Running again...but a bit rough (no change there then!)
Drove all the way to the autodrome, and got out a fair few times in the morning - got some VERY sticky road legal tyres on, so heavy braking was no problem, tyres warmed up very quick and stuck like glue - big grin all morning.
After lunch, fired her up, waiting in the pits to be waved out and the engine just cut out, and then refused to start (don't worry Stu, didn't crash it!). No power to the plugs, injectors etc. Engine turning over fine, so assumed it was electrical fault - but just couldn't work out what.
Got it home on a flatbed that evening.
Bro spent Monday tinkering, and we "think" we've fixed it - would you believe it seems to be just a loose earth strap? Engine now fires up, but I've still to take it out on the road to check it out.
When I've got the pics through I'll post some up, For anyone nervous about doing a track day, I would seriously recommend Bedford Autodrome. I've been with Javelin Track Days twice now, and even with this set back it was a enjoyable day.
Cheers
Austen
