    savage build..its comming along well.
    good feeling knowing you have done things yourself too,
    if id space and ways to get the car to a track id save and buy myself something for some abuse!

    i used drive that car loads doing passanger spins and stuff like that ste!!
    savage car i must say!!
    one of the best of the academy cars!!
    its set up with a load of castor and it has the 1 euro coins in the rack i think
    it used go overcentre a lot and the wheel used wobble more than any car iv driven ha
    but some cars are just like that
    the offset rack spacers will stop it going overcentre...or if you want to go mad move the rack forward!!
    not a whole pile you can do about the steering wobble though just hold on tight!! haha

    Ya 1st time i drove mine in punchestown i found the wobble feirce weird but its something you get used to youd almost miss it if it wasnt there and ya kev i drove this aswell shes a nice little car ...shes well set up but ste id say definitely get the rack spacers cause going over centre isnt a nice thing to happen and there only 70 pound

    well began gettin the shitty bits done before its next day out..

    replaced the leaking hydro line with a new braided one from murray motorsport. we used a banjo bolt instead of the 90 degree bend on the old one so hopefully shouldn leak..

    then removed all the wheels and bled the brakes and hydro and all seems ok with that now only took few mins

    also fitted my new fixed seat rail that Joe in custom metal works.ie made for me had to get it made few inches lower and bit closer to wheel as i feel more comfortable sittin up close so big upo to joe for that....

    hope to pick up some corner lights for it and a bigger fmic this week and hopefully some new arms ordered or bought too

    well as the car is not kept 40miles from me i only get to work on it one day a week so collected few small bits during the week... the car will have a full suspension setup carried out by wez in wkd before i get it out at another practise day..

    first thing i got was this off lukeworx, the core is alot larger than wats fitted now and pipework is also wider.


    then got this thrown together by joe in custom metal works, might seem silly to some people but the heat from the down pipe was melting all the soles of my passengers shoes so just got this to stop that( will have to modify it a tad i think to have it neater)


    i then got a omori water temp gauge off scamper today which was faulty so the issue was quickly agreed upon betwen us and the gauge was binned.. so got these this evening off baz at bsp imports.. i know its not the best brand but at 25euro for everything ya cant complain..25euro got me the rad hose insert the gauge and a mounting plate for it so i well happy




    so hope to throw all these in on saturday may have 1 or 2 more bitsd to add tomorow....
