Title: Videos from Oulton Park Track Day 01-03-13
Post by: Robin on March 01, 2013, 10:52:02 pm
Did a track day at Oulton in the Polo.

Polo did well until 5th gear got mashed after lunch so had to call it a day.

First video (Polo vs M3 - action starts around 1:45mins.

Nope - I thought it had but speaking to the owner it's running induction kit, LSD, very low final drive (130mph max), fully stripped, caged and cut slicks - he said he was at the very limit and couldn't have gone any quicker - he was certainly handy at the wheel.

Makes sense, it was a lot quicker than the others on track.

And here is a shot of the engine with the turbo.

Well I have finally managed to find some spare time to swap the gearbox for one which is fitted with a quaife. Opened up the box and here is the damage:

(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b155/robinyau/676DB68C-8C10-421F-9112-C424852668B6-1879-000000C84640F328_zps3b762009.jpg)

Was hoping i could change 5th gear but there is lots of chewed teeth in the box so going to have to strip it down to get the LSD out to put into my spare atv.

Post by: Andy on May 07, 2013, 08:36:00 pm
Poor show, there's still part of the teeth left...  ;D

Rebuilt mine that did the same, or rather JP Race did, so it's deffo saveable.

Going to look into strengthening the gears by some sort of heat treatment.

On a more positive note I have fitted a thermocouple reader which i picked up off eBay from my fellow yellows for £20:

Measuring oil temp, coolant temp, pre and post intercooler.

Holy mother!!! thats fudged up the ass!! did you select reverse at like 160mph! :P
Title: Re: Videos from Oulton Park Track Day 01-03-13
Post by: Etches on May 07, 2013, 09:55:44 pm
Looks bloody cool that Robin! I assume its spliced into temp senders for oil and coolant , did you use sensors for the intercooler? Interesting work man, whats the switch or in the switch panel ?
Title: Re: Videos from Oulton Park Track Day 01-03-13
Post by: Robin on May 07, 2013, 09:57:50 pm
I am using thermocouples in the 4 locations.

The button on the dash is for the gauge.

If you need them I've got spare bolts for a Gripper (I'd take it apart to clean the plates)

om nom nom

Post by: Robin on May 07, 2013, 10:13:50 pm
Cheers for the offer Yoofy.

I will be sending it off to gripper to have to stripped and rebuilt along with setting the preload - they quoted £80 - 100 to do it.
