    I thought I might put up some pics of my race car. Mid last year I had a pretty big accident and the shell was a complete write off.
    this is the old girl before the crash

    Thanks... it was a nice car, not quite as good as I wanted it but hey...... maybe this one will be.

    then the build began. first strip it back to a shell, and get rid of all the old parts, many AE86DC cars have the parts from this girl.

    Roll cage was fitted, and this is about as far as I have got now. I have a long way to go but I will keep this up to date as we go.

    Yeah I was stalled on the start line (the crank angle sensor failed) so the engine just cut out. and a guy from a few rows back couldnt avoid me, it was alot like watching dominos in the rear view mirror, as each car avoided me....... well till I got hit. He tried hard to miss me. He was into third gear at the time, we think he was doing over 100 when he hit me.

    The wheels are Panasports 14x7.
