Cleared space in the Calender yet ? Looking forward to some progress
What? For you to come down and labour for me in August? Yep, have organised to have that week off. (I had planned to just leave you a list of tasks to have completed whist I am at work, but I am not sure I can trust your work ethic...)
Otherwise, I have been getting all the ducks lined up for July (month off work).
I have most of what I need for the fuel system- I am tempted to just drop the lot at Morpowa and have them fit it up. I don't know if I can be bothered learning how to assemble braided hose etc. They will do the retune on E85 any rate.
I am waiting for my Play With Carbon order to be fulfilled. Apparently they don't often get such large orders. Seeing as I wont be using the carbon until the body work is designed and moulds taken, I told them to save shipping and send the lot as one package.
The wheels and tyres are in the shed- I do need to get off my fat arse and have them fitted. I am shopping around for 'tyre totes' to put them in when I am not at the track so as to preserve them a bit. (officially I am not removing the tyres from the packaging so as to keep them in tip top condition, but the reality is I just haven't got out to the shed.)
Morpowa also have my IQ3 dash on order. Seeing as I will soon hold a small fortune in carbon fibre materials, I figured I may as well follow your lead and make a custom dash as well. That might be one of your tasks in August.
The aim is to have some sort of car on the track at the 3 August practice day, to bench mark the car and then have it fully sorted for the 14 Oct Classic Celica Club SA (of which I am now a member) event. There should be another test day in Sept to further develop the car. I assume there will be a lot of 'driver development' during this time as well, as it has been far too long out of the seat.
