Beau Yates - Toyota 86 Monster Build

[Matt]

Nah, not sure, but the car got put back together real quick..

[Matt]

I wonder what he is up to now...

[AJPS]

I wonder why

[Mirko]

Didn't he weld up rear wheel wells so
Smoke stopped coming in cabin

[ae8zn6]

Yup, he was having trouble seeing out the windscreen because the cabin was too smokey so he has welded up the wheel wells in an effort to stop as much getting in

[Matt]

I look forward to the day where I have this problem

Bit of old news, but Beau was running with no timing belt covers and it appears a bit of rubber has flicked up and got in between the belt and the gears causing it to jump. Being interference the head will have to come off and valves repaired unfortunately.



Its a bit of bad luck , but I'm sure the guys from JHH racing have seen this before and will have it back on the track in no time.



I'm sure Mitch and the boys at Hypertune will design a cover to prevent this from happening again.

Car is all back together and competing this weekend in ADGP in Adelaide



Damn it looks hot with the vinyl wrap...

[Matt]

So another year , different wrap and different sponsors.

Here are some of the shots from WTAC, where it ended badly with some heavy damage to the rear drivers wheel.
