Hi folks!
2020 testing did not go well ?
The first test day this year got rained off.
The second test day got postponed because I was at the hospital with the family to say hello to my second Grand Child. A healthy 8lb 6oz boy who is named Albie. He is a lovely content little boy who was born on March 1st. AND, just as with Faith when she was born, Albie and his parents live with us.
We got out for a test day just before our UK full lockdown. It was a good day for gathering data, but the car was slow and I fried the transmission. The fried tranny was my fault for connecting the remote filter and cooler lines the wrong way round as I was using the tranny brake to its full potential. I can get the transmission rebuilt when I am off Furlough leave IF I have a job to go back to after lockdown. The rebuild will be in the region of £1200 I think.
We played with tyre pressures, ign maps and launch rpm's. I had a strange vibration on each launch. We could not even get into the 9's and the 60 foot times were slow at 1.6 seconds?
I will attach some real time vids and some Slo Mo vids. The Slow Motion videos tell the whole story, and I now know what I need to do next before we take her back on track.
Stay safe you guys
Regards
Pel
