Another Group S Car Nears Completion....

+1 Paul you have the fancy helmet, you NEED some stripes

I have more than enough stripes on my fancy helmet to compensate for my lack of stripes on my Alfetta GT...

Wow how time flies, 3 years down the track and so far all I have done to the car is fix bits that broke and lighten the car with plastic windows.

Over this holiday period I am planning on doing a few small things like:

- Overhaul front calipers, strip off racing red flaky paint and leave the calipers unpainted.
- Fit small PC680 Odysey battery.
- relocate fuel pump to the rear, currently under driver side and too close to road when off-roading
- Buy an in-car camera and mount it.

Engine is a little tired and budgetry constraint mean it will need to last for another 12 months before a minor refresh.

What everyone's plan for their group S cars?

Yes Hung time flies. 4 years now for me and finally all my mechanical and engine performance development has been refined and the car drives great. Summer months for me is to fit a Pollycarbornate rear window, attend to some panel damage, freshen up the cosmetics under the bonnet and a new paint job. It's got to be more shiny........go faster.

and a new paint job. It's got to be more shiny........go faster.

seriously how can you make it shinier than it's already is?

Or "freshen up the cosmetics under the bonnet"...

As Ted Bullpitt would say "I just polished the battery"

[Neil Choi]

Yep, my refinement process is I break it, I replace it.  Just waiting for the next thing to break as I have just about replaced every bit on the entire car thus far save the nut that holds the steering wheel and that day will come shortly!!!

Neil,

I thought that you had the new nut for the steering wheel in training!!

Done then undone, revert back to bigger battery I don't want to sit on dummy grid hoping the battery is ok

- Buy an in-car camera and mount it.

Awaiting budget allocation
