I hear you have registered for George, and you stated that the TieFighter will be up and running all the way to George and back.

Thats the spirit, now the whole forum is proud of you.........

See you there...

Herman

Pride leads to TheDarkSide and we all know what happened there..

Yes I am pushing to get it there, just waiting for my appi to get off his holiday in dry dock so that he can pass the tools.

Got a price for the lambo door hinges... Only R24 000!!! WTF?

The Emperial bank has run out of funds at the moment and there is no way Id make it to George this yr... Its so close to being finished but its always the last bit that takes the longest...

It really suxs!!! I so wanted to go...

Got to stop around at the Angrrrr man cave and got some work done on TheForce11 Got the long block compleated well almost, missing
4 rocker nuts
1 fuelpump pedistal


@#$%%$#@%

Anyway replaced the gudging pin sirclips with teflon caps got the barrels all shimmed up, forget-me-knots unforgotten (almost )
Slowly slowly catchy monkey...

So after all the work in the hot as hell mancave of TonyZ's, Sith LordZ took me for the much attisipated spin around the block. Remember he stays out in the boondocks and the blocks are rather large. I did take a video of one launch to just over 100MPH!!!!!! There is a lrge improvment over the previous build of the motor. In the video (when he has web access again I'm sure he will post it) you will see me lift my finger when we hit 100kph, 0-100kph approx 5.5sec we did have a some clutch slip in 1st around 3000rpm and then it bit... No wheel spin just grip from those fat takkies. Will have to check and see what the time to 100mph was... And the violance of the gear changes are well violent!!! The front suspension is a bit firm and needs to soften up bit which would inprove the road manners. Then there is the Recaro seats! Firm but very comfortable and hugely supportive and adjustable. Plus they look like this.....

But feel like this......

Vader, you have such a way with words....
