Cheers Nigel! Well it drove onto the trailer which is always a good sign. Exhaust is blowing but the manifold is fcuked so could be that but going to have a look at the track tomorrow. Nothing in the boot is mounted properly so another job for tomorrow. Absolutley knackered snetterton here we come

How did it go guys, did you manage to get it up and running properly in time? I can only imagine how hard you had to work to do that full engine purchase/swap in just 48 hours.

4th in terms of championship. Not a smooth day for Team Wall. Interesting to note from the pdf the club lap record of 1:25.3ish of Jimmy. On this track the sierra has got much faster. These southern tracks arent very technical huh? ;-)

We were just too rushed so couldnt get the car ready. We struggled to pass scruitineering because of a failed rain light. Turbo manifold was blowing and its cracked. Ran out of time before first session and was still fitting heat shields as everyone was already out on track. Got the car out but not for long as we forgot to fuel it and it started missing. New plugs and fuel in for the next session but struggled for pace. Tried different setups but Darron got frustrated by the lap times. Had a coolant leak and forgot to reconnect the brake servo vac pipe on the inlet mani. The list of mistakes goes on but the combination of no time, rushing and no sleep took its toll. I'm just happy we made it there and we will be looking to do our best at oulton and fight for a podium. Ronnie and Umars cars look to be untouchable if they don't have any mechanicals.

Im thinking Daz knows his way round Oulton. You two should get extra points just for being entertaining too. Double act and a half.

That was on the Pirelli tyres.  They generally have a seperate list of lap records for the old tyres , just looks like the put the old one in by mistake :)

Car is back at Liam's Really didn't sound too healthy !! Most important thing for me is to find out why it felt like it was trying to shake itself to death during the final,I am sure Liam will get to it,as we had no under trays on it could be that the rear clam was flapping about?? As I am sure we didn't put all the bolts back in! Looking back I can't believe we did what we did getting to snetterton,it was a insane weekend for sure,I don't even know how I stayed awake for the drive home

Cant believe the car sounds like a sack of sh*t again. It was fine when it got backed back on the trailer after snet. Liam will sort it!
