Sweet. Looking forward to seeing this in action. Looks like Wednesday is going to be busy!

Can't wait :-D hopefully i won't be understeering and spinning too much, in total i've only done 2 miles of testing and zero drifting in the car so far :oops:

Ran into a problem plumbing in the hydro as well, the braided line kit i got with the handbrake has got all the wrong fittings DOH
So i'll have to go the old fashined route and flair some copper pipe instead.

Mid rear will make for a challenging drive but sure you will be up to it. Any chance of a pax seat installed for wednesday? Be interesting to watch you at work.

Plumbed in the hydro.

and went to a local airfeild today to test the car out, well it seems reliable which is a bonus.... woohoooo..
It isn't as hard to drift as i thought it would be, but by far still the most unforgiving car i've ever drifted lol (makes it interesting).
Also the hydro isn't locking the rears up :x so will have to search out some better discs and pads, if that doesn't work it'll need a bigger master cylinder.

Must say the little car really surprised me today, it really flies and sounds great, although i've now noticed the exhaust manifold has a small crack, but have already found a nice tubular mild steel jobbie to replace it 8)

You are very welcome Paul.

It does look good in action. Sounds good too. I notice you cut out the parts of the vid where you spin lol.

By the smile on your face every time you came off the track, I am guessing you enjoyed it

:D
