I finaly got to give the coupe a proper run on sunday after fixing the miss and the turbo drain line. I managed to get a 67.1 on the final lap and ended up 3rd in my class, outright open and closed over 2 litres (1c).
I was running brand new bridgstones re55, what a tyre!

With a bit more practice (it was really the fist time I have driven it with anger around the track) I should be able to get into the 66's and if all goes well maybe the 65's (would have to be going very well). At the moment I am running 15.5psi on 98 ron 255 hp, Andrew was runnin 20 something psi on av gas 308 hp. With that amount of power I should definatly get my times down but at the moment 255hp is plenty.
The day was not with out it dramas though, I had only got 1 full go at 4 hot laps out of 4 attempts. The hose clamps in the ic piping straight out of the turbo kept on blowing off very frustrating. I had to replace the big fat clamps for skiny normal clamps. It managed to hold together for the last run.
I also have a problem with the catch can filling up somewhere between 1 and 2 liters so much that after the 5the lap the oil preasure light came on for a brief second whilst cornering. I will be getting a leak down test to try and find out why. From what I can gather ca's have a bit of trouble draining the oil from the top whin under sustained high rpms. I have a bit of work trying to sort out this issue.
Next time I will try and mount a camera of some sort for a bit of video fortage. It was great fun hauling in an 5.8 litre xy down the staight.
