Re: My RS1800 Track car, Race battery and launch control fitted
Thanks for all your comments and pictures guys
I'm back and in one piece
Couple of spins @ Combe due to semi slicks and really wet conditions (check out the short video in Mixon's Combe pictures)
Was still hitting over 90mph which isn't bad in the wet, the only dry session saw me hitting over 115mph, not bad for a standard motor.
Excellant weekend, though a little damp @ Combe
Car performed great only issue is I need to make some sort of catch pot up for my breather that on the only dry session @ Combe decided to spit oil out everywhere
Didn't run up the strip at the Pod, next time I go I will though.
Good to see j7aoc,frsjon, Max, Tiller, And Gav Stylianousisinusiniususus @ the Pod
ended up with a boot full of his tools/spares
Good to see Luke, and one of the first times I havn't handed him a wad of cash over
Sorry I missed you Dave, I'll see you @ FITP fella
Gary, wondered what happened to you, I don't have your no. so couldn't call you or anything
One of my few pictures
Update tomorrow on my latest little purchase for the car

Re: My RS1800 Track car, Race battery and launch control fitted
Your car looked great in my rear view at Combe If only I'd seen you there because I'd just overtaken you. Sadly, as we both know, it was because I was recovering from the infield...and then again as you recovered from the infield, and so on Great first outing for it, we'll have to go out together in the dry! I did manage to time you for two laps but they were both over 2:00 in the drenched 2:15pm session. We'll have to get tweaking and get back out there before too long - two different approaches doing fairly similar things I reckon!

Re: My RS1800 Track car, Race battery and launch control fitted
Well today was going to be the day I picked up my latest mod for the car
but the bloke I was supposed to be meeting couldn't make it so he's going to post the bits on to me, doh
This is the description from the ad.
"hi there, this is a complete fuelling setup to suit the ford zetec engine.... included in this auction is throttle bodies and megasquirt v3.3 fully mappable ecu with laptop connection, complete with all linkages, throttle position sensor (tps) and ford edis unit.
THESE ARE BRAND NEW SUZUKI GSXR THROTTLE BODIES PROFESSIONALLY MATCHED AND SPACED TO SUIT A ZETEC SILVER-TOP ENGINE, THEY ARE ARE 42MM AND COME WITH THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)+ ALL LINKAGES. A COMPLETE MEGASQUIRT V3.3 3D FULLY MAPPABLE MANAGEMENT. AS THE ECU IS SET-UP TO RUN WITH THE FORD EDIS UNIT, I CAN INCLUDE THE EDIS AT NO EXTRA COST. MEGASQUIRT COMES COMPLETE WITH CABLE FOR LAPTOP CONNECTION. ALL BRAND NEW AND UNUSED.... CURRENTLY SITTING IN MY UNFINISHED WESTFIELD, THIS IS A COMPLETE FUELLING SYSTEM SOLUTION FOR MANY FORD ENGINED KIT CARS OR ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY STANDARD EFI OR CARB'D ZETECS... GENUINE"
, but you will all have to wait a bit longer for pictures ,
they will now be with me next week, damn it
Also today, after my comment about Luke yesterday things are back to normal,
when I see him again more cash will be handed over for his full set of polycarb windows , I have all but fronts in atm but wanted his fronts with sliders in, so I bought them all, I will put my ones in the for sale section soon if anybody is interested in the rear side a rear screen ones.
James, if you want to book another track day @ Combe I'm there in July for the Bristol & Swindon RSOC regional day, which is an excellant show. track action is better also as you come off track and just queue up again to go back on,
I'm already booked on as is I think Luke is, anybody interested can book online using paypal here;
http://www.rscombe.com/online_booking.htm
just over £100 but, I did 11 sessions a couple of years ago so well worth it

love the look of this car, top work mate, got some good plans for it to, with the 2litre and the throttle bodies should make it a very good track weapon.

You did go past me, but after 2 spins and on semi slick tyres I didn't push it afterwards,
when the track dryed out on the 10.45 session I was in my element
If I see a car coming up behind me I'm happy to pull over and let them past
Luke, good lad, get it booked mate

Re: My RS1800 Track car, throttle bodies + megasquirt V3.3
Small update
Things are back to normal with Luke and myself,
we meet, I hand over a large bundle of cash
Tonight was my full set of Polycarb windows
I was halfway through making my own with just the fronts to make/fit,
but seeing as Luke is getting some tinted ones made I made an offer on his old ones.
So, I've already sold mine, and these will hopefully be fitted at the weekend
My throttle bodies are somewhere between South Wales and my place
They should be here by the weekend, pictures as soon as they arrive

There probably miles from you mate, there in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire.
They have been sent so its just a matter of waiting now.
No worries on the lights mate, I have 4 other spare sets
Let me have them at one of the bigger shows.
