Fighting with carbon panels as we speak.. This is way more frustrating than even fitting my roof vent or ripping my dash put :(

For me it is:

- sort out knocking rear supsension (today - hopefully)
- throttle coolant feed re-route (next wed)
- gearbox oil change (next wed)
- engine oil change (next wed)
- check brakes (saturday)
- get a fire extinguisher (monday)

Anyone else dreaming of driving around the circuit yet or is it just me :D ?
- suspension - booked for Tuesday (fingers crossed the shocks arrive in time)
- throttle coolant feed re-route DONE
- gearbox oil change DONE (well actually APT did ... thanks a bundle Gary/Chris... brilliant job)
- engine oil DONE (sprry for the mess Dave/Ian/Stu :whistle:)
- check brakes DONE (god love them PF discs and pads :D )

Also fitted new number plates thanks to Stu (the drill is my friend) Staples .... will get some piccies tomorrow but they look awesome :thumb:

To do:
- get a fire extinguisher *will get shortly

Still to do

Gary is working on a fix for my ABS and thinks he traced it to a faulty ABS ecu. Unfortunately he also found that there is enough wiring stuffed behind the dash to wire up all of the instruments about 30 foot from the car :o

Ben (Murano3) has very gallantly stepped in to provide a tester unit to establish whether that is the definite problem, that being the case, I'll need to source one PDQ.

On top of this, I need to get a new lower ball joint for the near side front as soon as possible as it is looser than a wizards sleeve.

Oh well, onwards and upwards :thumb:

ADAC still hasn't turned up but at least my Virtual Cup software and PDA are working (thanks Dunk and Maxi)

Just a warning to everyone that the Nurburgring Officials are wandering around the car park and pulling/banning cars with evidence of video cameras in them amongst other things.
