Thanks all, I'm really happy with the photos! So after my first auto slalom, which was the most fun I've had in the car, I've decided I'll be needing some stickier tires. Debating getting another set of rims, as AO32's wear quite quickly and I drive the car alot. The Dunlops definately didn't like being flogged around cones though! Slight mishap last night, the rubber trim I glued underneath the front valence came off, which would have been minor, except it got sucked into the brake caliper! Had a what no brakes moment, limped her home, and got everything cleaned out and working. Scary though!

Car wouldn't start last sunday, so i spent a while fiddling around with the mixture, and i ended up finding that the choke return spring had come off it's peg, so the jet stuck down richening the mixture. Put in new plugs, gapped the points and then it started up ok. Today I put in slightly leaner needles, and Ken did a final tune and synchronized the carbs. Running very well now, and I expect fuel mileage to increase! Another slalom tomorrow.
