Re: Fostek's R&D department

Sorry for the complete lack of updates! This car has somewhat taken a back seat lately...

Following the rolling road session, the car did a couple of test sessions, mostly things were very promising, couple of small handling issues (like the need for an anti-roll bar!) and the exhaust setting fire to the floor/drivers feet aside...

Main issue was some gearshift related gremlins: To the best of my knowledge this is the first time a system quite like this has been used in this way on this type of gearbox, so a lot of the system was "an educated guess" in terms of mechanical and pneumatic setup... It did work very well most the time but it seems the pneumatics need a re-think to get the best out of the system (easy to get a system that 'works' - I.e. Change gear - but to get it working as fast and slick as I want has proved a headache!

Anyway a solution is in sight, just waiting for some pneumatics to arrive then it can all go back together.

Watch this space.

Glad to hear that there's a fix in the pipeline Tom

Oh, and if you ever sell it I want first refusal please!

Re: Fostek's R&D department

Well it's back together, and so far so good, had it out on a local test track at the weekend and the gear shift gremlins seem to have gone - shifts are now super fast and slick. We're busy making/installing an antiroll bar at the moment - some silly sod (me) mounted the dry sump tank in the way of the original ARB, so it's required some fettling. With this fitted, it's about ready for a proper test

Re: Fostek's R&D department

Not sure. You could give Damien a call but he seems to be more into mapping ECUs. If he can't help then go to Bogg Brothers near Malton. They are class with Ford engines, especially if they are on carbs.
