Looking good mate and whats the plan of action for this next year? Are you racing it, going for more power or just a track beast. I take it CS is the best place to get the phenolic spacer for the harrop?

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

Yeah Nick has one of these on his car I believe. Next year....... Not sure yet as funds are LOW but there is a new little race series that's caught my eye. Don't want to say too much yet but it will mean converting the VX over to full slicks which will be fun Just need to win the lottery and we're good to go!

[NickB787]

Yep Jimmy I do looking forward to next year

[JohnTurbo]

Gt3??? :-)

[haggi961]

Sounds interesting and look forward to see this race series your on about. Always love to see the vx in different race competitions.

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

It'll only be single events here and there as a full season is beyond financially me and to be fair the current times are SOOOO fast that without a big budget it'd be impossible to win but I'd love just to get the chance to mix it up out again

Britcar?..... On your own Be good to get a team on board again like you did in 2011 buddy for whatever championship/rounds you choose to do. I'm sure there will be a following. If anything an excuse for a pissup.

My new bosses FINALLY showed up today!! Just my luck that the parts I needed to finish my fuel system were only avaiable from the US and were ordered from a guy in New Jersey.

Anyway 5 mins after the postie handed them over they were on the car and she was purring away. Engine sounds sweet as a nut but I really need to get over to Pembrey now and do some testing through left handers to see if I've cured this missfire issue.

Here's the car finally running without any leaks Still needs a little bit of tidying up (garage too )



Now to start rebuilding all the back end. hate removing the spoiler supports it's a proper mare of a job!!!

[Goosenka]

The little one must be proficient with a spanner by now?!
