Awesome work again Tricky! Are you gonna make those manifolds for customers?

And is that a cutting-edge aero mod I see. Using a rough surface to promote laminar flow on the body kit? :)

Simon - thanks mate. Wheels arethe next thing to be ordered, just held off too long waiting for Tony to pay for my Superheavies, and now I have to wait for the exchange rate to realign itself.

Matt - thanks. Not really a problem with the speed bumps, as I have nearly 5 inches of clearance

Ken - yep, wanted to look like one mean SOB alright!

Nick - thanks buddy!

Lach - thanks mate, yes nearly there. A bit more of a push and its done!

JC - thanks brother, should be instant alright!

Gordo - thanks man, looking forward to seeing yours on the road soon too!

MM - yes, if someone asks me for one I probably would (hang on, someone has!!!). Still a lot of work on the spoiler, imagine the thickness of the boundary layer with a surface that rough!!!

Should have another update ready by this time next week.

Cheers,
Tricky

Thanks Ranger,

Unfortunately the last two seekends have been spent cleaning up all the mess from the November 16th storms and subsequent rains.

Had the insurance assessors around, and now I'm expecting a visit from an engineer - the slab in the workshop has got a crack in it that water pissed up through - hydrostatic pressure at its best will even crack concrete.
