Jimmy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Raced at nir today in a new car, i went off the back as i hadnt done any laps in it prior to the heat! was going to do some practice but ran into some problems while changing diff lol lol pulled off in the heat as was running on 3 because plug lead had come off. Finished consi and gn and got used to car a bit but it was pushing on but we will have a play about and hopefully it wont for long lol Next meeting I hope to be at is brum on 17th october, would of been at brum this coming sat but have to work on my dads f1 as have head gaskets to replace lol only pic i found from catwoman on ftooz so thanks lol quick update to say plans have changed and i am racing at birmingham this sat. Also just a lil bit of info on the new car, its an 05 randall i think, maybe 04, and has an 11 meeting old east lincs engine in it, also a shortened(i think lol) tran-x box, so i run a 3.5 diff at most the tracks ill be doing lol Hoping to get out atleast twice more this year, would like to get in 3 meetings before the end of the season though.

Kruiz 136 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Probably last one from me this year after a heavy smash in the consolation taking out front and rear suspension steering rack and its mountings, putting the radiator through the fan and pushing the engine back on its mountings, aswell as the undercarriage being bent through the sump! A bit gutted is an understatement!! The camera packed up during the meeting making some of the data corrupt so this is all I have, a few laps of the heat where I was out front looking good for points place but caution came out and I soon drifted back, probably let them passed a little easy on reflection as the car was going quiet well. Consolation, well its all in the video.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstox Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 hi kyle, are you able to make all the damage ? and is the engine still working ? looked like a nasty crash greetz , francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruiz 136 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi francois, yes engine still runs just has a bent, and punctured sump, and mounts, so replace the sump and make new mounts. Bent radiator and mounts so going to get another radiator and make new mountings. Bent steering rack, column, and mounts, so new rack, column and make new mounts. Most of the front suspension arms are bent or snapped, aswell as broken halfshaft, caliper and bent panhard rod so all that needs replacing but thats all commonly broken stuff, still expensive though. But we're going to strip it down first and roll it over, buy new metal for the undercarriage and remake it as its a mess under there where it hit the kurb. So yes, it will all fix, but not quickly or cheaply lol Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon31 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) I raced on sunday with the new car, it was a wet meeting, and i came into a bit of trouble with this as my wet tyres i used on the rear of my old car wouldnt fit on the randall and i left my front ones on my old car! so had to race the wet with bold tyres! so the car wasnt handling as well as it should. W+Y Final = 3rd Heat = 10th Final = DNF GN = DNF W+Y final went well was leading it for a bit but i couldnt keep it tight enough on the bends as had a push (due to tyres), so happy with 3rd, and managed to win 2 yoko tyres! Heat, 10th, just kept out of trouble and just got some laps in to get the feel for the new car Final, was doing ok was in the top 5, but a car spun on the top bend and a push from 676 Neil Hooper put me in to the fence which bent a compression strut and put the bumper back to the wheel! GN, the throttle got stuck open a bit so decided to pull in after a few laps! All in all i was really happy with the car, if i had better tyres on maybe i would of done alot better! anyway down to St Day on sunday for thir W+Y Final! Hopefully Ali P will post some pics. Unlucky Kruiz, instead of fixing it why not come to cornwall and buy my HCD! Simon Edited October 15, 2009 by Si_231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Update after brum 17th,... its broke lol. in the heat i went into the bend hit a white and spun lol leaving me facing wrong way near the fence with 3 wheels on my wagon, (not sure why 1 came off lol) then a few laps later after a few close calls someone puts a blue roof into me then just as the yellows came out a yellow top piled in aswell. engine and box have moved forward about an inch, engine mounts have twisted and bent forward, cracked the bellhousing, fan gone through the rad, it also bent the torsion bar, smashed the brake disc, broke the halfshaft, broke the caliper and carrier, and bent the steering wheel a bit too lol Not got any pics yet will try get some at somepoint.

Jimmy Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) lil update from meee, bellhousin isnt cracked, was just the mount on top of it that has, thats now off and ready to be welded up. Halfshaft has been replaced, aswell as brake disc and torsion bar, just need a new caliper. sent rad off for repair, now just need a new fan, and also move the engine mounts back/or replace them so that engine/box moves back. Replaced front bumper and back needs a bit of weld here n there. hoping to do brum on 7th, and maybe hendo on 8th, not sure yet, anyone been round hendo in an f2? lol Edited October 27, 2009 by Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
