Silverstone Time Attack

Two vids from Time Attack, they are a tad washed out (I think a new camera is needed)! But at least you can see the car in action!

Silverstone Time Attack shakedown

At last the first outing for the FD! After many months of tweaks changes and running in the car was ready for round three of Time Attack at Silverstone circuit (or so I thought)!

The first warm out session went well but intake temps were a tad high since the water injection wasn't working (turned out to be the one way valve) and oil was getting out of engine (fixed thanks to Jay for the pipe and a water bottle for a true JDM oil catch tank).

I did better in the qualifying but water temps suddenly jumped up which would suggest my water pump is on it way out. My time was 1.08 - four seconds off the top cars so not bad for the car and drivers first test outing. Roll on Brands Hatch on June 28!!

Car decals

After many thoughts on design I got my new 'flaming rotor' decals completed and cut to put on the car, not long to get it finished since I'm off to Silverstone Saturday evening! Massive thanks to Si at SJS Design Factory www.sjsdesign.com for cutting out my designs.

Window problems

For some reason my windows decided to stop working, after checking the Mazda wiring diagrams and tracing wires it turned out to be the black F100 box. Happily the windows now work! I also took the opportunity to seal up all the loom since all electrics worked for the trip to Oulton Park. A huge job!
