And my last post, witch brings us to the present estate

The story:

Friday the 13th, was just a perfect day for me, no sign of unluckyness, I passed my english language exam (oral part), borrowed a trailer (or towwer?) from a friend for free, everything was set up for a perfect saturday the 14th

They organized a slalom/rallysprint race "nearby", so It was time to test the car with these suspension settings, and the centered panhard, lowered rear end. I have to say, the car is VERY good to drive now. No sign of understeer, only if you are entering a corner with way to much speed. Everything was fine, untill... Well on the practise run, I smashed my second gear's synchro... So I had to hold the gear shifter, in second, other wise it throwed it self in neutral. Well ok, shit happens... I completed my first timed lap, but I had to go again, becouse there was a fault in the photoelectric cell which times your lap. I was happy, I got more laps to go. Well, on that lap, I completly destroyed the gearbox, and it seems like it took the clutch with it as well..

So I have to change transmission (lucky that I bought a sport tranny earlier), and probably clutch as well... Expensive weekend... Well I guess thats autosport

Btw, I think it is time to buy a pair of R888-s on the rear rims as well, becouse I couldnt get any traction! They do a perfect job on the front end of the car, no warming needed, and they stick like hell. So it was very spectacular for the viewers, but very slow... Fun tho...

Small little vid:

Well thats all, I'l write herefrom now on, hope that few people will find the concept interresting

Cheers
