Awesome videos. You must be well pleased with the performance increase of the new engine. Sounds great out there.

ohhhhh yeaaaaa

cant say how good it felt to whip through the gears with purpose!

thinking needs stiffer springs on the back at least for track stuff

or ballast/co-driver to keep that side down!

avenga

Yeah I run really hard springs in the back of my race car.

You could borrow my rear springs if you want. They would probably be too hard for road use. The only problem I had was finding short enough shocks. I ended up using shock towers in the boot.

track fun is addictive - may buy ya springs when you no longer need them

Taupo on the 19th Aug is next outign and I already know it like to lift coming onto the front straight

anit-clockwise/left hand circuits are not my friend currently lol

avenga

My suspension setup used to work great at Taupo.

I will let you know what I decide on my springs.

I don't know if I will sell them because they are so hard to find. If anything it will be a loan like the Dellortos.

what you mean proper LOL

bit of panel and paint 1st, then it will look as good as it runs!

avenga

haha, just winding you up :)

The car is coming along very nicely. It has came a long way from the 35KW weakling it used to be. Now all it needs is the looks to match the engine :)

Epic man. Those are kick ass results.

Look at how close you were to that lotus 7 in the morning session. Those are seriously quick cars so to be within a hair's breadth of them is pretty epic indeed.

I reakon you could have thrashed them if you had a little less drifting with the elbow out the window action going on.  :P
