Heel & Toe For Heroes: Rockingham Test doesn't go as planned!
In which I meet up with the team from Heel & Toe for Heroes at Rockingham Motor Speedway in North Carolina for the for further testing of their E46 BMW, following the engine problems at our last race. A larger rebuilt engine has been fitted and it was time for a shakedown.
As usual, it was not all smooth sailing! A missing alternator cable was the first problem, which was easily fixed and not a big deal. A persistent misfire was eventually traced to a couple of faulty injectors, but the car was smoking a lot and using about as much oil as gas! We did get it running fine by the end of the day, only to find a little brake issue, which caused us to park the car. Hopefully they are all easy fixes - the engine has returned to his maker to diagnose the oil consumption issue.
The guys all got to drive, which was the important thing, and are itching for their next race in December at Road Atlanta.

Summer Sim Series: Weeks 9&10: Radicals in Reverse and 60s Classics
Переглядів 23Місяць тому
I may have miscounted a week here and this could be weeks 8&9! The first week saw the Radicals in action, running the track in reverse for the first time, while the second week we saw three different 60's classics running on the technical layout. The fields may have been small but the racing was intense, particularly with an agreement amongst the drivers to have full course yellows to bunch up ...

    Probably a dumb question on my part,but when you put the sensor and pipe back onto the new pump,does the pipe have 2 washers either side top and bottom? Ive just put the pipe back on and can only see one washer which is on top then the sensor on top of that.?

    • @trackrekord
      @trackrekord 4 місяці тому

      No question is a dumb question in my book! Yes, that fitting is what’s known as a banjo bolt and if requires two new crush washers - one on either side of the fitting on the hose. Hope that helps. If you don’t have both it will leak power steering fluid everywhere.

    2 years in with my Kona Ultimate EV, I'd buy another tomorrow but all cars come with negatives here's what I"ve found. There's an enormous well at the bottom of the windshield, this fills with snow which then becomes ice and well, it's a pain. I bought a hood/windshield cover for $25. The 12 V is critical, while an ICE car will go without the 12 battery, not so the Kona. There is no way to tell the condition of the 12 V battery and if it starts to go, you're in trouble with the potential of getting stranded or worse. It appears there are "devices" operating from the 12 V battery that you don't know about, so taking care of this critical element of the car is ... hit or miss. I don't know what the size of cell phones are in Korea, but might does lie flat in the cell phone cubby hole, someone wasn't thinking. I thought I'd criticize the manual but every manual of every car I've owned has been awful, the Kona EV's no worse than average... Now, as has been mentioned in some of the comments, driving an EV is different, dealerships are awful at knowing how to transition people from ICE to EV. It would be a simple matter for the manufacturer to write netbased training program, but I suppose that would be too customer oriented.

      @trackrekord 8 місяців тому

      Looking forward to it too - hopefully no rain this time. Yes we changed one of the hangers at Barber - what I found was two things - the exhaust as modified to remove the catalytic converter isn’t quite the shape it was before so it was misaligned at the back - putting lateral strain on the hangers, plus the wider tires on the 16” wheel was causing the tire to rub on the silencer, putting even more strain on the hanger. I managed to fix it by reversing the hardware so the hangers are more vertical. That exhaust weighs too much and is too quiet (some of the drivers said they couldn’t hear the engine), so that will be a modification in the near future!

    out of all high speed stability changes I dont really mind the spoiler, cfd results have shown up to 60% or so in reduction of rear lift and for a short wheelbase car every bit helps, however, Im not a fan of audi messing with the suspension or adding esp, cars got less sharp, which is fine for the general masses I suppose, but disappointing for the enthusiasts. I have an early 99 apx 225ps coupe in black and absolutely love these cars. Steve, yours is a really nice example, if only mine was this good when got it. Ive done a fair amount of work to mine over the years, mainly lots of oem parts for reliability, but also some modifications to make it more focused keeping it as a dual purpose machine. I would highly recommend sourcing pre recall front control arms if possible, they use smaller front bushings as originally intended (I believe 30mm vs 45mm) same result can be achieved using metal inserts, for bushings I went with poly from a company in Poland called StrongFlex, also running monotube Bilstein B14 suspension, locally fabricated rear camber arms with heim joints, standard 14mm drilled arb raising the effective stiffness rate for the price of a couple good 10mm drill bits, lowering is kept to a minimum for roll center, I could go on and on, but you get the idea. In the near future plan on taking the car out for a lap in Nordschleife

      Thanks for all the input, definitely food for thought - I am keeping this as a road car, I have plenty (my wife would say too many!) of track-focused cars, but I definitely want to sharpen up the handling. There is a clunk coming from the rear which needs addressing and the front upper shock mounts are clearly in need of replacement. But first of all I have coilovers to fit t my Boxster! Have fun at the Green Hell - I wish I was able to visit with one of my cars. Thanks also for the compliment on the car - I couldn’t believe the condition when I got it and I was prepared to pay more than I actually did in the auction.

    What’s your preferred method of data logging your Audi?

      It’s proprietary software from Motoza - they call it Motoza PS - its the software for reading and writing to the ECU via the OBD II port

    Hey! I think i might have the same problem but i am not sure. Is the sound you’ve heard something like an” electric motor on effort” kinda thing? Because that’s what i hear in mine, does it all the time, but worse when turning.

    • @trackrekord
      @trackrekord 8 місяців тому

      Yup, that sounds like it could be the pump. Check the fluid level - if it is low the pump makes a grinding noise - usually just on turning, but if it is really low it will do it all the time

      Wasn’t that fun? Unfortunately we adjusted the shocks for a wet set up and the person that did it didn’t realize that Konis adjust anti-clockwise to make them stiffer, so we were on the stiffest settings when we needed the opposite!

      Sounds like your choice was worse than ours - at least we had all season tires, but they were old and 400 wear index, so it was like driving on ice. We thought running a narrower, treaded tire would be the way to go. How wrong we were!

    A very honest, sober yet inspiring "closer look" at this icon of automotive design - showcased by your lovely Mauritius blue example. Yes, it's not a bonafide sports car as you state, as it shares its underpinnings with some of its siblings, but isn't it just a sight to behold and a joy to drive? Yours just pops in Maurtius blue with its Aniseed yellow on black interior, and is in lovely condition. I feel the mk1 TT is a unique example of Bauhaus design and I can't imagine parting with mine any time soon - also a 2003, 225 that lives in Australia. Looking forward to more of your content.

      Thanks, yes I am really glad I picked this one up - it’s got a couple of Nicks and scratches, but is otherwise in great shape, and I hadn’t seen this colour interior before. I agree, it is a beautiful design, and looks as fresh today as it did over 20 years ago.
