Bravo! You’re on my calendar- hopefully This gives all of us time to have our cars in top top shape (and repair/break them a few times beforehand)

Any action shots? How do those ears behave on track?

And we’ll be left in Todd’s dust every time.

Scare me? Nope. ill still be waving as you blast past me with your sticky wheels and blue enema - I’m content the engine no longer stops at 5k.

150/138 -> 170/156 At the rear wheels

ADDENDUM: The haltech ignition module gave up the ghost and died last month. In hindsight I suspect this was gradually failing and the root cause for my troubles at the annual usa7s trackday. Facing a re-tune: upgraded camshafts were called for, and once installed the engine felt happier even before re-tuning. After a long chilly drive yesterday (with wet return home) the car is once again running smoothly and better than ever! Many thanks to Alex at Granite State Dyno in NH fitting me in before the snow this week :party: Cams increased hp & torque by 20 points each; unfortunately upgrading driver quality will take more work.

I also ordered my BigHead fasteners from EastCoast Findeglass Great product and service : just order a few spares to have on hand

for my head i have a 3mm rope to my Birkin ball cap. I like the sun glare reduction of the bill, and rope helps retrieval if the wind pulls it off.

Beautiful pictures & nice use for your NY plate Thanks Mike!

I can't remember what works best for a Caterham. But i long ago found the birkin engine/gearbox goes more smoothly lowering down onto a dolly. (I've lost track of how often it's happened)

Being a good Yankee i use cinder blocks & a pair of 4x4's. it lets me adjust the height and prevents lower back strain from bending over.

She runs again :auto: - We traced the problem back to a likely malfunctioning ignition module. The module I arranged to have overnighted to me arrived yesterday; without the module... Phone calls and canceled plans later the part they were supposed to send finally arrived and has fixed the problem. Hooray!

Looks sharp! Can he use the Storker for his driving test?

Update: still won’t start. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: - I’ve spent a little time this week on the phone & plugged in with tech support chasing down gremlins. I’m still waiting for a replacement part to arrive... With any luck it will arrive on time and get my engine running again.

2.0 duratec. ITB’s, Haltech sport ecu Had been running in the morning up until it died on me Friday afternoon

My engine decided to stop running yesterday (seemed to stall at a stop sign). Wouldn't start. No luck with jumper cables. Appeared to have no spark. Today i checked and i'm seeing increased 'miss counter' which seems to be a lack of Home signals registering. I swapped out a different camshaft (and crank) sensor to no avail. Am i correct to think the problem is likely in the wires for camshaft sensor->ecu. or should i be looking elsewhere? thanks :banghead:

IIRC oil fill level is flush with the side plug. It is my understanding that ford designed it to not require fluid exchanges. Dumping half your oil out the tail shaft when you pull the engine does not count as scheduled maintenance. It's just one of those things we all do but the T9 does not require.

Unusually slow... Something must have broken

John. any chance that can be oil fouling the intake from your filter. I previously noted increased oil in my ITB trumpet after cleaning and re-oiling my foam air filter. and that appears to be on cylinder #1?

External lump with return line/pressure regulator in my Birkin

Also try carbuildersolutions www. They have lots of bits & bobs

Why not a Storker then?

Bruce - blackhole and I are pretty close by if you need assistance Or when you’re ready for a blat P

Road trip to Oxford CT. Quantum mechanics (John Esposito) is the T9 guy in the northeast

Kiwi: drive to the coast to see haystack rock at Cannon Beach. Rt 101 along the coast is a scenic drive. There is also Mt Hood. I'm sure your colleagues will fill you in on additional touristy things to do Car looks sharp p.
