Despite a successful test at Cadwell Christine lost her head gasket when a blown hose dropped all the coolant.

 

It's swapped in double short order, and the car heads to Novatech - www.nt-r.com - for a session on the dyno.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sadly we accidentally blurred all the numbers. Awww, poor you.

 

But this is not Christine's engine. She's the test hack, she was only testing the head for project X. Back home then, engine out, and she gets her old one back to go racing with.

 

Expect to see more of this as the season progresses, we're developing the other car, but we're not necessarily doing it under the watchful eye of the race paddock.

 

An engine transplant is but the work of a day, you can practically whistle these days and they just hop out by themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a week to go til Snetterton, she's ready to go again. She will retain the new subframe for now, it hasn't been race tested yet and we need to know how she'll take a race start.
