Is he running it anytime soon at an event?

He had it out at ruapuna a month ago. However Im not too sure when he is next heading out.

He is getting some new tyres - but with the family and all - everything seems to happen uber slow.

This is the only other pic I have.

Unsure which diff he is using.

He has throttle bodys from a blacktop to put on - But other than some decent tyres I don't think theres anything else he plans on doing.

Had a really bad brake bias problem at the last event, rears kept locking up so he's putting an adjustable brake bias valve in there some day..

Well the car was out at Ruapuna yesterday and he got 2 x 4th placings and 1 x 5th so he is stoked as its the 2nd time out.

The car was running at 104° - so is going to get a bigger radiator and replace the front suspension.
