Tjena,
En uppdatering, dock på engelska då jag är för trött just nu att skriva om den på svenska. Men det ska väl inte vara några problem med engelska här inne!? :)
Hey guys!
I'm now back in Lao after a few weeks with the car, during this time I drove about 2500km and thought I'd give you an update.
Like I have said from the start when I picked the car up, there are still some work to be done so see this update as a "work in progress".
Goal from start was 6-800hp: At the moment we are running about 550hp and 600Nm, but the CIVINCO PB will be properly tuned during the winter now. At the moment we are running the fuel rich on purpose and there are also some other things that will be fixed for next year. We anticipate 600hp without problems for next season! Nm? No idea, but with the 600Nm in the car now, it moves! Fast!
Problems to solve?
- ESP goes into "safe mode" when accelerating "softly" from around 2000rpm. All this does is that the throttle don't respond on fast accelerating, but you can still keep the speed and drive. Solution? All I need to do is stop the car, turn off the ignition and start the car again. So not a major problem, just a very annoying one that hopefully can be solved.
- A crack in the air tube going from the SC. The pressure is just to much, so need to make a new tube in stronger material. Overall I can say that the air pressure is A LOT bigger than anticipated!
And that my friends are it, so only this to work on for next season. :)
One sad and extremely annoying thing is that on one of my last nights home, I had some scumbag breaking my fuel lid and fuel cap, and thereby causing damage to the new, 10 000$, paintwork. It's just small damages, but since the paint is such a special one, the whole side of the car have to be repainted to mitigate against any color difference on the side. And a new fuel lid and cap of course. Thank god for good insurance! Absolutely no problems at all from my insurance company when I called them!
