Damm regulator not here yet,

If i can scratch out my old brake pads ill bring the SX, new rear brake system still hasnt arrived from Japan

sucks livin in a country were nothings available or hard to get - lookin at sites around the world, seeing what they got available, at really affordable prices peeves me off..... cant find a set of aftermarket fenders for the sx, but online in the states i can find a selection of fibre and carbon parts from hoods,fenders,tail gates(hatch), even carbon doors for the sx... then you can still choose how wide you want the fenders to be, just a pitty it would be so expensive to ship those items....

good luck finding those pads - hope to see your sx there... believe it starts at 10, any idea what time we need to be there to enter?

Normaly 30-45 minutes prior, they usless at telling people when the ASCC events are and what times...

Yep, in the US its fast and easy, getting good quality fiber stuff though is hard even there, the good stuff is $$$ but even with the cheaper stuff you can make it work easy if you can work with your hands... here is it more supply and demand and unfortunaly (fortunatly ) we dont drive golof's and corsa's

Been scratching around, looks like I turfed the old pads when i switched systems.. ohh well..

not just the fibre stuff - i couldnt even get a set of wheels locally - racing hart has a nice set of wheels on there local site:

http://www.rhc.co.za/RacingHartConcepts ... r/nos.html

try getting fitment/sizing info outa them... get told to contact my local twt who in turn tells me the wheel in question doesnt exists and proceeds to try and sell me something else...

thanks to internet land i will soon have a set of tenzo's.... much better

bummer bout the brakes...

oh yes, i had TWT try tell me to buy truck rims,,, then one of the local yokals here tell me I can fit 5X112 no problem onto my hubs which are 114.4... I some times wonder about how people here opperate!!!

If our freight agents werent such P**SA we could actualy bring rims in at a good price, air freighting one set sux, as you now know, imagine these guys bringing in a container at a time, making easy 100% markup,, but again, supply and demand, your local tool wants a set of 40kg chrome whooptie rims on anything from a sport compact to a taxi, thus we get crap rims on offer.

yea tell me bout it - freight = more than cost of rims....

i'd like to see him try fit them - whats he gonna ream the holes with a drill for clearance fit?? f**ken idoits...

deff lost a customer in me, for all i know the Rh nos wheel is actually available in the sizes i wanted (doubt it) but quess now will neva know, just less stresfull to pay extra and deal with someone in another country that actually knows whay they talking about... and actualy responds to your email with the awnsers to the questions you posted - instead of referring you to there idiot agent

Ditto,

Thats why I far prefer building cars and doing my thing than listening to customers crying all day about the service and stuff they got from other people that caused their engines to fail blaa blaa blaa, but its the same idiots that return to the same people to only be left with empty pockets time and time again.

Just laugh it off, not even worth a second thought.

results of trackdat practice - need exhaust flame shield

Thats alot of heat ,Hope it was fun

What feul are you running ?

lotza fun, but decided not to complete the event, that was after 3laps only

over the counter BP98 unleaded race fuel

how do you find that fuel ??
It is a bit expensive to use as a dailly runner .
Can still get 102 or better 120 from Ferroli,but Eish not cheap
20lt cans

from BP in PE, nope use plain unleaded pump gas for daily use, race gas only for meetings...

How is this car running ?
Whats the latest development ?
