100% agree, get a diff. Not sure which ones will handle your power and torque though, maybe something to check. I think the 3J isn't rated for very much.

I'm not going out on track again until the next batch of improvements are done. When they are, we should definitely do a trackday together Smile

Small update, Cadwell has been and gone and i'm well impressed with the Nankang AR-1's.
Coolant and oil were a little warmer than i'd have hoped for but seemed stable and it was quite a warm day.

Here are some of the videos:

Yeah, I ran an ATB for a long time and it was a vast improvement over an open diff, a plate diff is better in that you can feel it pull you around the corner but they can be a bit sketchy too. I never really 'felt' my atb working but noticed how much faster I was cornering.

I've been in touch with 3J and they reckon the diff for the BE3 box will handle 350bhp no worries, i'm nowhere near that so that's what i'll probably go for when i get round to buying one.

Just been preparing the car for the trip to the nurburgring, i've bonded some kevlar over the aluminium strips that strengthen the bonnet, one of them came off at Cadwell so this should help hold them in place and provide significantly more strength again. First time trying to work with kevlar, trickier than it looks! LOL

Also, it looks like my catch tank is somewhat doing it's job, this is all from one trackday which i'm not too sure is ideal, how much do other peoples catch?

IMG_7434 by Steve Count, on Flickr

The oil was getting to ~120c, i got through ~100 litres of fuel at the track so i'm guessing i did somewhere between 100-150 miles.

at cadwell with yourself i racked up a total of 147 track miles about 67 laps using 40 ltrs of fuel 16.7MPG

if you used 100 ltrs for the same milage that would take you lower than 8MPG lol Big grin good effort

Car certainly looks like it was going well from the vids though

Yeah I was hoping someone in the know would have chipped in to give us an idea. I emptied the catch tank the other day and the oil in it was very runny, and smelled almost like petrol, a little concerned about that but the wideband lambda doesnt show it as running excessively rich so im assuming its just because it's oil that has been vapourised to make it like it is.
Not much i can do about it now anyway, off to the 'ring on friday Big grin

Tonight i've replaced the track rod pinch bolts with some 12.9 fine pitch cap screws, one had somehow loosened itself despite having a nyloc on it causing some knocking and also throwing the tracking out all over the place, i've re-set it to parallel again now. A quick test drive later and it all feels good.

Took the car to the Nurburgring last weekend. Here's a few pictures from the weekend.

The weather was pretty awful most of the weekend, i didn't even bother trying to get any laps in during the rain as standing water and semi slicks don't tend to mix too well, especially on the nordschleife!

Due to the crap weather i only managed 6 or 7 laps over 2.5 days, the track closed on monday evening at 7, which meant they stop letting us on at around 6:45. Due to the rain earlier in the day there had been a few crashes (over four cars i noticed on the previous lap to them closing it), this was around 4-5ish when they closed it. The rain was holding off and i held out in the car park waiting for the potential track opening for one or two final laps before setting off home.
The car parks were starting to clear up as more and more people gave up and headed off home.
Eventually at around 6:35 there was movement in the car park so i got on the track as quickly as i could with the intention of going for a new personal best. Here's what happened:
Clicky

It's a shame as it could have been a pretty decent lap time and it cancelled my plans of heading on for a second lap straight after.
After that i dropped my mate off in the car park and limped back to the apartment to start fixing the car. I had a spare charger on me, and a belt. Upon inspection it seemed that two of the long m10 bolts clamping the 'charger bracket to the engine mount have sheared, allowing the bracket to pivot round on the other two bolts, which caused the pulley damper setup to rub on the chassis leg destroying them. I didn't have these as spares so i simply removed the 'charger and ran a shorter aux belt to just run the alternator, and put the air filter directly onto the throttle body on the inlet manifold whilst taping up all the boost pipework to stop anything getting in.
The car made it all the way back like this, fueling is fine provided it's not under a lot of load.

Now i'm in the process of designing and making the replacement parts, some bits will be re designed to make the setup stronger and hopefully more reliable, ready to go back and have another stab at the 'ring again next year.

.......forget the helmet. Did you not see the spoiler!?...and matt paint. To be honest he probably has so much downforce he doesnt need a seatbelt either.

Bad luck on the charger but I'm sure you can make the mount stronger in V2.

I have loads of luck, it's just all bad luck Laugh

I was talking to the owner of the other 306, he was a nice bloke from Germany who has another 306 which is his race car but that blew its engine so he brought that one along for the day.

I spoke to my boss earlier about getting my car parts sorted, he gave me the go-ahead to make the replacement parts so i've ordered the relevant aluminium to make a start on revision 2.0 and ordered new high tensile capscrews.
Hopefully i'll get most of the machining done in the next couple of weeks as theres a trackday i've got my eye on in november. Smile

It's the 19th at Brands Hatch, i've not been there yet and have a couple of mates going so thought i'd give it a try, assuming i can get the car sorted in time.
All this track action is prolonging the time it's taking to save for a diff though Laugh
