Cheers for the comments guys. I trailered the car to Torque Exhaust in Enfeild yesterday, Simon and Tony wanted to see why the Turbo gasket and manifold had been blown out. They removed the de-cat, placed stands under the system so it sat perfect and then offered the de-cat up to it. There was about a 15mm gap at the top of the pipe, so whilst trying to tighten it up I had pulled the exhaust out of line and it had obviously been pulling on the manifold.

They then cut the de-cat and welded it back together allowing the flanges to line up perfectly. Top job and I highly recommend these guys, I did notice that whilst I had fitted the de-cat on the piss it had caused the tail pipe to be out of line and burnt the rear bumper

Oil change and she is ready for Round 5 at Silverstone, unless I can get a F-con V pro before then

Silverstone?

Smokey 1 · 17th July 2008, 09:15 AM

hahahah, Well spotted Steven

You bean counters are far too picky, wish it was Silverstone. Paddock Hill bend is a bit of a nail biter.
Hope you are coming down to watch Steven

Paddock Hill is scary as anything approaching at 145-150 (my radar gun speed last year). I decided to go all out in the final last year, only to lose my bottle after Barrie (DCY) spun out in front of me

Would have had a podium if i could of mustered that corner a bit faster

Doing what i can to be there, only just remembered the hotel has been booked an paid for since April! So one less cost to consider! Either way, i think we will be there.

Smokey 1 · 17th July 2008, 01:50 PM

Good stuff Steven, see you there fella

First off a big thanks to Alex and Rob at Serious Performance, they popped over to our unit this morning and gave the Taisan and White the once over for this weekend. Pure class guys what you did in a few hours would have taken me a bloody week

The whole look of the Taisan has changed over this year, what with competing in Time Attack and wanting to become more competitive, the aero parts have been fitted and have given the car a lot more grip, and a better look IMHO. Step up Mr Ben Linney, after sorting out the rear diff, inter cooler and wing. Ben has sorted us out with a new set of shoes and regardless of the hour's I will spend cleaning them, I think they look brilliant

Last and by no means least Tweenierob and Justin. Justin spent this week giving me a helping hand, changing oil, tidying wiring, fitting new hose clamps, the de-cat, re fitting and sealing the turbos etc the list is endless. So with the Taisan now given a clean bill of health over to the man with the lap top. Rob had always set the Taisan up to last and have decent power but limited to 7500 rpm. I think about 610 bhp at the fly wheel @ 1.5 bar, This is how I have run the car at this years Time Attack events. Rob has upped the boost to 1.8 bar and increased the rev limit to 8500 rpm. Bloody hell the difference is unreal. (oh and before I forget, cheers for the lend of the Tomie eye scoop

)

Roll on this weekend and Ten Of The Best, fingers crossed
