Winter... Time for modifications
So I've driven her as much as possible after passing IVA in September and now she's sorn for the winter.
My plans pending the purse strings include a TRT prop, accusump, improved oil pan and generally stripping the car to check all nuts and bolts.
Really looking forward to getting her on the track next year.
What has everyone else got planned?

Ignoring the rollcages our cars are extremely similar - throw a zx14 in her.

I was going to say, nice colour scheme!  Thats the ideal plan, but I just need her mmoving for now while I finish a few other projects =]
Is yours zx14 powered?

Tidy up the locost to get her ready to sell. Just a few niggling jobs which I've been meaning to do for a while.
On the new (to me) fury:
- Install new lightweight washer system
- Dashboard tidy up
- Seating position fix
- Immobiliser fit
- Front numberplate
- passenger seatbelt replace
- and more...
Just itching to touch the fury but I know the locost needs sorting first!

Fit new seats and harnesses.
Pull the engine AGAIN to try and stop the crankshaft seal leaking. Maybe a further sump chop and modify sump guard to gain a bit of ground
clearance.
Try and make it easier to start.
New shocks all round as one is leaking slightly.
Easy!

Engine and gearbox are out, to try and find were the gearbox is leaking from and repair the gear lever selector that I broke in october
Ive give up with the engine leak, as its a xflow
Lightened flywheel to go on the engine, as I put the wrong one on there last time
change the prop bearings,
sort a rear oil seal leak on the axle
apart from that, nothing, as its the whole drive train this year
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at
