Well done mate. Glad to see alternative fuel being used, Fosters!

[craig]

Well done Jerry! Another type r nearly there!

Looks like I am the last one.....but am sending my ecu off next week so hope to have her started this time next week touch wood (my desk)!!!

I think mine will sound pretty much the same as yours at present as I still have not had a full exhaust made up.

Looking forward to seeing you on track next year

Cheers guys, filled her up with liquids today and trail fitted exhaust as neighbours complained about noise..

The race is on!!!

Good work.

Sounds quite different to mine!

[alackofspeed]

I wonder how much is the camera, and how much is the difference in exhaust (bore, Catalytic converter).

We haven't got the catalyst fitted yet... i think it might be the camera, ours sound like the camera and has that motorbike type of sound..

Well theoretically Craig, or Jerry, but Craig wants to hold out for a spanker plate.... we'll see if he can resist the temptation of registration.

I haven't got any bodywork yet, so I'm out of the running.

[craig]

It won't be me!

I still have so much to do and now that I have missed the summer I am defo waiting for a new reg as it would be a waste to register it on a new plate in the winter and not be able to use it....

[limpabit]

Not use it during Winter? How much fun could you have with it in the snow and learning the handling!

[craig]

John, No roof mate! And probably never getting one unless I can come up with an alternative to them press studs

[alackofspeed]

Well, mine will be put through the registration / sva as soon as it's at a state to do so. The intention is to be able to drive it come rain or sun, and generally hammer it whenever I'm in the mood.

I quite look forward to wet track days, when the on the limit handling will be accessible at more sensible speeds.

Just my way of thinking as well. Spend a lot of money on the car just for Summer. No it is going to be used as often as possible.

Oh I fully intend to rag the shite out of the car to within an inch of it's life and if I could do it in winter I would but after having seen the silver demo and the paint around the press studs (cracks) don't really want to go there
