Racing and fixing stuff

Rallycross race in Parksville this weekend

4th in class - out of 17 cars

Very fast course - top speed was close to 100 km/hr in the straight stretch

I managed to finish the HID rally pod - thank goodness as I have to diagnose a problem with the car at high RPM's (cutting out during the afternoon session so we packed it in early)

Bits of work left

De-Stickered the car - took a while to remove the old CARS stickers - in preparation of the new stickers to be put on in May.

Rally Cross in Parksville on the April 18th weekend. Hopefully my new driving seat shows up before the event so I can install and check to see if it works.

No real work to go on the car until later on this month / next month.

Rally Cross Race - 20 March

The race went well - 2nd overall in the 2WD for a shake down race

Lots of great pictures were taken of the event

Wiring almost done

It was a good weekend for rally car work
- finished all of the wiring changes that I wanted to make
- finished most of the tie down / strengthening of the interior wiring and parts that I wanted to make

Tomorrow & Tuesday - put the interior back together and get ready for my first RallyCross Race on Saturday

Welding complete

Car half put together - just need to do a bit of work and complete my wiring of the dashboard passenger side, re-install the interior and finish everything off

Need a new driver's seat - the present one is a little short and the support ears did into my shoulders

Never ending cost, these race car things

Olympic Protesters

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH - darned Olympic protesters made it impossible to get my remaining car parts for my Subaru (street car) as they completely blocked off access to the body shop - now I have to wait until next week to get it finished which takes time away from fixing my race car

Too much work

Too much to do - working on four vehicles is a little time consuming

Rally car work is on hold until I can get my street car finished (in pieces in the back carport)

Final roll cage touch up & wiring happening this weekend and the weekend of the 20th
