No, just had to wait for a replacement man to arrive.

We'd just started using these round wheels, strange at first, didn't think they would catch on.

182cup & 172 racecar
Neither, bundled up slaves, (softer ride).
Haven't really done a lot to the car for ages after missing the last race of this year, but my brother said he'd still like to get a couple of pictures of the car as it is...
Cheers

Looking good mate, you got your first race sorted for next year ?
Looking good mate, like what you have done with the brake cooling. are you going to leave it open? does it have deflector plates in (is that allowed in production regs?).

Looks great sweetcheeks! I don't expect it to be as 'ding free' this time next year.

I think we ruled out ducting, but have to wait and see.
Cheers Mark!
Yeah yeah, no mega rush now. Don't think ill bother doing any testing this year now, more start saving the pennies for next year.
You need to decide what you're doing with yours!
Cheers Adam. There's a couple of provisional races in the calendar for next year, but nothings planned 100% as yet.
The bumper came like it Sonny, copied from when I originally came up with the idea from my old Cup. I do have another bumper that I can attach a fog light surround onto if people get funny about it. There is some sheet ally both sides that acts as protection to the lower pulleys on the engine, it does however have a part that deflects onto the disks but no actual ducting going to it.

Thanks Bear! I'm under no illusions that it'll look like it does come the end of next year, as long as panels hold themselves on then that's all I'm worried about! lol
I haven't read the regs in a while, seems like lots of things have changed. If they keep on changing it looks like I'll be racing in a different series then, as taking further things off the car from the original good proposed regs is getting tiresome.

Stop moaning and get it out there. There's more scope than I thought there was going to be when I first spoke with Tony. It is possible to race a totally standard car, despite what some might say. With things that are allowed, we wouldn't be coming last, if we'd have been out this year.

Congratulations on passing the test. When will the car be for sale?.....

You just said you haven't got any ducting?
I don't keep changing them, it's Steves baby not mine.

Nope not just yet mate, still a bit to go...
Fire extinguisher
Cut off switches
Steering lock removal
Fit 6 point harness
Then its 'race ready', but not ready for the series.
If you drive to the circuit you don't actually need to remove the steering lock
Q.19.6. If fitted with a steering lock have it renderedinoperative (except for road going vehicles, driven to
events).
