Sundbygård
The last one being Nyköping car meet also Wednesdays approximately 100km south of Stockholm.
Nyköping 2013
Everything went well on the way down but on the way out of the meet it started coughing and spluttering and finally smoke poured out of the engine compartment and there was a very strong smell of petrol. To cut a long story short the fuel pipe into the inlet manifold had come off and was spraying fuel over the underside of the bonnet and therefore over the whole engine. Taking the bonnet off the engine was wet with fuel. Why it didn't just burst into flames was probably because the engine was warm from travelling only a kilometer or so. Any hotter and it could have ended in disaster. Easy to tighten up the clamp on the pipe but unfortunately the banjo connector moved and began to leak. Found some new washers at Kaarlo's mums house so the day and the car were saved.
All fixed but a close shave!
Getting ready for the trip to UK so it was good the fuel pipe came off now and not on the way. I have booked Peter at GKD to do a few engine mods, remove MAF, Begi and change injectors, so tuning will be much easier. Also booked TDI tuning to do both tuning and suspension geometry. Decided not to do a drifting course. If there is time for a track day that will be enough.
Two new Yokohama Advan Sport V105 ready to go on, now I'll have them all round.
Neil, Kevin and I will be at Silverstone the weekend of 12th July as there is the Formula Student 2015 which Neils son Magnus and Lund University will be participating in. See you at the camp site or in the bar!
