I won't be doing any events at all after July, sadly. It will probably have the rest of the year off, and then I shall re-evaluate once I know where I'm living pemanently, whether I have an income etc.

Yesterday I moved the Nova to its new home, it's tucked up nice and safe thanks to a friend of mine.

Oh Colin no!

...You got the thing air borne?

Was it running better with the alternator on?

Just read this from start to finish, and from what i can see.. its better than eating custard creams and having sex.

Does anybody know any contact details as i could do with that bodykit ,it looks to be wide enough for my wheels and the height looks just about right for the 40mm min ground clearance allowed

hello! this car is built and driven by tobias auchter. http://www.honda-auchter.de/motorsport/index.html

The new crank pulley TTV are meant to be making for me still hasn't been done, so I was still on total loss electrics.

I had loads of problems over the weekend, dodgy gear linkage, overheating and then a fairly big crash.

The event photographer captured most of the accident on camera (stills, not video), he's sending those to me so I will post them up soon.

There's a fair bit of damage to the car, but considering the violence of it, and the distance it covered (I left the track at around 100mph), it looks to have withstood it pretty well. Although I reserve the right to amend that view when it gets stripped down.

As it sits on the trailer now it looks like it will need;

Front bumper
Drivers door
Drivers front wing
Radiator
Air filter
Gearbox casing
Front crossmember
Tie bars
Front anti-roll bar
Turbo wastegate
Steering arms

Sad news Colin. Glad you are all right and hope the car isn't too badly damaged!
