Do you want to have a spin in mine? No power steering, so you can get the idea.

Went down to the workshop today to have a squizz at the progress.

Brakes done
Lowered another inch
manual steering rack done
kill switches being done now
4 degree camber at the front and 3 degrees at the back done

So happy, cant wait to get it back. Photos for you guys:

Hey mate, thanks for the encouragement. I got the r888 from taleb tyres Sydney. They were brand new manufactured this year. They were $920 a set of 4

I think it will be ready this month, but unfortunately I am overseas for VW nationals I would have loved to be there, miss it by a couple of days. I think my first bit of racing will be at Wakefield or Huntley hill climb

Col, i have a box of parts in my garage now, let me know when u want to pick up the steering rack etc.

Another update: Secret style bonnet pins being installed, they flush mount and are lockable, rather than having a pin sticking out. Quite a spacious engine bay now also The box of spares i got back was so heavy, at least 50kg from the car that it didnt need. would be interesting to weigh it after all this.

You're not running it without an air filter are you?

[ryana89]

Your running a serpentine belt set-up?
