some much needed work

Dropping the car off to get Andrew to do some much needed work on it. I have a bit of a list of things that need doing Fix HID lights For some reason the Std S14a lights when flashing them turn the normal lights off for a split second, if you look at the wiring diagram you can even see that it does it. This would normally not be an issue but with the HID's when the power gets cut they are going into a protection mode and shutting down, you can just imagine driving along and then having no lights all of a sudden. T hermo fan We pulled off the std clutch fan a while ago and need to fit the stock thermo fan back into the car on a temperature switch so it turns on automatically when needed. The suggestion is that this will be enough cooling for the track and hopefully around town although still a bit worried if it will not be enough.

Kognition Wing Unpacked

Image

This looks like sanding on all the edges of the wing which is very rough. A scratch, could have occurred in transit but with the way it was packed i am not sure. You can see how the way the mounts are glued into the wing which is a little rough. You don't see this on a Voltex wing i guess. The ding in the wing, there is no way this happened in transit, you ca...

new stickers for the tool box and one for the car

Image
i   put some extra  stickers  on  my  tool  box,  added  the  hi  octane  racing  and  option  two  ones  today. Don't normally put stickers on my car but made an exception in this case and  added  the  speedhunters  stickers  to  both  quarter  windows. Think  they  look  good  and  not  too  big  which  doesn't  change  the overall  clean  look  of  the  car
