Phil Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 PhilGood news. You had any issues? Pm me mate and i will see what i can sort.Plenty of issues lolBut none really relating to the oil pressure or pumpHad fuel pump fail due to cavitation and picked it up via wideband.Would worry that without a baffled sump I could have lack of oil without knowing it and a proven baffled sump (like yours) would safe guard against that.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abbott Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 20/10/2015 came and it was time to be off to do another open pit day at brands hatchWhich was a good day for weather. Turned up and swopped over the wheels for the semi slicks as the it was going to be warm and dry. Not the best days of driving and was not feeling the car during the morning having 3x spins 2 of them at 80mph. Pushing a little hard on not so warm tyres ooops but the afternoon was better and manage to get some good laps in and took it a little easier. Testing wise running a extra 1/2 litre of oil made the differance and had no warning signals come up on the gauge Heres some pictures of the dayGot the car back and the following day gott the track wheels out the car and checked over tyres and to give the wheels a good clean as they were covered in brake dust etc.Car at the moment is back at R&R detailing having a good clean and will be back for this week.At the weekend i made a cheeky purchase a treated my self to a new bucket seat for the drivers seat always wanted a Recaro SPG seat as much as my carbon cobra seat is a amazing seat.Last night i have desided to enter a track day compition how fast is your car Evo mag day for this saturday at Bedford GP circuit so looking forward for the last event this year and push the glanza a little more.Updates to follow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
