That's very kind of you! Usually the only word starting with "I" that I'm referred to is "idiot" haha
Here is some footage from Ben's GoPro, can't believe I haven't put it on here already! This was my first ever lap in the beast so go easy on me!

Well with Nationals out of the way and everything ticked off our long and never ending check list:


We thought it was time to clean the board and write a new list:


We aim to get this car to Phillip Island in November, so time to crack out the spanners again. Thankfully the list is a lot shorter than last time. Our main expense will be tyres this time, opting for some semi slicks (Grip was woeful with the bald Potenzas we had on at Nationals)
Will be changing the oil relief valve and oil pump to hopefully solve a missfire (can hear in the video from wakefield ^^^)
We managed to fix the gear linkage today (hopefully for good) and adjust the throttle so that it idles (we have deleted the idle... control????)
Made a short video to celebrate which I will link when it is finished uploading.
Lets get to work!

And get the battery kill switch working. (Not just there for good looks)

Yeh will bolt the passenger seat up and swap the drivers harness with a 5 point. Passenger can have the 4 point.
Forgot about the kills witch so will have to have a look at it!

Yes, please sort some tyres for us, cheaper and grippier the better!!!
