Wreck to Race.

[Peter Jones]

I've got a whole other car for that!

[Peter Jones]

OK, I don't think there's anything else to fix now.

I replaced the hall sensor in the dizzy which I think was the culprit of my recent racing woes.

Upon trying to restart and tune the car afterwards I discovered the the filter just prior to the carbs was blocked.

It's a glass unit and didn't look blocked at all, but blowing though it proved it was almost completely blocked.

With the filter in place a 10 second bust on the fuel pump only put a couple of teaspoons of fuel into a handy coffee cup.

Without the filter 10 seconds had the cup full to the brim.

I've got a new tank filter on the way I'll replace that, the one prior to the pump and the one in the engine bay next weekend.

Seeing as I had all the bits to diagnose the ignition, I also replaced the coil, cap, leads, rotor and ignition module.

Having your best parts in a box on the side of the track doesn't make you go faster.

It'll be a while before the next outing, I need the time and money to finish the other car.

I think White's getting jealous of all the attention that the Kamei is getting

[velly_16v_cab]

not sure if you have seen this Pete, but mikes car got ALOT of attension over the weekend at the GTI International.

[Peter Jones]

Yeah Mike and I follow each others progress pretty closely and exchange emails regularly.

Makes me smile to think I supplied the indicators that are on Mike's car in that Photo.

Not sure what reaction my car will get here there's been nothing quite like it built here for a very long time.

Any chance of White coming out to play at the Group 5 event on the 11th of November?

I think you need a break from all that work on the Kamei

[Peter Jones]

Close, I'm going to take white out for it's final fling at Sandown on Cup Day 6/11/12.

[kaanage]

Who is running that track day?

[Peter Jones]

Ford Four Car Club.

Final fling? What's the plan for it?

[Peter Jones]

The new car will be up and running soon, so white will be de-tuned and re-registered to drive me to the train station 'cos I think that would be funny

[gecko2k]

Alright sounds like a plan. A MK1 as a daily, hope the train station is not to far away from your place

Hmmm. Maybe I'll do this rather than drive up to Winton's Tampered M/S track day

I love how the entry fee is hidden in tiny text in the supp regs and that the late entry deadline was in November 2010

[Peter Jones]

Yeah, that form is always a cut and paste effort.

My entry form to their events is also a cut and paste so it all works out.

The Cup Day sprint is always a pretty casual event.

Time to close this chapter, White went out for a final race run at Sandown on Cup day.

All previous issues were sorted and it was performing as strong as ever.

Weather on the day was a bit variable with only two really fast and dry sessions.

I ran an equal best time of 1:38 but wasn't going to go for broke and push any harder, I still plan to keep this car after all.

Thanks to everyone for watching, special thanks to those who came out to see White run at the various events over the last 4 years.

Massive thanks of course to Jodie, for her tolerance and support.

I'll keep you all updated on what happens next with White.
