Blog post 29 is up , mostly video links to racing I've done in the race starlet the last two weekends, it's good to get out of the workshop and remind yourself why you do it.
I managed to snap the gear stick off at the base at the last event and managed to use a screwdriver as a replacement to win my class and 5th overall. You can see it in the last video

nice work man, saw this on au starlet site, just wanted to let you know your doing a wicked job!
wanted to twin engine my b16a starlet for ages and this might just about get me in the shed with grinder blazing.

the engines are 4e or 5e?

keep it up man, if it helps any the feeling to fire up your own custom creation its the best thing ever!!!

[DexGT]

Cheers , initially the motors will be 4E's with TD04L turbos , should be enough power till I sort the handling / braking

After a long few weeks of issues I have finally got the the new engine in the race starlet , and running properly (fingers crossed) .
Today I start the long drive to Pukekohe for the club-sport nationals this weekend.
I'm looking forward to driving around the track on Sunday , thou it won't be full laps as it's a bent sprint .
Saturday is grass day , motokarna and autocross .
fell free to talk to me if your around , just be aware , I tend to get a bit focused at these things , but I am happy to talk , even if it doesn't necessarily look like it
