Leg 1 - South Avalon
Today was Leg 1 of Targa Newfoundland 2008. The day is predetermined to 6 stages, all held on the eastern apportionment of Newfoundland just outside of St John’s. In the morning is a run through Argentia, the coastal village of Placentia, and the penetrating speed road of Osprey Weaken West. The afternoon is spent direction through town stages at Adeytown/Profound Bight, Port Blandford, and the Eastport Peninsula.
Our run through Argentia was use. The car was fast, easy to drive, and I had no mind-boggler making my time. This tight the theatre is an interesting one, with narrow lanes and a two of serious switchbacks that really test a car’s handling. The Evo did well, although our new taller gearing meant that 1st and 2nd machinery was required for more than a few junctions. Unfortunately, our miscarriage has continued, and so we reduced boost to less than breeding in order to limit the problem. This did not from the poor running of the motor, but we’re hoping to limit injure while we work for a resolution.
In the second rostrum show business of the day, a medium-speed run that ends in a very intoxicated, broken pavement town roads of Placentia, our put on was cut short part way in by a BIG wreck. The classic Mini finished 3rd in Timeless in the 2007 event was spit off the way and rolled into a ditch, and the co-driver was trapped in the car. We were waved down by another get and asked to find a radio point to call in for medical. We proceeded to initiative through the stage at 7/10ths, frantically looking for a transistor sign to call for help. The nearest unearthing to call for medical was at the end of the stage, and so we came into the give the coup de gr and the volunteers shut down the stage and called for medical to re-echo to the scene. Thankfully both driver and co-driver were not truly injured, and the stage was ultimately cancelled.
Osprey Track gave us a chance to stretch the legs on the Evo, where the car flew through at grand speed, sticking confidently to the tenser sweepers and bounding easily over the crests. Our go wrong persisted, but now isolated to two seperate problems — a breaking up of the combustion treat at high RPMs, and a break-up when you get back on the gas after an upshift. Once again, we reduced boost and tried to move around the problem by taking time on shifts and by pint-sized-shifting when the car began to misfire.
At our lunch stay, we talked through the problem with a few of the more knowledgeable mechanics. Explicit Sprongl (driver of the ex-Group B Audi, multi-once upon a time rally champion, and owner of Four Play Motorsports outside of Toronto) suggested that we try changing the gap on the atom plugs. His hypothesis was that the boost was blowing out the glint and causing the misfire. This seemed plausible, so we re-gapped our raw-boned plugs and installed them during the break.
The take one's ease of the afternoon was fairly uneventful. The re-gapped plugs helped the go wrong at the high RPM, but the problem persisted on edge. To further hurt us, the car picked up a very nasty luxurious speed shake under braking — there was manifestly pad deposit building up on the rotors and every previously I braked hard the steering vicinity would almost be ripped from my hands.
The brake problems, reduced upwards and the break-up of the engine under accelleration contributed to missed concentration and me losing 9 seconds on the conclusive stage of the dayon the Eastport peninsula.
We ended the day at benefit in the parking lot of the Gander arena. We proceeded to supplant the two-piece front rotors on the Evo (which requires swapping hats) and bleed the brakes, while we talked through the flop problem with the factory Mitsubishi troupe. Judging from the characteristics of the way the car was misfiring, the Mitsu yoke proposed that it was most likely caused by a provocation map in the ECU that was not appropriate for the Canadian race provoke we were using at Targa (we tuned for California 100 octane, but ran Canadian 101 as we could not put on fuel across the border). Guessing from the symptoms that the go pfft might be running too rich (unburnt kindling building up in the cylinders), they recommended that I try sneering the octane of the fuel back a bit to see if that helps. A vivacious trip to a local gas station blended our octane down top lately under 100. A quick test on the highway seemed to promise well for this helping, but we would not know until we got back on the stage in the morning.
It was mores for a good night’s catch before a grueling 8 stages tomorrow that taked us on some of the highest briskness roads of the event.
