    It was my box running in it this time though, and I think the last one was on its last legs anyway!

    The Gemini did allow a quick grab of 6th just after the bridge...before outbraking myself at Dufus [:x]

    Need to get mine finished & stop wrecking Craig's.

    Two pics I got yesterday although not the best as the light was disapearing. The first one just needs brightened up a little I think. Might try editing it somehow.

    Rite in between other stuff I havent forgotten about the car...It pleads with me everytime I am out in the garage to put it back together.
    So anyway currently the plans are to finish off the widetracking something I probably should have done when I first built the car. Finish off heatshielding areas at risk of radiant heat from the manifold/turbo area. Maybe one day get my new wheels before christmas. Brakes, and i need to build another triangulated rear beam and build it up with Seat stubs, hubs and discs.

    Hopefully all this plus the addition of slicks will get the car handling better than before not that it was bad just not good enough. Hoping the AP's will give me better modulation over the old porsche brembos as it was pretty scary locking the brakes at the slightest touch before, if not then a pedal box will be winging its way to me, anyway some photos as everyone likes that.

    Bit of heat shielding yet to cut holes in my bonnet to let the heat out.
