Update.
Had my first run of 2013 at the Mt Cotton Test and Tune. I had a few issues with the car which resulted in me only getting 5 runs of a possible 15 or so. First 3 runs went we and I was starting to push a little. On the 4th run the car lost power going up the first hill. (0.33 seconds on the video). It was then fine for the rest of the run. On the 5th run it did the same thing. This time worse. All the lights came onto the dash. I managed to get back to the pits to find the alternator belt missing.
After a little diagnosis we found alternator bushes flogged out which must have caused the belt the come off. I have order new bushes and 2 new alternator belts.
Other than that problem to car was going well. The tyres are the biggest let down. I have no where near the amount of grip I need.
Next on the list is the roll cage which is finally booked in for the 18th of February.
As well as new tyres, I want to get some new 90mm studs all round as I current have a mix match of studs and 25mm spacers up front to increase track a little more.
Here is the video of my 4th run. Camera is a brand new Go-Pro Hero 3 Black.
