Re: Ex Dunlop GTi Challenge car
Quick update. No more trackdays yet but we are looking at end of month or early August as we have been working through a few issues since Snetterton. First off was the headgasket, then started slowly losing power until engine would mis-fire then only rev to 3000rpm which was the fuel pump failing at only putting out 1.5 Bar pressure when hot, next was the engine check light for a failed IMA sensor then a week later check engine light again for the ambient pressure sensor. Anyway touch wood been to various Classic and retro meets with the car getting a lot of interest for a Rover and no more faults
We even won "Car of The Show" at Auto Linked rolling road event which meant we had to go on the Rolling Road

If everything goes to plan on next trackday plan is to be ready for the final race in September as the MG Cup are holding a RoverSport special event

From outside it looks stunningly magnificent even there's no much left inside !
And of course brilliant results in the end.

Re: Ex Dunlop GTi Challenge car
Few pics from first trackday in 3 years! Wasnt the best day rained until 3pm and was using new Hankook RS4 semi slicks so there was no front end grip what so ever due to standing water. Also had a fairly close call heading backwards towards the pit stright wall at 60mph due to a spin after running wide and putting the nearside rear wheel onto the red and whites!

Re: Ex Dunlop GTi Challenge car
Thanks for the pictures and update John! Have you done any research on 3 Door numbers by any chance? Tom Pinney's website holds the data, but he's not around at present.
