Stumason10 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Nice to see you all today!! Great to see Greg looking so well. Thanks for popping by after the race. Sorry race 2 was so short. Always next year!!
Martin R Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Stu, not serious i hope ? There was a worrying amount of smoke from the rear on the Green flag lap.
Stumason10 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 All oil that should be in the engine, was all over the undertray and engine bay. Don't know why yet. Oil pressure light didn't come on, so think a seal or something has gone in the top end of engine. Was coming out the top of the timing belt cover too!! Went straight after the practice start of the green flag lap. Time for a full rebuild me thinks. Going to have a chat with a few local engine builders and see if they can fix and maybe upgrade a bit too.
Martin R Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Sounds like cam seal or oil pump seal. The cam belt may have been dragging it up the engine.
Stumason10 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Hope so, be nice if something simple. Did you guys have a good day?
Martin R Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Always a good day watching the Elise racing. Eventful as ever It just so happens we are in Norfolk on holiday when the next one is at Snetterton.
Stumason10 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Check out Vid @ 3 mins if you want to see a rather close shave...... I am the black car narrowly missing the white one!
russelld Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 You were lucky Stu !!! Coppice is unforgiving, I span there on my first outing to Donny,
Stumason10 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Fortunately noticed it was on the way and managed to avoid him..Pretty close though, great corner as you can launch it in over the kerb then spend the rest of the corner on a tweak of oppo...... Did spin there in Quali too.
