Little update, have been held off the ST during December because I had to do some DIY in the house (hate it!). Now glad to be back on.
A few updates to the championship that I'll be racing in in Scotland. Our cars will still fully comply with the BRSCC UK Fiesta regulations except that instead of Dunlop Wets/Slicks we now have to run Yokohama A048's. Not sure how I'll adapt to them.
The calendar has also been released, all rounds at Knockhill except the away round at Cadwell Park in June:
8 April 2012
5 / 6 May 2012
2 / 3 June 2012 *Cadwell Park*
21 / 22 July 2012
12 August 2012
23 September 2012
7 October 2012
Done a few things, main one is the bumper in the last post has now been filled in, sanded down etc now just ready to be given a final coat of paint - not sure whether to do it with some rattle cans or buy paint - my dad has all the painting gear I'd need.
I've taken the front panel off and I'm in the process of plastic welding this too. But for safety I think I'll put a few plates in to strengthen it up a bit, don't fancy it breaking mid race.
I also had some spare carbon fibre style vinyl left so got my heat gun out and applied it to my mirror covers. Quicker than repainting them but I'm not sure if it's too much with the stripes. They might look better a flourescent colour? Thoughts?
