Only a small item had a ht lead cover made to see what his work was like.

It is MINT!

I had the carbon roof and bonnet made by other company.

Will you have yours on and at Natinal Day be interested to look at the boot closely.

Just out of interest mate have they been lacquered after or it is just a resin finish?! look shit hot but if they havnt been lacquered i'd advise having a couple coats put on after, thats what we do with all the bare SLR carbon bits and it gives a lovely deep shine and gives it a bit more protection against damage!

Stu, can I ask you a quickie about the AIM dash.

Im yet to run mine on the car(fuelled up and driving) the fuel level seems to sample the level at an alamring rate (only noticed this from testing outsdie the fuel tank) does the guage scale fluctuate on the dash when cornering etc.. or can you program it to sample the fuel level reading at a slower rate.

Pretty sure you can vary the sample rate in the race studio software.

I dont have those problems as I just dont bother running a fuel gauge!!! I have all the sender and feeds to the dash, just have not bothered configging it yet.

What I wish the AIM would do is allow a 3rd or 4th page of data to be displayed on the dash.
