Collecting the Zeus

[jeffw]

I meant to ask Jeff, as the cars at yours, does that mean you are running yourself or are the builders running you?

I need to be able to run it myself for club events. Geoff Page Racing and Mussett Racing are supporting the British Sprint Championship rounds once we have the ROPS situation sorted. This is a showcase for the engine so they are very keen to see it do well.

We are already discussing the large crank engine with different piston design which should see 750-800 on 118 Octane fuel and 680 or so on 98 Octane. There is also talk of a development chassis as well.

Interesting Jeff keep the thread up to date with progress

Testing at Byton Mon/Tue this coming week. If anyone if in the area they are welcome to drop in and have a look.

have you managed to get all your video gear mounted yet Jeff? if so looking forward to some footage, and....good luck.

[jeffw]

Not yet, will try today although I can't break into the Canbus currently so there will only be GPS/Gyro info currently.

Did something on my own with the Zeus today, changed the battery and re-setup the Motec Dash. Might sound trivial but it is the first time I've worked on the car, the loom is a full motorsport one and is a bit scary. I need to tap into the Canbus but I don't want to mess the loom up so will have to get DC Electronics to do it.

Good testing next week Jeff. I hope the weather is kind

[jeffw]

Got to Blyton yesterday to find todays event was cancelled because of the weather. Tuesday event was going ahead however.

What do I do in the spare day I have? yeap go to Blyton to see how bad it is. Of course in the process of this it required some walking on ice...which I did with elegance of a young deer and snapped my right foot back while I fell on my bum.

I've just got back from my hexed trip which hardly any movement in my right ankle, inability to stand and a new found skill in left foot braking. I decided running the Zeus tomorrow in single figure temperatures
which not being able to walk wasn't very sensible at all.

Oh dear Jeff, I hope it isn’t too serious, get it checked out asap. If you need a lift to A&E or anywhere give me a shout.

Sorry to hear that, hope your ankle is better soon.
