Custom made HEL braided lines replacing the stock metal lines to compliment the hoses already in place.

Impressive, most impressive ..... as Mikes mate DV would say!

Is that an ABS controller I spy in the latest pic or do my eyes deceive me?

Yeah. We keep the ABS installed. The donor had ASR so we had to use the original car's one.

I guess that keeps things closer to stock. Just watched you on Motors TV in the second race at Knockhill. You seemed to be driving well and had third place under control until sliding slightly wide at the last corner on the penultimate lap. Not sure if Thirlwall tagged you Plato style? ;-)

Nah, I just made a mess of it! Came in too hot on a very defensive line and tried getting the power down too hard instead of parking it on the apex and making him bump start me.

9th and 10th this weekend. Not bad fresh out the box and with a 31 car field!

George was taking it easy with her in race 1 which cost him (he backed out to avoid contact and lost places because of it). In race 2 he got sandwiched between 2 other cars and bundled back then figured sod it both sides are damaged now anyways so fought back to 10th.
