It needs to be finished by the 21st March as thats the first day out on track....Shakedown day!

The car is going to look rather kewl once it is complete.....will keep all of the progress photos coming

Currently 1:15 round Combe......but I want to start playing with the group C cars, so im going to have to find another 4/5 seconds.

As for power....it will just be a standard 256bhp ;)

I have noticed a bit of piston slack of late! :D

As Tony rightly said wheels need to be black!

So Ive bought some Black Dymag Mag wheels....with Orange writing

Of course I\'m running Std power.....I have to give them a fighting chance!!! ;)

I\'m not actually sure....it was on the car when I bought it....

And as it is under 100db Ive no intentions of changing it....although I was tempted by the Racing Beat twin box system
