Another Wreck, another Race Car.....

Great to see your finally getting bum time Pete, good luck with the tuning and dialling it all in

First track side video is up.

The in car stuff will be a little while, my desktop PC is unwell at the moment.

been a while since I've been on the forums. Shattered I was out of the country for the first run of this thing, but glad it went well. Im sure I'll catch it another couple of times this year!

Congrats Pete

Just got my dry weather tyres fitted up. I had been waiting on the wheels, they only landed from the US last Friday.

It would have been nice to have had these for Phillip Island.

Wheels are VARRSTOEN V1 in 15 x 8 et0 Varrstoen | Custom Performance Wheels and Accessories » V1
Tyres are Hoosier R6 225/45/15 Hoosier Racing Tire - Tires Designed For Champions

The wheels have heaps of brake clearance which was a major deciding factor.

Weather permitting these will be on for the next race.

[Peter Jones]

Fitted up the new wheels.

This is just magic Pete

Still more ride height to lower Peter?

Also any race calender dates available mate.

[Peter Jones]

Yep I think I'll lower it some more, trouble is the springs on the coil overs will have to be reset to give me more adjustment.

(I also need to modify my trailer so it tilts and doesn't hang up when I'm loading up.)

I think I mounted the spoiler too high too, but that's just a matter of making new brackets.

There's nothing in the race calendar in March, next outing should be the VSSC event on 14 April at Sandown.

Video of first run.

No superhero stuff here I'm busy trying to figure out if everything is working OK.

The dash wasn't, so ignore the gear indicator. Speeds shown are correct, they're coming off the GPS.

Bear in mind that as I head into turn 1 for the first time at 120km/hr the brakes are completely untested. Towards the end of this clip you'll see me test the biasing and come off to adjust it.

Here it is, the maiden voyage.

nice one pete! looks great for the first run. as you mentioned, still sounds like the engine has a lot to give - i'm sure you can't wait to see how it goes once everything is run in etc!
