Airbox arrives

Airbox finally arrives and looks the biz. Pics to follow. Meanwhile LOT race series looks on for 2007

New colour scheme ideas now turning to a JPS black n gold scheme

Possibly with Sunoco pinstripe flames. Will look at options ovr winter with Gary at Autotecnique.

Time Attack no go

Dunc cant get over so no chance to make time attak. Airbox arrives next week and hks ecv boost controller arrived and looks good... stay tuned

Quik update

Injectors finally tracked down for delivery

No other progress

Airbox about a week away

Dilehma is do I enter the time attack at KH as my shakedown or an easier track day...

Still need to pin Dunc to a time to come down and do the work

S'stone looks 50:50 at the mo..

Lots to do..

First stab at a short promo vid

Efforts to gain sponsorship continue.. Knocked this up on Sunday -

Only 4 mins long - rehash of the SIDC footage..

No commentary or overlay - posted to www.youtube.com for extra exposure.

Will also change music on final version.

Meanwhile - talk of change to bright gren colour scheme continues - suggested an idea to some of the Caterham/Elise guys to set up a 'Super-Green' Racing Team..

Injectors still AWOL - c'cooler pump arrives - colours?

Ok - injectors from Bruce at 5-0 have gone AWOL - USPS are complete monkeys and I have no way to track the order. I've asked 5-0 to send some more by alternate courier. AAAAARRRGHH !

It means Mexitowers is def off tho it was probably def off over a week ago..

Chargecooler pump arrived from John Welch - just need to get hold of Dunc - swapping, draining and refilling system can be a tricky and suprisingly long job to do.

Will pass a template for extended spoiler legs to sis-in-law to take to Matt and Graham at Enduro cars.

Gary at the bodyshop (www.Autotecnique.com) got me to thinking about a new clour scheme - lime green against black detailing; or lime and gunmetal, just sounds so right for the Esprit and new canvas for sponsor, event and racing liveries for next year/season.

This would make the car's 4th racing colours since it began racing over 10 yrs ago. It also takes my mind off the injectors !!!

Quick update: Delays means Mexitowers (9th June) is off !

No way car will be ready now for Knockhill Scottish Elises/SIDC track night - delay in getting Dunc over, bits from US have not arrived and airbox wont be ready for another fortnight..

Will look to do a shakedown next month b4 confirming back to Paul @ LOT for S'stone.

I know it'll be worth it but it's a painfully slow process in the meantime!

Have sent an email to John Stewart @ SIDC to confirm www.sidc.co.uk

One possible path for the project www.timeattack.co.uk

Perhaps more realistic than a full on race season?

Should be able to get car in line with regs for '07 plus compete in local sprint events for experience. Esprit will be heavily outgunned but will hold it's own once it has the Stage4 upgrade from John Welch.

Needs sponsorship though to keep the car running quick and reliable.

First of all I'd need a new seat, harness and fire-eater then check the car over against the regs.
