Good to see this lockdown is producing some results and anabling you to get both cars in order :sign0098:. Was always a pleasure to see you at track days. Keep up the good work and hopefully you will get some track time toward the end of the year. :icon_thumleft:

Well with the lock down I've had a bit of time to work on my car's. With my black rx7 up and running waiting for a tune. I've had chance to have a look at my rx7 race car, after a year or so and a lot of hassle with the ECU I finally got it started, so after finishing off a few bits I can get it in for tune, it's been so much grief and hassle I am made up.

:bravo_2: Good to hear from you, keep in touch  :great:.
All the best Clive

Well my car has come on a bit, it now drives lovely thanks to pip, although I fear he was right and it needs more power, my fault as it only has a mild tune. But I will probably get it booked back in with him when I get it back from the paint shop, I got a delivery from Japan of  new window seals, front and back and doors and new wiper arms this week. So hopefully I'll be able to post up a few shinny photos soon.

Oh goody. Cant wait. Amazing the difference seals and wipers arms make to overall appearance.

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

I know what a wuss I am, but I was thinking that I had the track car for big power, it makes you smile when the boost kicks in but it doesn't make you giggle likes school girl, so needs more :13:

A little update of my car, I have been down to the paint shop today to check out how it's coming on. It's been quite a long process, the shop has done a full strip down and replaced any rust with metal, stone chipped the under side and any metal from the crash bars to the inside of the wings. The car is spread over three bays all painted up waiting to be flattened. Then he can put it back together. It has to be said he's making a amazing job of it. I can't wait to get it back and get some photos up.

I have just got back in the snow with my car and I am very pleased with the outcome. I have a couple of photos from the body shops Facebook page for hi you, I take some myself when I've had chance to give it's wheels and inside a clean.
