Door cards out, started pulling the crap out of the engine bay I don't need. Almost ready for cage.
Sick so CBF doing anymore today. Ordered the Polycarb for the windows. Not much left to do, Must find motivation.

How the hell did you do that.Originally Posted by kaanage
Congrats to jasonc23 for getting into the 1:45's at Winton
I think even with my mods it would be hard to get a 1.45
Do you get much wheel spin coming out of the corners, the one 3/4 of the way around which is quite tight coming on the the back straight
MODS- TOO MANY

Kinda depressing when I'm still way back at 1:51.0(my tyre blew before I could improve on my previous best)

doesnt your car still have some leftover from the 7 layers of aerospace-grade sealant, THEN the 9 layers of wax that you put on it for dubstitute?

Haha, im still not happy with the paint work, I guess that is the thing with detailing, you can always improve on it .what for?

I have never given it a proper correction, which is what it needs to get rid of the swirls, Yes there are swirls in my paint lol.
Would like to try the Wolfs Body Wrap too

Brake later, corner harder and power on earlier = 1:45How the hell did you do that.

I do get a bit of wheelspin coming out of the tight corners but it's manageable - I either try to feed the power in or get the car pointed straight until I hammer it. You can also short shift to 3rd coming out of the corners and ride the wave of torque.
Hopefully break into 1:44s after I add a bit more bracing and wider tyres...but this won't be anytime soon
