2007.08.10 - kupplung schaden :(

In short - put aggresive chip inside moronic, went to race track, ruined clutch. It seems that clutch plate or pressure plate leaf spring gave up. Pedal is soft, max speed is ~130kmph, engine happily revving at higher speeds, and the speed is not rising. Back in to the garage for a looong time (no planned funds for the new clutch and pressure plate). Will pull engine and box someday. Maybe in autumn? Silence starts...

Searching for the boost leak

Due to low boost (1.3 bar instead of 1.5) searched for the boost leak. Spent half of the day trying to pump up the system, however it was not possible with one pump. The air was escaping faster than I was able to pump. So I've tightened the clamps again and went to some drive :) :

Also during the drive (not in video), tried to run sharper in one usual corner - massive understeer at low speed :(. Bad wheel alignment is serious for handling. Will try to align front myself. Will see what that will bring ;).
