OK im back..wow that was a long break from building the car ..but you know how it is life sometimes gets in the way...WELL i have discovered the pedal box i made is waaay to wide nowhere to put your brake foot so i am re manufacturing a new one this time it will have a foot rest..thank god i only have 2 pedals to worry about..yes its an AUTO..blah blah blah
but thats just what i have to work with ..its only gonna be for autocross and the odd club track day.. and im old and lazy..changing gears is to hard
oh thats right its gonna be a fully manualized auto with a shift kit and a HUGE TRANS COOLER ....Kinda enjoying tinkering around with the locost in the garage again ..i missed it

Kiwi Dave..where the hell do i put my brake foot ???

Yo Dave :!: :!: :!:
Good to hear from ya, Mate! And yes, by all means let go of that sheep (she ain't even all that pretty...) and get your arse back into that garage and do some work on the Slocost!!! We gots racin' to do!!! (Otherwise, how are we gonna tell outrageous lies about how fast we were???)

Seriously, Buddy, it's good to know you're able to tinker around in the garage. How's the back feeling these days? Saw some pics on FB of li'l Scooter, who ain't so little any more. He's a good lookin' guy! :mrgreen:

Keep after it, keep us posted BUT don't do anything to have a relapse, OK? If you need to move something heavy, get Scooter to do it, he's big and strong!!! (Can he outrun a sheep? Might make that whole "catching your date" thing go better...)

Regards-
JDK
