We just need to keep Jason away from pies :D

Putting him in the back of my car whilst rallying upsets the weight distro no end, seems I constantly have the back end trying to go faster than I am!

Don't know yet, I want to complete a competition i'm in... Had a second place out of 50. But did'nt got any points last time because the engine died in the training.

The gas suddenly blocked on open position. overrevved the engine. It has no revvlimiter

crankshaft, bearings and bolts are killed.

A new highspec engine will be there when its time for it. And thats not now.

Gutting, I've seen a few do that (not volvos but escorts) didn't you have enough time to shut it off or did it just blow right there and then?

Well, it took a few seconds before I could shut it down. Right after that there was a heavy BOINK sound after restart the engine.

I called my revision sponsor. He said I should check the pistons too. They can crack when the engine is overrevved. So, probably new bearings and a gasket I have to buy (already ordered). Not very expensive.

Looking forward to seeing it. Don't go for the Beemer - you don't want to be like all the others, stay weird and quick with a V300 8)

While I build up the new engine, I can drift the beemer, understand? So I won't loose too many points, and I can still improve my skills and make name.

:wink:
