Few updates for the June

Like always, no big updates for some time, and some consolidate update for the period. Here we go.

Under vehicle inspection after airfield "track day" revealed source of clunking noise . It seems, that being a zombie, I have forgot to tighten all four wishbone bolts. They were just slided in and nut put on the first few threads. Result - one lost nut and almost lost bolt (OMG!):
Everything was fixed and tightened properly. Did a few small jobs (leaks, cable fixings), not worth to mentioning. One which really improved something was adding flexi to the exaust pipe. Measurements:
And flexi welded in place:
Now I'm not loosing exaust (and burning handbrake cables) in the middle of track :). Ok some sound and effects are lost, but at least everything stays in place

Some videos (AVI) from local track day (yes, I'm slow). Two times passed by a race prep'ed civic with pro driver. One was really scary. Desperatelly need any suspension :(. Now it feels like I'm driving the boat with no engine, brakes, steering...
