Well done Neil, that car of yours is getting faster all the time!

By the way, can you spectate at these Javelin track days? I never tire of photographing TVRs on track (or anywhere for that matter).

it looks good and it sounds good, also not to loud for trackdays I guess.

So you are ready for donny ?

See you there BIG GRID x

[Dollyman1850]

Not quite ready Pete but will be.
Was running 130 degree oil temps after 20 mins so Have just got in from garage tonight after fitting a new 25 row oil cooler in front of the radiator..Will get pipes made up tomorrow.
Couple of reservoir fluid leaks to sort and some fresh royal purple oil.

I haven't driven Donnington before so don't expect me to be on the pace at this race..looks like I will have to learn track in qually and then do as best as I can.. Not ideal but hey ho.
1155 pads are much better than the old EBC Yellows I was running…good bite from cold once bedded in.

I still reckon it is too long in the diff…Just getting into top at pit exit??

Car is between 97 and 99db depending on who tests it at about 4800 revs (6 limit)

Hi Peter.

Thanks Neil, I live only five miles up the road so will pop along one day.

My 3000M was noise tested at Croft last year and was measured at 101dB at 4000rpm!

Hi Perry

Race Late Saturday. But will be there Sunday so see you there.

Pete

[77racing]

we re in the garages pop in will you, but we have an early start sat so see you after qually

[Dollyman1850]

Swinging 60's group 2 on Saturday Perry.

Currently spannering and fitting bigger oil cooler.. I am hoping that this will sort the high oil temps and also maybe lower water temps a smudge as a result..



See you Sat.

[77racing]

Lookin good although I would personally have plumbed in two smaller rads either side to help avoid a rad cold/hot spot. it will be much better than with out as you say. Best of luck, will see you in the morning some time depending on what work any of our cars might need after qually. I,m out in the Chevrolet tomorrow at Combe, hopefully to lower the GT lap record again so full on racing at the moment.see ya
