It turned out that the crank signal wire snapped/got trod on. Nothing too serious, and it happened after I deaded the tyres to the canvas anyway so wasn't to disapointing.. Hitting the gravel on the first run however was a little disapointing when I bust the bumper off

thank god for doing the photoshoot on Friday

Keefe · 22-06-2008, 18:41

Ouch, hope its nothing terminal.

Congrats on the magazine shoot though, i was hoping you'de go with Redline, one maistream mag that will actually do a write up worthy of the car. The pic above looks like the ones from the Roger Clarke Impreza shoot, in which case they'll be fantastic

*phew*

when I saw you guys sitting around on the wall out the front of the pits. I either thought it was easy fix and couldnt be arsed or it was something seriously fooked.

Glad its just a wiring issue. Didn't see your off as we were on the grass bank, when you didnt come round we went up to the seating in the grandstand and saw you minus a bumper and you turning round and setting off again.

try building the next car from sctatch as you all seem to have enought tallent too!

fudi · 23-06-2008, 09:06

i'll explain my comment : its a personal thing sorry guys was not meant to offend, i know and understand the importance of a shoot like you said it shows the amount of hardwork you guys have put in, but personally i prefer shoots that are done in an outside environment being used.

Hope to hear its nothing serious Phil and it gets fixed soon. It sounded and looked awesome when it was working!

oi my car aint a SIL80, and i didnt crash into shit lol but i was fricking close none the less!!!

**Phil** · 24-06-2008, 14:15

Yeah I definately breathed in as the S15 cut out and you and Bon whipped past

**Bon Bon** · 24-06-2008, 14:39

No need to worry, it's not like I couldn't steer properly or anything

Eddy · 26-06-2008, 11:42

Any videos in better quality Phil?

**Phil** · 28-06-2008, 12:09

Not yet

. Once we sort the little probs out, we'll hopefully be getting Ringer, to work his magic behind the camera

In parts? Yes. If you count labour.. err no.

**Phil** · 28-06-2008, 12:57

Exactly. I haven't added up the cost of components, but if you paid someone to build this car from scratch, including all parts, and to project manage it, you'd be looking at over £150,000 I reckon...

ant · 28-06-2008, 13:37

that was just my bill

superclarkey · 28-06-2008, 17:53

Good because you can buy the pizza's tonight

the Team Orange car is $150,000, thats US dorrars, not pounds, so it works out about £75,000 in english money

**Phil** · 01-07-2008, 22:41

Just managed to get the car ready for tomorrow. Had an alternator rewound and new bearings done in 4 hours which is sweet.
Also did another alignment by eye and tape measure to give the front of the car less camber (it was 7.5degree's negative.
I'm off to see the guys at Garage Mac first thing tomorrow to see if my measurements work out, and we'll be testing the car at Pod straight afterwards.
It may or may not rain. Either way I'm happy as I need to test it in all scenarios as it could rain at EDC round 4 for all we know., plus I went to a load of effort to get a windscreen wiper on this car when there's an engine in the way of the normal wiper setup

xborninthefightx · 01-07-2008, 23:27

Oh man, i wish i was going tomorrow, bollockx would love to see it in action again.

kam · 02-07-2008, 20:42

Alignment is such a massive part of car setup, how come you haven't had it done properly?

**Phil** · 02-07-2008, 20:51

I have twice. I'm just playing with settings.
