Not much Fury DNA left there!!!

Look forward to seeing it in a more flattering colour...

Is that the body out of the mould, as the wheel arches look odd. Would have thought they would come out with a finished edge instead of one that needs trimming.

No return edge on wheel arches on purpose, it can then be trimmed back to suit bride height and wheel size

Looks great.

Will be coming down to Donington on Sunday.

That's great news.

Any schedule for when it will be seen on track?

MK9R - 15/7/13 at 02:58 PM

Fingers crossed out testing closed season. Once mark has got the demo car built the kit car mags are running a feature, hopefully this will be well before then ;-)

Agriv8 - 15/7/13 at 03:06 PM

Austen,

Hows the engine ? Marc metioned you had frazzled yours at donni as well.

PS Randon question - where did you get you LED light tube from, I want the one like the one you used under the Easi up at Donni.

Thanks Agriv8

Engine is out, spare engine ready to go in. no hole in the block, but engine has very little compression and makes a horrid scratchy noise when you turn it over with a big bar, guessing a melted piston.

Led tube was from eBay, dan bought it, think it was around £40

All plugs were fine when we checked after race 1. Car had been running hot all weekend and had spat all its water out at the end of pembrey. Leaky head gasket maybe?? Engine was bought from a barn with no idea of history, had done 2.5 seasons and 2 birketts, plus testing and all I had to ever done was change the oil and filtering so was expecting it go sooner rather than later
