Fabricated a rear Gurney Wing.. loosely based on the Rocket Bunny Duck wing idea but this one is adjustable. + My first bit of carbon work.. pretty stoked with the outcome.. although at its current setting it feels like im towing a car at freeway speed. To celebrate I gave the car a wash and took some pix 🙂

Yes Sir... stop by and say hi next time!
We wanted to. Arrived Sunday afternoon, spent the day at Aberlito Hospital Monday and then drove back on Tuesday !!
Ah so you visited my wife at work instead of me .. how rude 😛 !
But seriously.. Sorry to hear that ... hope all is well now.
done a fair amount of changes .. new suspension arms ( nothing really wrong with old ... just wanted to give it all a freshen up.
Been tuning the suspension towards a grip setting moving towards a grip setting incrementally rather than one shot, so far im enjoying ... front - 10seconds toe out / 8.5 caster / -4.2 camber / 25mm sway bar and Rear -2.5 camber / stock sway / neutral everything else.
New rear exit exhaust with Jap fart cannon
new rear undertray spoiler
Removed Sponsorship decals
been driving it daily a lot more
took it to Roy Hesketh this last weekend just to test settings / changes .. not to do times... so I ran low boost and just had fun. with new rear aero changes ive found I can get into 5th gear on the main straight now, and the car seems to feel more stable at speed. Hesketh has some steep corners.. I found my front end washing out a touch when I started pushing it a bit.. so im very keen to start the next phase in aero work on the front end. Undertray and canards.
