No sniffing the race car next time you see it, the men in white coats will take you away 

They did that a long time ago.....

Looks ace Clive, superb fit and an incredible weight saving 

[Grant Monkhouse]

That's a good chunk of weight for sure, would it be necessary to get the car corner weighted again and adjust the  suspension for the amount or do you think it won't make that much of a difference?

No need Grant because of the areas the weight is coming out of the car will be fairly even.

That's a huge weight loss
Along with the gearbox I'm sure you'll be looking very peaky in thunder saloons

Hope so, going to be well miffed if between the box the weight and the different tyres I dont see a reduction in lap times.

My friend made classfiber door to his rallycross car. Quite big job actually. But weight loss is massive.

Going to be a tough fight this year, I have seen that more Aussie V8 Supercars have landed here to compet in Thunder Saloons that are in my class!. 

Ode to self, got to, got to, go faster this year

If it was gonna be easy everyone could do it.

Positive mental attitude captain.

Put the old girl on a diet, trust your instincts, and cut a hole in the bulkhead so the loud pedal travels further

Quicker gear changes and a bit of weight loss should do you good.

For extra added bonus you could do with another 50bhp

Don't suppose your allowed E85 are you?

Only supposed to run pump fuel but I do run Lucas Octane booster which is one of the few out there that doesn't chage the map because it has oxygen content.

Small update, still being optimistic that i'm going Racing.

New Racing Beat Alloy Flywheel, that should not only spin the engine up faster, but also let the revs fall quicker due to less inertia giving faster gear changes and  Racing Beat clutch disc fitted this week.

My machinist extraordinaire, commonly known as the lesser spotted Steve, is also underway with the adaptor plate for the T5 gear box

Very nice
Yeah I think racing will be going ahead by April at latest
Don't forget mind Clive
Lots of mods this year
You have big boots to fill  and better on last years results lol
Can't wait to see you go
Good luck

I take it you've checked all this with Christine and she's OK with it?
