Well I thought I would actually post some proper Trak Talk I this section..
After a disastrous end to 2004
Resulted in us getting the car back from the panel beater only 2 weeks before the start of Round 1, the 2GO rally which was scheduled to run on the 19th of march.
The car in Primer and the engine in bits all over the garage, i was forced to take a week of work and put in some hard yards to get the car back together and painted.
The Engine went back in on the Friday and fired first go on Saturday after all the wiring was put back in, we are on track so far.
The next 4 days were spent preping the body and spray painting, this was the first time I have spray painted anything so it was a steep learning curve and took a lot longer then I would have liked, but in the end it worked out well and saved me money.
the next couple of days were spent putting new suspension and steering parts back in the were damaged in the roll.
On driving the car to to get a wheel alignment done, it was apparent not all was right in the engine department with the engine missing and going really rich and loosing all torque at between 4-5000 RPM but, making it all but undrivable in a rally.
I get the wheel alignment done, and arrange for Stewart Wilkins Motorsport to see if they can diagnose the problem on the Thursday before the rally.
After a long Thursday afternoon we still cant diagnose the problem, and Friday the car goes on the dyno for some fuel and ignition map adjustment and in now running a lot better, a different heat range spark plug also helped. Why it changed is a bit of a mystery ???
After its finished and the car is working i am told by the rally organizers the rally has been cancelled due to excess rain in the area and forestry pulled the pin.
After all those long days and hard work to rebuild it, i decide to sleep for the next week. But it paid off as I didn't have to touch the car for the next 3 weeks.
A quick trip To Oran Park last Saturday to give the car a good shakedown and get used to driving fast again all went smoothly.
Now to this weekend
round 1 of clubman north series will see us at the PCYC Charity Rally at Wauchope, around the Port Macquarie area.
So if anyone's in the area drop in check out the rally action,
A results report of how went will follow on Monday.
Ben.
