Competed in Time Trial for the first time with NASA in October 2008 and set a track record in TTF at Autobahn full course
Competed again in NASA Time Trial in June and again set TTF track record at Grattan
Decided to compete in TTE to have more cars to compete with and got 1st place at Grattan.
Competed in TTE at Blackhawk (didn't even bother with TTF despite it being allowed/qualified for TTF) and got 3rd place Saturday and 2nd place sunday despite the missed shift and scattering the motor...

STAY TUNED

Canceled a few track days to allow weekend time to install replacement engine..

Goal of going back to Autobahn South Track July 18th and 19th with NASA and run in TTE or TTF (not sure which yet).

Going to Performance Touring, I presume.

cweber · 06-25-2009, 01:00 PM

with the G20?

No..

The Sentra we have in the garage already caged shell from AZ will be the PTE car for W2W but this g20 will never make it to W2W status (IT will get sold as a street legal DE/TT track rat in spring is my guess once our sentra is track ready to be honest)

The title says "Racecar" . . .

haha... you got me there..

but yeah, it's doomed to be a Time Trial car and not a W2W (while in our ownership anyway)

cweber · 06-28-2009, 08:31 AM

Well, we moved the p10 from Steve's garage back to ours and got it set up yesterday..

Today the engine removal process begins:

cweber · 06-28-2009, 09:42 AM

so for the hell of it we just took off the VC.. and from this viewpoint, you'd never know anything was wrong.. so yeah, the bottom end is TOAST...

99MPower · 06-28-2009, 07:36 PM

good stuff

cweber · 06-28-2009, 08:38 PM

checked #1 bearing before dinner and it was fine..
and not #3 either....

We still suspect the oil pump and the tabs broken off from the overrev resulting in no oil pressure but we'll see....

In case I didn't mention it before, the oil was NOT silver (no evidence of spun bearings) when draining it...

Anyway.....

Here are photos for everyone to see:

cweber · 06-28-2009, 09:01 PM

And the verdict IS....

#4 is bad.. spun bearing from over-rev.. so yeah.. the block is okay but not the crank.. stretched... done...

Photo evidence:

cweber · 07-02-2009, 04:00 PM

Well, we are getting closer to install time..

Today I picked up the resurfaced flywheel, fedex delivered a brand new clutch kit AND I picked up the engine:

cweber · 07-03-2009, 02:58 PM

well, had some work to do on the weld repair.. still working on it now but it'll be a nice repair and work nicely in the end...

It's amazing what weld repairs can do for broken mounts off engine blocks these days (and it helps to have a cousin at a machine shop who can weld aluminum):

cweber · 07-03-2009, 03:42 PM

and slowly drilling new mount holes to tap:

so now it's finally ready for flywheel and tranny to get mated up!

meanwhile, our dog is being unladylike enjoying being a dog:
