Well its back at the suspension place getting the sway bars done now, hopefully only a few weeks away before I can hit the track for a few runs to see what falls off or doesn't work. ---------- Post added 14-02-11 at 16:56 ---------- Oh yeah, these bad boys rocked up today, much better looking than I thought they would be. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Kane is getting some pics hopefully over the long weekend of it as its almost ready to go. Wide body kit is taking ages, just a time consuming job, and I cant do it so I have to wait for my old man to get into it in his spare time. Should start the rear section of the wide body this weekend. Car will be on the track in April, also ill have it down at the LSX garage dyno day on the 19th of March, get down there and check it out, great workshop with a huge amount of experience between them all.

I had the pleasure of shooting JET3LT the other day in an aircraft museum. I forgot my tripod so i was limited with the lighting the background and the foreground. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

More updates here in a few weeks, car still hasnt made it to the track yet. Full up date when it has had its first test session though.

Its just a matter of getting everything on the car sorted first, then getting it down to paint. Its still at least 8 weeks off, maybe more, I have put the pressure on, but there is only so much these guys can do. Ill have to test the balance of the new setup, then work every other night on the aero, then test some more at the end of the week, then repeat. I want to go right down to a 1min 40ish lap at Eastern Creek, achievable, but the car has to be a lot better than last year.
