how do york times compare to santa pod?

[pulpmelon_r]

Pod is the best track in the country, most racers run a tenth or two faster on the 60ft

not on a normal rwyb day it isnt! its like greased teflon then

[pulpmelon_r]

Put it this way, 2.1's are doable on street tyres at pod, 2.2's are the norm at York

It was a good day to be honest, weather was fine just freezing cold, but hey it's England.

Few nice Type R's and one very quick turbo'd EG haha that thing was mental...until postman pat turned up.

Just take it out each night after dinner for an hour - puts few hundred miles on the clutch in no time.

Kill off a few M3's and Carreras on the way back & jobs a goodun [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

It's the engine I'm currently running in so using car for work at the moment (fookin pain with buckets, cage and harnesses and a suit).

Also having the FN2 etuned at the moment so having to take that out most nights. Fuel bill is steep at the moment as no 50mpg's like an MPS!

Apparently a focus ST gets even moar mpg

What sort of bed in cycle has been recomended? were the piston rings seated on the dyno?

[Lee H 27]

Not been near a dyno yet. I rebuilt the engine myself and then first run out I accelerated to about 5k revs at half throttle and then let the engine brake back down to about 2.5k rpm. Then drove a few minutes and kept repeating the process for about 25 miles. After that I have changed the oil for more mineral oil and am just driving normally now but varying revs all the time.

Going to change again at 300 miles and then give it more boost and throttle (just on actuator pressure at the moment). Will put normal oil in at 500 miles and then go to York I reckon.

Compression test after 50 miles was showing 150psi on each cylinder so the bedding in was pretty much done by that point really.

[pulpmelon_r]

Sounds like you've been doing all the right things mate

Hope you can make it!
