Thanks guys, I had a ball. Someone forgot to install the aircon in my car, I was cooking!

I've got plenty of mods to keep me busy for awhile now. I'm very pleased that nothing broke. It was very reliable. I could have drove up, raced and drove home as per usual. I had an offer I couldn't refuse so it went on a trailer.

The only drama's I had were on Saturday.

a) Threw a fan belt. Not sure why.
b) Engine was getting up to 100deg C. Change of coolant solved that on Sunday.

That is a real good start straight up Brendan. 10's is a given when you get everything in the car working together. Good to hear you had a good reliable weekend also! Looking forward to seeing it run in the flesh

Not me I'm afraid. I was in Bendigo by 8:30pm Friday. I'm not sure if it'll see as much street duty as I would like. Second time I had it out I had a police officer hanging out of his car window. Yes, he was driving too. Well he was supposed to be. He slowed to 70kph (80kph zone) to allow me to catch up but I had to turn into my estate before I caught up. I don't wan't police hassle. Especially when I was just sitting at a T intersection waiting for a safe time to pull out.

Without a doubt. It'll see a few meets if I'm not working.
