BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) had good time . after a few laps i noticed a bit of noise when braking hard at the end of the backstraight . (must check those brake pads) after a couple of sessions , thought i might swap the front and rear wheels around to save the front left tyre a bit , took the wheels off ,no brake pads left in the front . so a quick trip back home to papakura swap the pads out for some others i laying around , and while i am doing this i get a text fornt my mate back at the track saying better bring a tow rope saying car went pop after 7000rpm . so anyway i head back drive around the track pick him up at the end of the back straight to w the car back to the pits . we do a few tests , figuire its just the fuel pump , tow him back ot drury , swap out the pump . still no go then discover no spark at the plug leads , but had spark at the coil lead (tested back at the tarck) pull the dizzy cap off found the rotor cap in bits ,swapped that out and a way it goes again . then off to the "2 fat cows " for drinks and food. managed a few good laps , but the brakes wern't so good this time around .
