James HPE Motorsport Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 RIP xflow!!! Always make sure your oil is topped up to the max on trackdays!!! Oil surge round paddock
bozie Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Posted November 13, 2007 The problem started when my oil light com on so i checked the oil all good. but i dont have many clocks so when i lost oil pressure i didnt no and kept going. oops
Toby Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 The problem started when my oil light com on so i checked the oil all good. but i dont have many clocks so when i lost oil pressure i didnt no and kept going.oops Real shame mate It wont help knowing this now but I have fitted an oil light that comes on at a higher low pressure, I think around 35 psi, if I see that I let off! I personally think a light is better than a gauge in as much as you're more likely to notice it instantly when concentrating on the track. Oh well you'll just have to make it faster now!
Fiesta Steve Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 I know exactly how you feel bud R.I.P Crossflow
