First part last run Still a lot of traffic after sorting the steering arm ball joint

Love a black and white filter

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

here is the data i got from the session when the ball joint and steering arm separated

needless to say it was a fairly short session

 

 

 

i didnt get any longer data as my priority's changed to get the car running and having fun

im sure the temps would of stayed between 30 and 40 for as long as the water lasted, 

 

one thing i did think about last night was changing the restrictor   in the fast acting valve to a smaller one i will put this on my list to try next 

ive tried reducing  the duty cycle to the controller but this didnt cool as well and also tried altering the controller to control the water later and this didnt work well with the temps 

 

so there is a few more things to try which will reduce the amount of water used and be effective

IAT's between 30° and 40°C while giving it the beans on track is an achievement...   How about fitting a size smaller jets? (a PITA to access/fit now...)

yes this would be  a PITA to do but is a option, i will try puting a smaller restrictor in the fast acting valve first and then see how that goes 

my thinking was keeping the duty cycle the same but restrict the a amount of water 

 

but its working and at the moment im happy there will also be a bit of fine tuning in the map as i dont think im making the most of the water with ignition yet, the failsafe is working great, a the water gets lower the second map kicks in the bit to becareful off as the ecu comes out of failsafe when you get the water at a level with the sensor it takes three seconds for the water to kick back in.

Shark helmets are the fastest. In white they're worth at least 30bhp.

Does this mean my tires will be bald quicker

You might be lucky but I only use my black HJC in the vx these days. My white shark is reseved solely for motorbike use. If you want tyre life, try a yellow Arai.

Well gave the car a once over today after oulton ZzR should get a other 2 track days out of these there all wearing quite evenly x4 the rear insides are a little lower Brake pads should get a other half day out of these but will need to carry some new ones with me The other ball joint was lose but did have a but on it 😂

Wondering if it's something to do with those fancy steering arms? Surely you can't forget to do both nuts up lol

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Think I'm going to invest in some bells and rotors this year see if this helps to get more than 2 & 1/2 days out of a set of pads The other thing I've been thinking about is the water injection tank I got a good 8-10 laps before the fail safe kicked in ( probably still a good litre in the tank )on the water tank (2.2 litres ) which really is not quite enough, I know there some room behind the battery and heater and could probably get a good 10 litres of water down there if I found the correct tank, but think a 5 litre tank down there feeding from a new 2.2 litre washer bottle should see me good and only require me to car a other 5 litres of water along with me for the day I'm hoping to get a off the shelf 5 litre tank which will fit down there So next week I will have a good look around and see what's available. I did wonder about a 5 litre Jerry can

Could well be the arms Has anyone else had issues ??

[Tony H]

I have those arms and never liked how little thread protrudes from the ball joint when done up. If the nut loosens on oem it should at least stay down the thread so if the taper fit goes it just gets loads of play rather than loss of control. On these arms the nut barely has a thread out the nylon.
