Keyser Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 As it happened P.S Sorry for the poor camera work - I'll get Haydn to drive slower next time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 well I thought the green frog was shifting... you closed up a bit on the tighter corners, but on the long straights Haydn was flying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Nice vid, has the "mean green machine" got a bike engine still. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) The camera doesn't show it well I swear it looks closer when you are in the car We swapped places as (we were having fun) The frogster is quicker round the bends but nothing in it on the straights. I will say Haydns brakes are bloomin good Still we will try and get some better film next time If you watch closely and listen on the second bend that is the first right hander I take following you can here the engine cut, we still don't know what caused it happened a few times during the day. The tank seems to have a sump so it should not be fuel surge but may be - interesting one though. Any thoughts anyone? EDIT : Does it on the next right as well - its not me sliding the slide is because the engine cuts.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Uncle Keyser... so snail-ish Slooooooooooooooooooow coach! ; Good skills, Haydn! Edited August 28, 2014 by octet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Great video. Love Bedford...you can push it hard as there is so much run off. What speeds were you doing on the long straight? Think my max in the 50 was 135-140ish before some hard braking for the chicane. Edited August 28, 2014 by 370Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the same, I was looking at the boards though for my braking point so not exactly sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 @ Octet - @ 370Ad - Managed 136 with 2 in the frogster and 140 with just me (which is still a heavy load) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Only other thing re cut-out I could think of is mounting angle of carbs (assuming it has carbs) - given that the engine is not in it's original application? My first thought was baffles in tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 HaydnH's car sounded lovely Think I was out in the RX-8 at the same time as Haydn at one point, made for a good comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought was baffles in tank. Good point - engine is now mounted North South as opposed to original which would be East West so a possibility - apparently it does not have a tip over sensor but the later models do. Only happens on right hand bends and not all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Looks like you had a great time! Will keep my eyes open for the next Bedford dates as it looks like a good place for a total novice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Great video to watch Keyser and was very funny watching Haydn's Zed get smaller & smaller as he pulled away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yep great place for a novice, nice long track so the cars are spread out and plenty of run off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only happens on right hand bends and not all the time. That would probably make sense then. I can only think of one other fuelling issue but I have no idea whether this applies to bike engines in cars. On Webers DCOE you would get fuel frothing if they were mounted on the manifold too tightly - you had to have quite a bit of movement in them. If they were too tight the fuel would froth up and you could therefore end up momentarily with nothing but air ....but that would result from the excessive vibration rather than angle of dangle.

Gudzy Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Looks like you had a great time! Will keep my eyes open for the next Bedford dates as it looks like a good place for a total novice! Blyton is more local for you Paddy and quite safe, brillo has just put up a date in September that the beemer crew are going to at Blyton. I had a day booked at the start of August at Blyton but it was cancelled so I need to book another day there soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I had seen that, but I'm in Norfolk from 21st! Will have to jump on one early next year as Oct-Mar might not be too good weather wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
