Season is over so I think I can end it with a small summary
Firstly, I finally got my first stand alone ECU which opened possibilities to practically unlimited mods to the engine.
And I am very happy with Adaptronic performance and how it worked flawlessly over the season.
Now I hope that engine rebuilds can be forgotten for a while when the ecu is mapped right and I have full safety features for the engine.
Despite good things, there were also bad.
I got my car crashed during one event which you can see in my earlier posts.
There was quite a lot of work, but everything was done
(not perfectly, but it's a race car
) and I could race again.
I had one small auto-x event in which I finished 2nd in my class.
It was quie a fun to come back to auto-x track after some time
Then I started preparing for the biggest time attack event in Lithuania.
Got the car mapped again with bigger injectors and bored fuel rail, did some tweaking on suspension and some other little things.
My objective was to pass the qualifying and I managed it by doing my personal best time.
At the race day I was quite calm knowing that I will not compete for the podium
(much more HP, less weight and trainings is still needed
).
During my first run, I noticed that my clutch is gone and I am happy I reached the pit line.
Got under the car and saw leaking clutch pipe near the cylinder.
I was a bit upset, but I am happy I had some fellows with MR2s as well there and one of them took that pipe of his car and gave for me!
Then had some difficult time bleeding the clutch, but eventually we fixed it and I was ready for my next run.
And managed to set my personal best time again on the last lap, which you can see here

Oh, I almost forgot one thing.
That day I had my firs race
I started from the end of the line with intension
(I was driving slowly in qualifying) as it was my first race and didn't want to fight hard, just wanted to get some experiance.
I was very carefull and of cousre finished at the back.
Also, my oil temp was getting very hot to around 140 degrees celsius.

Because of that, I didn't do a second run of the race.

In conclusion, I was happy with my results and here is how we were going home.
Race car is towing steer car
And finally, here is a really nice video from this event with english comments

Now I am starting to prepare for the next season.
Finally I won't need engine rebuilt and can focus on other things as suspension and aerodynamics.
I have bought an IC for a boot mount
Also, bought HKS TD05 from 2mad
And here is my vision for
a front
A lot of work is waiting during winter time, but hopefully it will pay off and I will be much faster next year.
