See I think its looks tough in that shot, I mean its not pretty as such just looks like it means business.

Yeah same, and funny how camera angle really changes the “size” in the shot with the 2 cars it looks way bigger than the Tonner (it’s not) but in this one it looks smallish!

Def your car looks better with shots from lower, the one above on track is nice, the one immediately above makes it look a little portly!!

Well that was an “interesting” day…

After Wodonga there were some questions in my mind with the Lexcen’s handling it’s a bit sketchy at times and downright bizarre at others..

Got up this morning and made a couple of Toe Gauges out of some material I had on hand bit of a surprise that it has 10mm of Toe out in the front and 7mm Toe out in the rear… (gee I wonder why it’s weird at times) DUH..

Adjusted the rear to 0 and the front to 2mm Out which should increase to 3mm with the Semi Slicks, Even on dirt it’s been a bit special at times now I know why…

Yeah all that effort and build up then….. “crickets”

Trying to get an entry in to Deniliquin next weekend but they’re fussy about tyres so I may not be able to run there…

Recorded the ARC rally from Ballarat the other week and was watching it today, I noticed a few of the teams were running bonnet vents about half way along and to the sides, I assume these would be handy low speed sections and while it’s stationary so figured I’d look for some online…

Anything halfway reasonable looking was 100’s of dollars so I figured I still had my Dimple Die I made when I did the boot lid so went down this evening and made some new “Speed Holes”

Of course it can’t be that easy….. after I finished the holes I gave em a wash with PrepSol before blowing some paint on the bare metal.. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The Satin Clear I used last time turned to goo… washed it all down till it was smoothish dried it off and blew what I had left of some Flat Black Engine paint, it’s not great but it’s a LOT better than it was.. (still not fully dry and will probably flat off a bit more)

New headlights need eye lids.

Given it got a cage and also awd, that’s bloody light.  Be fun to take it down the 1/4 one day, I imagine it would run a good number.

Yep pretty happy, not long ago I was looking at replacing the Shell with something smaller/lighter but everything cheap/modern was a heavier base weight, the VR is a good compromise for this much power on dirt as it has the wheelbase and track in its favour!
