Saturday we took the car out for its first shake down on the TrackScotland trackday at Knockhill.

Perfect conditions; cold, dry and sunny.

Car ran great with a few niggles that needed sorted. In between sorting a few things we did 120 miles of running in, no full throttle and limited to 6000rpm. Averaged a not bad 16.7mpg as well.

Back in the workshop, time for some graphics with Barry from Sign It doing the business

So we took Sara through to Tynecastle Garage for initial set up last night and got her on the scales

In end of race trim (car, driver, 5 litres of fuel) she weighed in at 966kg. Minimum weight is 1075 including driver so we’ll be needing some ballast then!

Exhausting

Busy shift tonight so only got a couple of pics of the first exhaust we’ve had made up

2.25in stainless, mandrel bends, straight through silencer. Obviously it’s upside down but you get the idea.

Loom for Sara is now complete and taped, dash support installed, heater matrix installed and dash cradle in place. Dash loom test connected for power up hopefully tomorrow.
