November 20-21 Work Weekend

We had a very good work weekend. Claus, Rod, Tony and I poured over the car for a good 6 hours, and many of the Punch List items where completed. A lot of the required items to get the car on the track where completed and we quickly got to to some the secondary list, like the brake dust covers, front sway bar, front strut support, and other nagging items. It is always a good sign when the bumper and hood get put on.

However, we ran into a big problem at the end the day when we dropped the car and started for a test run. The car was running rough and not holding the idle at all. Rod quick determined we lost a cylinder. Oh no, not again!!! It was identified that the the connector to a coil is loose and preventing the spark plug to fire. We have a few options, so it should not be long before get that one back, but man if we keep doing this we should think about running an Audi 5. Nice to find this one now and all in all a good work weekend.

Thank you all for the effort.

  1. D'oh, and I thought I was done with electrical issues. I've packed the car and will come up this evening and try to get you back to 6 cylinders.
