@CheshireEast you might want to repair that drain cover before someone drives into it! 🙈

Oops. I'll try again later and see if the link works then 🙈

@BenjiBonfield He thinks the gdu seized which chucked it off the road. Very sad to see it take such a big hit. Rich is very sensible to have a 10s delay on his streams. These are not low speed impacts.

Poor Will made the thumbnail on the Best of video from St Gueno at the weekend. Horrific seeing it happen live. There is no where to hide when someone is streaming it 🙈

Filled up yesterday, while the price has dropped. Still eye watering.
It'll soon rise again I reckon.

@MattTakeThree I like the way Matt nonchalantly says "this car cost me just under the million". YouTubers get disproportionate amounts of income to everyone else. It's bonkers.

The forge FMIC has reduced the charge temperature by 30C even on a warmer day than the OEM test. That's approx 9% increase in horsepower which is good 👍

Surely it's now at a CRISIS point. Why doesn't anyone in the @TheHSAuk recognise that? Six cars finished Sunday and the last three out the six were a combined 82 seconds slower than the winner.
We've tried and tried to have our voices heard. It's beyond broken.

Dropping like flies they are at Pembrey, and Ethan continues his record breaking walk over.

@laurencemarks64 Nice 🙂

@TheEvEngineer @MattTakeThree VW Transporter 2.0 140bhp, to keep things cool when she's towing the big trailer.

[Graham Blackwell @zetecinsidecom]

It's on. It's been a bastard of a ten minute job so far. The fitting instructions never really cover off what's really involved. Shiny though #forgemotorsport #t51

@MattTakeThree @TheEvEngineer It was hot yesterday with no shade. After the ice cream van came round and I indulged I felt motivated to carry on 👍

[Graham Blackwell @zetecinsidecom]

@MattTakeThree @TheEvEngineer A forum. I remember those days 😂

[Graham Blackwell @zetecinsidecom]

@MattTakeThree I learnt a lot of shortcuts if I have to do it again. My hands are cut and bruised today. Changing the hoses added a whole layer of effort but the originals were 14 years old so it was time.

I put it all back together and drove a quick test drive. She still produces 20psi boost so no leaks. Next job is to get it remapped.

Both rear wheel speed sensors have been swapped this afternoon for replacements. Road test now to see if it's cured the abs error.
Huge ventilated disks on the T32 and the wheels must be 30kg each! Robust 🙈

I had an email from @CheshireEast yesterday morning saying the drain cover (on the right) had been repaired. 3hrs earlier it was under a puddle of water from the rain shower in the morning. I'll be surprised if it's looking any different when I next drive past it.

100,000,000 CPU seconds passed this week since the start of the year. That's 27,777 hours processing stuff. Last year they only realised 66 Million Seconds.
Small numbers but big milestones for the platform.
