Paint is a dead on match now all round, plus the rear bumper had a few chips etc that are all taken care of now.
Can't wait to see the stripes on, that will totally complete it.
Just been up my local windy mountain road in it, sure does go good I have to say.
At the track day last weekend I was greeted with a spanner warning light, consult manual. No obvious symptoms and car seemed fine to drive.
As soon as i stopped in the pit after my session the hill hold not available message popped up.
Cycled ign and faults went away till my next session, same...
Being a holiday weekend Phil and I thought we'd beat the mass exodus by leaving at 1-2pm on the Friday but that didn't help. A 3.5-4 hr drive turned in to a 6hr drive although I did make a stop to drop off some powder coating from my Porsche project.
Another friend of ours also went, he was...
Kiwi track rat talked me in to doing a track day at Taupo (4hr drive from our city) and rather than taking my GTI Golf I figured I'd better get the GT ready.

Then...
Nearing the end on the rebuild part of this job, we were waiting for a container to arrive with the remaining parts we needed and also the Apex wheels. Container duly arrived a week or two ago but guess what, no parts.......nothing. Crap......parts were MIA in US warehouse.
Fortunately Phil had...
So far all good apart from a noisy steering rack, seems like a bad bearing in the electric motor so I'm unsure if we just get another used one or strip this one and repair.
Check this out, she's registered boys!!
This is what trust and good working relationships is all about. Even though we are still waiting for parts to arrive both the entry certifier and repair certifier were able to sign off on it allowing registration to happen.
Both these guys I've dealt with...
Yep close to about half the cost of a liter of gas here is TAX of some sort but what ever way you twist it, its still 3 bucks a liter out of my pocket.
