Cheers Nic for banging in some late night hours on my car last night.

Today Minifilms featured Nic's and my car for there next DVD. They where filming at LLandow, which is only about 4 miles from home, so Nic came to mine last night to stay the night for a easy day today. No doubt turning up expecting a few beers in the lambs arse.

How wrong was he, we left the workshop at the early hours of the monring, as when he turned up, I showed him the list of what I needed todo.

Fix oil leak
Fix water leak
Paint arches
Fit arches
Fit back window
Ally plate on rad to stop rubbing
Trim front end
Set rear camber
Connect live feed alternator behind dash
Check Gear linkage
fit new throttle cable
Setup data logger
Mount GPS antenna
Fix air temp sensor
apply Sheepspeed stickers
reshim Nearside top ball joint
Nut and bolt check
Tyre Pressures
Torque wheel nuts
set Shock settings
Mount catch tank and run pipes
add Anti-freeze
Thread lock mirrors
set Ride hight
fit new sheepspeed plug cover
adjust roll bar
Big clean on car


All the effort was worth it, as today nic and myself had the two quickest cars of the DVD, and apart from boost hoses comming off (both cars) everything went perfect.

Bill Sollis was not taking it easy on the track so it was pretty hard to photo. I have been promised so hi res ones soon.


Cheers Nic

You could have done any one/two of those things in the time it took you to type the list you showed him!!!

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
