Very cool. I wish there were more of these cars in the States. If you are in the market for a driver coach or need some help with set up please give me a shout. I won the British F3 Scholarship championship in 2004. Best of luck getting it together. Ryan Ryanlewisracing@gmail.com

Looking good Maris,

I sent you pictures earlier today.

My engine has been slow-dripping through the sump scavenge outlet O-rings. Someone must make a double O-ring type fitting!

[Kazis31]

Got it .
thankx.Just put some putty on it....
lol...

[Kazis31]

Tighter than a ducks butt everything is on this car........

[Kazis31]

another week ,another step closer to completion.....

[Kazis31]

one last push.....

[CGOffroad]

I have a buddy that runs a powder coating business, and I have an exhaust system I was thinking of running over to him and getting the standard flat black ceramic put on. I am in a holding pattern now!! That exhaust looks TERRIFIC !!

[BeerBudgetRacing]

one last push.....

ETA?
Where and when do I need to go?

[Kazis31]

End of July .
Street of Willow .
Need skip pad since shocks re fresh and suspension will be redialed in.

[Kazis31]

Exhaust coating is new product and even my guy (who does Haas and tonn of vintage and hot rod work) had never used this color before .
But he temp tested one smaller piece and it held ,before applying whole thing.
Material itself was like 45 bucks or so .
$ 350 for whole job.
It looks good with red and gold tape.
I guess it 's a good color match.

[Kazis31]

Add seat,set up and proper liquids.

Ohh what a beautiful waste of 150 hours of labor.


P.S.
add driver as well.....

[BeerBudgetRacing]
