Yes Phil, tomorrow.

Yes Phil, a race.
Majorly pissed off. Transponder I bought was advertised as a MyLaps one with loads of cable, some dirty old TranX one turns up with less 20cm of cable left. f**king Bookatrack.

Robbin B'tards.
Dude said he was selling four at the time and his workshop boys have posted the wrong one, though there's another one on eBay now with the same picture again...
Ah well, he knocked £40 off so a working transponder for under £200 is even more of a bargain. Just need to extend the cable which is easy and won't cost a lot to do.

Another bit of an update, got the car back onto four wheels with the suspension all fitted. Camber bolts fitted and set to the max they can do, they looked to of given me near the same as it had previous on coilovers which is a bonus.
Did plan to remove the front part of the cage and take the dash off so I could hide the seat wiring and sort the location of holes for the fire extinguisher/cut of switch wiring, however the weather pissed me off so just left it for the time being... I may well just pay someone to fit the other safety bits and pieces for ease as works got me occupied throughout the week now so no days off, but bonus is extra pennies towards getting everything else sorted!
Time is getting less and less by the day with more little things that need purchasing, will I actually be ready? I really am unsure now...

Got plenty of time until the 20th October - lightweight. Get a move on!
You only need to take dash top off to drill a hole for fire ex pipe and feed it up and across from the exhaust tunnel to the hole.

Lol!
That time goes quickly Pete! I'll need to of done my ARDS in a couple of weeks and then sign on for the race, if I leave it too late there may not be any spaces left! Likewise I don't want to pay and not make it through time and money.
We'll see, if anyone knows how to wire and fit the cut-off switches and remove the steering lock that localish give me a shout and i'll sort you out!
Nick
You can do the steering lock in 10 mins flat - any longer or can't do it - girl?
Once out just cut the thin metal "wasted part" to remove the locking de-tent.
Bit of a guide here....

Nick, stop being a girl.
Try getting up in the mornings on your days off? I told you weeks ago to get ARDS booked.
Or is this going to end like past projects ?

Right medical booked for the 19th, looking at ARDs locations I was planning on doing Brands Hatch or Silverstone. However Silverstone don't have anything on apart from tomorrow and Brands until the 15th of October, 5 days before the race. Which means I'll be booking the Donnington race before probably even having the licence, if I can even do that?

Loughborough? That's bloody miles away! I've got a window of time to do it, from the 20th of this month to the 29th. Then the 10th of October to 20th, all because of a bloody works training course!
Now that would be perfect, 20 minutes away from me! Ill send you my number Fred if that's alright, let me know if you find out anymore.

Lol, wait until you get in the car on a hot day.
I'm dreading it already, as well as being properly excited all at the same time!
Looking dappa mate
Be honest, you wore that all day didn't you
Alright alright! I've been dancing around the house for weeks in it!
Looking dappa mate
Lol, cheers, I guess?
Climate control? Think of the extra ponies lost!
Nope, not a requirement in MSA for next year as yet. So would rather get as much use with the gear I have before having to upgrade, as its a reasonable expense!
Nice selfie lol.
It'll be years before they force you to have a HANS device.
They have been talking about forcing FIA in date seats for rally cars since 2007 and have only just anounced it is compulsory for 2014. So seeing as they aren't even talkig about it yet I reckon you have a few years.
