    progress is somewhat backwards (turbo etc) but forwards is progressing. tyres were tested.. and I like my choice. work reasonably well I think.

    awaiting new suspension tho so all might change for the worse until i suss out how to set it up as I like.

    gone from +1sec deficit to evens with Tims ibiza. without a fully functional turbo and without new suspension and with a lod of weight still to be shed from the car.

    getting there.
    slowly. hampered by unwanted setbacks.

    Wassup wiv the turbo, then?

    You got the tyres in there though, which is more than was looking likely back in Jan. +ve news.

    Tims Ibiza was the silver car then Bill? Guessed that much from my flying visit..... :)

    Cars seemed very evenly matched, so surely a positive sign for the Badger-Wagen given your ongoing developments (as ever) to come suspension/turbo-wise...

    Lap times seemed very reasonable & consistent to me, so here's hopeing it comes together for the new season ;)

    Tyres fit yea.. just.:lol:

    suspension is tome come.. should have been on for saturday, buy hey ho.. germans say 4 weeks they mean 4.

    Turned a defict from dec into evens, with a melted turb ohousing (laggy as feck) so optomistic it is faster out of the chicanes when spooling properly as it did in Dec.

    too high egt? too lean at top end?
    is the standard ECU`s processor capeable of controlling the car properly at these high outputs, revs temp, extremeties etc?

    sure you will sort it before the racing starts :):thumbup: keep up the good work,,

    melted off track not on track.
    on track EGT's running fine.

    new parts on the way as replacements.
    pulling an all nighter tomorrow to replace it and get it running again. no time to keep buggering abou putting right stuff. lots remaining to do to make race ready.

    you'd have to be some kind of sick masochist to have *wanted* setbacks!

    Good to hear you're getting a good pace when you still have so many areas to improve on - beats the hell out of being half a second short with everything working perfectly
