Good work, quicker than me last time I was there. Was running 2:04s full+dipper, mind you I did have kingstar tyres on the back which went off every three laps and turned it into a drift car!
Will be interesting to see what sort of times the turbobeasty does.

Saw your car twice on monday Aidwano

on my way to and from Ruapuna, you were heading in the opposite direction both times. Waved but not sure if you saw.
I was taking it fairly easy after a few niggles with reliability at Teretonga and Levels but still had plenty of fun, was lapping around 1:54-55 for full+dipper (estimated from other cars around me as nobody timed me) and a 1:49 for the GP track while gooning around sideways.
Will post some photos once I finish sorting them out.

Just wondering, are the minilites also supposed to be light? Is that why they are so sought after?

Do it yourself. You can get the red crackle paint from Repco. I think that there is a thread somewhere on here about the prep required.
