RACE ENGINE NOW IN PLACE AND READY FOR RUNNING IN

Although we missed the first round at Snetterton this weekend, it's great to have the new engine and box fitted yesterday and ready to run in at Bruntingthorpe this Sunday. After three months in the planning, it all came together very quickly thanks to Darren & Ben from SPOOX MOTORSPORT. The engine ran first time and now needs a few adjustments to the mapping to take advantage of the revised camshaft and blueprinting. Hopefully pictures will follow and the real test will be at Mallory Park in a weeks time when Mike compares his 56.9 lap set with the standard MK2 lump and VTR box, compared to our new unit. (current lap record 56.8 set in 2003 and not matched in 6 years!). In a way missing the race meeting probably saved us from a few bent panels by the look of things. Just flick through the photos we took to see some of those who survived and consider that at least five cars didn't make the start on Sunday never mind finish.
