Thanks Bob,
It takes a lot of time and effort (and money) to make a new car to perform
to your likes.
I'm sure the TR6 will make you happy sooner or later.
Marcel.

Marcel,

It sure looks good! I'm sorry that you had problems. I know you were on your
way to a good finish, and you haven't had much time to get used to a
different car. Best of luck.

&nbsp;Bob,<br class=3D"">&gt; I had a weird ignition problem. I don't =
know exactly what happened but <br class=3D"">&gt; it seems that =
cylinder #3 got an earlier ignition timing than the <br class=3D"">&gt; =
other cylinders,hence heavy detonation, with a holed piston as a <br =
class=3D"">&gt; consequence. The maximum total advance was already about =
at the border <br class=3D"">&gt; with 34=C2=B0 but the other pistons do =
not show any detonation damage. When <br class=3D"">&gt; the engine is =
complete again, I'll try to find the culprit exactly. <br class=3D"">&gt; =
Only in the first two laps, the engine went about normal, but it was <br =
class=3D"">&gt; misfiring already but road holding and especially the =
brakes were <br class=3D"">&gt; great. I started at 12th position on the =
grid and after the timed <br class=3D"">&gt; practice, I changed the =
anti roll bar balance, brake bias and rear <br class=3D"">&gt; axle =
ratio. After 2 laps, I was in fourth position but then the power <br =
class=3D"">&gt; faded and it ended in a cloud of black smoke. Hopefully =
I can show the <br class=3D"">&gt; potential of the car at the Zandvoort =
circuit on May the 2nd-3rd. I <br class=3D"">&gt; will post an onboard =
video if I can finish a race there. I will all do<br class=3D"">what I =
can to make you regret you sold your car! :-).<br class=3D"">&gt; =
