Default Track car project - season 3

Season 1 thread: http://www.boat-drinks.co.uk/showthr...light=humphrey

Season 2 thread : http://www.boat-drinks.co.uk/showthr...light=humphrey

That's right, another year of racing for me and Phil, and of course our track car, Humphrey.

We have some more plans for the Humph this year although he is driveable at the moment. Pre season work has so far been as follows:

Moving of battery to front of car and replacement with a lightweight racing battery:



Preparation for a chargecooler conversion - parts of which you can see in the pic above!

Because the battery has come out of the back, making sure the intercooler has something to sit on:



Internal and external kill switches for the battery:





Oil temp and boost gauges:



Docking and power for Phil's Xmas pressie, a datalogger:



This is pretty much how we will run him for our test day at Barkston Heath, Lincolnshire in 3 weeks time. Plans for the season include brake conversion, chargecooler, and perhaps a respray of nothing too bad happens!!

Toyota Sprint Season provisional dates and locations are as follows - give us a shout if you fancy coming along!

March 21st TSS Round 1 Rockingham
April 4th TSS Round 2 Barkston
June 6th TSS R3 Fakenham, Norfolk
July 24th TSS R4 Barkston
September 19th TSS R5 Woodbridge
October 16th TSS R6 Tockwith
