Waiting for a braided hose to arrive to replace a rubber one which is suffering

Oil and water to do once i have put the rad back in, as i have removed the thermostat to aid cooling.

Cambelt covers removed so i can play with cam timing a bit, and sort my missing power out!

Other than that, its ready

After 20 hours of cutting, prepping, fibreglassing, and filling in two days, now we need to get the lacquer to be rubbed down, new graphics to fit, new wheels and tyres to fit, new suspension settings to implement, overspray to remove..............

All for Bladeys drift practice and qualifying on Friday and event on Sunday.

Best of luck guys. To one and all :notworthy:

Apparently we do this for fun!!!

When does the fun start

Just had a thought a lot of us are now videoing these events plus regular track days, sprints etc. How about if at the end of the year we put a compilation of footage together.
