Sean was entertaining corp clients (using his VXT rather than an Amex at a lapdancing bar) and invited me along to snag the last place at the last minute. Needn't have worried, the crap weather meant only 50% of people turned up Basically it pissed it down pretty much all day. Usual SELOC manners prevailed and whilst there was much spinnage most of it was of the non body crunching variety, all except for the 996T which smacked the tyrewall (ona sighting lap FFS ) and an MGF which caught fire and dumped a couple of gallons of oil from Paddock to Druids Seriously seriously impressed with Yoko's in the wet, much more predictable and much more grip than OEM - very happy as I assumed they would be a bastard. Standing water still needs balls of steel and an act of God to get through though Bad news was the deluge of water which found its way into my AMM which meant a 4 hour kangaroo kid impression round the M25 with frequent stops on the hard shoulder to keep car going - a thorough Tech2 check is now needed Also meant I was/am so tired I can't make the Audi day at Oulton Park tomorrow so the guys at RS246 are no doubt slagging me off right now - sorry guys In summary. BH in wet - Yokos in wet - VXT with wet AMM - One of Seans clients sticking his mates S211S into the gravel at Druids - BH with flu and 4 drive back - =

Bad news was the deluge of water which found its way into my AMM which meant a 4 hour kangaroo kid impression round the M25 with frequent stops on the hard shoulder to keep car going...

This is exactly what happened to mine in the torrential rain last weekend.

Do you know what causes it John?

Suspect its water getting into the AMM via the PiperX due to piperX intake being so low. Will take it to AmD to investigate today and see what happens. Yours OK now then?

This is probably what caused my problems at Donington last month - misfire and lumpy as hell over 4k revs. Mine cleared and AMD checked it out - couldn't find anything wrong. Point in common - it was lagging down at Donington!! cheers

Yours OK now then?

It cleared itself almost as soon as the rain stopped.

My Viper's inlet is as high as it can be, so we may have to accept that it's a TADTS.

I probably shouldn't be nailing it in torrential rain anyway...probably.

Washed my car the other day and used a pressure washer to start with, think i spent to much time with it in the air vents. Mine was like it for about two or three miles after and then it cleared. Was a bit worried at first considering all the trouble ive had with it.
