I thought that I would update the list that the rally car had its first
drive under turbo power today. It was a short 10 minute blast (it ended
when the lower IC hose popped off - that's why they call it a shake down
run!)
I felt the boost come one not sure when since I the tac was acting flaky -
(its on the punch list).
Some of you saw either first hand or the pictures of the car post-discussion
with a tree in Canada during a race but know with a new front right nose,
new paint job and refreshed MC-1 - the car looks great (from 5 feet away)
and (almost) runs great as well. I am hoping to have the car running well
for the RallyRight Club Rally in PA.
I want to very publicly thank the following people:
Marc Swanson - thanks for the letting me look and photograph your car as
well as the help with diagnosing the fuel problem
Javad - thanks for advice on the oil cooler as well as the help with the
fuel problem
Huw- thanks - for the email support
Stot - Thanks for coming down with Chris and working through the wiring
harness -also for pointing out that my fuel feed and return lines were
switched (everyone - that was my fuel problem)
And an extra special thanks to Chris Semple - I really appreciate the
massive abuse to my credit card! (Speaking of that I left you a voicemail -
I need some more parts). Seriously thanks for the help on the phone and
coming down with Stot.
I will post pictures once I take them.
