Woo hoo! she's wired and fired -- primed the oil system ,fuel pump on , activate the squirters , ignition on- hit the start button --three turns and she's alive -no sweat
At the moment, its one RCR Go Kart next is a little road shake down then the body fitted and painted --then new tyres and voila :thumbsup:
-------TRACK TIME.............
 
Hi Chris,

A really nice looking job
How come you seem to have so much space for everything ?
Look foreword to seeing it on the track, any plans to bring it "down south"

Ian, would like to compete down south with you, but not sure if i could cope with your tail light view every 3rd lap :laugh:

So,-- had a quick drive around the block today --weighed in at 890 Kg --(I weigh 95kg) with 20L fuel , 8L oil, 12L water --aaand no body.
Brakes (willwood) excellant, clutch (930 trans ) very good, Gears through a single rod shifter 1,2,3,4 easy --reverse, a fair bitch . Steering too slow and lock to lock -poor.
So far, it gives the sensation of a fun car to drive and really wants (would like) to get up and boogie :thumbsup:
On to the body fitment................

Hey Chris, congratulations on the progress. Let us know when you are taking her to the track. Morgan Park I assume, I'd love to come and have a purve.

Errr Chris, what little toy is the wife getting to balance up your new treasure? A newer Cobra, perhaps?? New kitchen?? Shopping trip to Paris?? Just wondering; I've found most things come at a price.

*Paris shopping -- tick
* Kitchen ---tick
* Gold and Diamonds from the Persian Souks ---tick
* new Cobra? --naah! the old one isn't quite dead yet
As you can see, she gets what ever she wants and is obviously very content :stunned:-- thats why the Lola is taking so long to bloody finish :laugh:

The instruments -- One BIG tacho with shift light , oil press. and water temp, the rest are little lights that come on if someting isn't working --then, all I have to do is remember what they were for :idea:

Do you like the wheels Stevo ??
