not really I know if I bring them I'll spend all day setting up everyones car, and there not my scales, don't want them to get fucked or nicked

Team Racing

Good call Jim,
More to be worrying about than your weight.

My mini would win the 'porker' award anyway!
The carpets, recaros and stereo are staying in once again this year, but i'll leave the trolley jack out of the boot...

Im going to try get mine on the weigh bridge at some point at work. Be interesting to see just how much it weighs then how much i can make it loose!

good luck jimbo, writing to you from a sunburnt tenerife or how ever its spelt

burnt my feet and head, lots of hotties on the loose though!

ooh strange buttons..?`????'
caps lock in spanish is bloq mayus

Team Racing

Really coming on well now, Jim! Looking great :)

Do you think it'll be ready for Avon?

Are you painting it yourself?

it should be ready for avon, but it will not be painted. I'm not a painter, but I did prep all the inside, and parts of the outside, I've just run out of time now, so I had to cancel the body shop

Team Racing

haha, that is going to be so good
what sort of power will you get, any guesses on times?

same engine as last year, around 160 bhp at 14psi, but engine is good for 18 ish so don't know exactly, hope to be in 14's, but car is light and could win, I just need to learn to drive

Team Racing

Excellent

nice jim! ill give it a run for you up the strip if you want, but bear in mind ive never don it before so dont expect miracles!!

is that the challenge gearbox?

its looking good, im jealous and want mine working

nic, are you back from your hols yet??? If I can get this ready for the weekend, then you have no excuses!!! Yes it is the Challenge box, only hope it helps me off the line

Team Racing

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

Team Racing

are you running the electrical fan alone or as backup to the mechanical one?

'I swear to use the Boost, The whole Boost'
'And nothing but the Boost..... So help me God'

it's a backup fan controlled by the ecu, the std fan is in place also
