Sorry another track bike build

I've never bothered when changing coolant but any car parts place sell it. Or just use the water that comes out of your dryer.

 

Clothes dryer, blow dryer, hair drier, washing up drier????

 

Clothes dryer! What hair dryer do you know that uses water lol

 

I'm bored so I googled it and your right. Tap water can be corrosive to the engine due to the minerals and ions. So I'd best get some distilled water seeing as I ain't putting in any anti freeze


Add that to the list!

 

I've got Perrier Water in mine don't ya knarrs!

 

Any updates mate??

Did you manage to get your numbers changed and have you received your race pack from Nolimits yet??

 

No never got a response from the ones I got off eBay! Stuck them on my toolbox now. There's someone on TDR who does them so I've emailed him.

I did get an email from no limits with all the ACU forms and times to get to the track etc.

 

Bastards, i know they were only cheap but thats not the point, i also sent that guy on TDR an email but never heard back...

Have they told you have the ACU day will be run? Are you allocated a garage ect ect...

 

Mallory is a bit of a shit hole with only a few garages/sheds. I'm not fussed about getting a garage there. I'll PM you the email I got from NL.

 

Just on the subject of changing the coolant for distilled water, is there any chance of getting air locks?? If so does it matter??

 

there is and it does,but dead easy to make sure you dont.

drain coolant,fill up rad till upto top.leave cap off and run bike till thermostat opens,some water might spill over as it runs (you'''ll see the water drop quite quickly when the thermostat opens.)then just top up till full and run for a minute or so,then turn off,put cap on.job done.

 

Thanks scooby, sounds simple enough..

 

I found a big 25L tub of distilled water in the workshop the other day! Not many car batteries need topping up these days.

 

Ready to go James?

 

Nope not yet I've just ordered a chain and -1F and +1R,+2R sprockets today. Then I could do with some rearsets but not essential just yet. I'm leaving the Bridgestone S20's on for Mallory then I'll need to get some Metzeler's fitted. I need to fit my shark fin on the swing arm aswell.

 

When's your first race then?

 

If I get my license at Mallory 14th February it'll be 21st March at Snetterton for the first race!

 

License will be a formality James......roll on 21st March!

 

Yes can't wait!! But I need to get as much track time at Snetterton as possible so going there on the 14th March then 19th-22nd
