Yes, I have a friend attending the event at the weekend who will be videoing, so I really hope to have some proper footage soon.

Would be nice to see some incar footage - but I know your weight saving obsession would never allow a heavy onboard camera to be fitted

I'm distraught, I've just weighed it tonight and got 541kg. About 10kg more than I was expecting.........I'll have to adjust it tomorrow with my lardy-ass in the seat to set the spring heights;

As you can see in the pictures, it got a little bit muddy today, it barely stopped raining, so it went for a test run on some 14" RFX's with gravel tyres, and my wets on the back.

The gear linkage could do with a little adjustment, and the bonnet decided to part company from the rest of the car.......I've had to revert to running pins at the back of the bonnet, as the thin carbon skin is flexing enough to detach the tubes I fitted from their locating holes.

Just the 15 hours spent on it today, I started soon after 7am and have not long finished for today.

Still more to do tomorrow before I set off for the race venue though.

Good to see it coming along so well Colin.

Sorry if it's been mentioned but I guess your using the iscv for ALS ?

[Lewis.]

looking good, where's the extra weight come from then? just in paint?

Looking good Colin, is the driver now on a crash diet to save weight?

I know I'm on a crash diet for NATS................

Can't wait to see the transformation inn the flesh next month hopefully at NATS

Keep up the good work
