TNTRacing - XRCosworth
with my finger 80% healed it was time to jump back on the car to get some work done on it as its 5 weeks since i did anything on a car and its been pissing me off:D
changed the front studs for longer ones so could get the new wheels on the car with 7mm spacers fitted other wise wheels caught on the calapers.
while i was doing that paul got the tires fitted to the alloys.
paul is quite annoyed that im back working on the car as i make quite a mess, he has enjoyed the last 5weeks with a tidy house.
back on form:D

V8 supercars the greatest show on wheels
The car eating Alan's finger hasn't helped either, think it contained the fat gene
:smilielol5:
Took the car for a very short drive today, mainly to check a few things over. Mainly the cooling system following the rad change. Took it down a private road so that i could boost it, bearing in mind this is the first time i've boosted it at it's current output. All seems fine at the moment with NO signs of any brown sludge or colour in the water, well happy.
The only thing that broke was me:blush5:. Some how I manged to bite my tongue and I also need to work on my gear changes. As everytime I changed gear when on boost the seat belt would lock and cut into my neck.
