Some pics from Friday................
Tony on a mission..........
Me on my own, late in the evening, is the front wheel off the ground?
Tony about to eat an R26R, Powey's mate on board I think
and yet more pics of the car spinning with me in the passenger seat (need to get duel controls fitted
)

YES
Fair enough, either way it certainly does not stop you from having fun tracking it.
You and the car have come on in leaps and bounds from when this project first started. Its a real credit to you imo.
And the website www.Burpseed.com is a very good read.

Credit where credit is due chief.

Small update,
A few days ago whilst on the motorway I could hear a rear wheel bearing rumbling. It must of been well past it as I could hear it over the road noise and the delightful tones of Breaking Benjamin.
They are about 5k old but have had a hard life on track. Rather than leave them till the wheel falls off I decided to get it done and rather than just replace the one I chucked a pair at it. Took the discs off and popped intoa mates garage to borrow his press.
Ive repaced a few of these before and these were the most stubborn ive come accross. 9,000psi on the press before they started to move. New circlips and they were all done. Got to put them back on before Saturday (Karting meet)
Overall the car is looking a little sorry for itself at the moment. Quite afew bits missing, for various reasons. Its still driveable, for now

Hate this car now, spent 2.5 hours in it on the way to karting on the weekend, got there quite pissed off as the sat nav took me over every speed bump inside the M25.
Noisy, bumpy, hot, uncomfortable s**t.
The journey home wasnt any better. Its fine for short trips but really fed up of spening hours in it. Been doing quite a few miles recently.
Got to this milestone
This thread is dieing a slow death

I know this feeling all too well
I've got a new job "in the city"...Commuting a 38 mile round trip daily, sat in traffic around 1hr.... hot, uncomfortable, noisy, and all round rough stopping and starting every meter
and the f**king work car park has a 50" speed bump*

CD player and 2 speekers in it (on 20 all the time so it can be heard)
Im not losing motivation for anything. Just need a 'road car'
