in the Norwegian GT Championship and took two thirds and a fourth place in the three races. I was very happy! http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4a84c654.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psa7e7b760.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps99004bcd.jpg Here's a video from the first of those races Race 1 GT1-2 Rudskogen 07.06.2014 - YouTube Changed the springs to a softer setup as I was going to Nürburgring on a trackday http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps98334f8f.jpg Came down to Nürburgring a couple of days before the trackday so my wife and I had some time down there. Got to take a trackwalk on the Nordschleife one evening. It was beautiful! http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...pscd3a75b6.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psf7551915.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...psb4b71b6a.jpg On the trackday I did some decent driving, but the traffic was a bit to much to be able to set a really good time. Here's a clip 7:29 BTG Overtaking 50 cars in 2 laps at Nürburgring. ESS Supercharged M3 - YouTube Also got to breake the 300km/h barrier together with my wife. It was a rush going flat out through that corner and don't lift before the compressoin in the bottom of the hill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaS2OwGc9No Unfortunately we had some mechanical issues as well. A bushing to the diff came loose the first day http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...pse3e03406.jpg I was lucky and got in touch with a local raceteam that had a new bushing in stock so they changed it for me and I was ready for the next day. On the second day I did some runs but after a while a power steering hose burst and I was stranded on the side of the course. The rescue guys was unbelivable quick and checked if we we're okay within a minute. Big creds. Got the car loaded up on the rescue truck. Rescue Nürburgring - YouTube I checked around if anyone had a new hose but I wasn't that lucky this day. So I had a early evening. I'm back in Norway now and made a highlight video from the trip. Hope you like it. http://vimeo.com/100308023 http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/...ps006734dd.jpg Well this is were I am now. The next thing for me is a new race weekend in the Norwegian GT championship next month. Hope you enjoy following my journey. Regards Inge |
