Cheers for your support, bfb i'll have a closer look once i get it in the garage. i couldnt get the car trailer up my driveway cause it's too steep so i havent been under it yet to fully investigate the specific damage. I'll get back to you as soon as i know for sure!

Cheers mang

yeh i love this car! as for improvements, HAHA Where do i start??? LOL too many things could have been improved, including reducing weight, Mainly my driving!! I have a lot to learn about launching on the track! I would like to invest in some slicks aswell. I just can't wait to get back out there and get focused!!

That's impressive as hell! how much do you weigh? the car will definately be on a diet when i go back. i noticed immediately that the car bogged Heavily at the staging lights. i had 28psi in them. it was like learning to drive all over again. I'm definately going back soon to practice but i havent had a chance to get under the car yet to repair it because i did some damage to my back pushing the car off the line and on/off the trailer to get it home. If any of you race at willowbank, i think the trailer cost me around $60 for like 4 hours rental from the mobil servo just down the road, and it was worth it! Thanks for the tips zco, i do appreciate them and will most likely be putting them to use soon!

Cheers,
