First turnover of the engine, no fuel in the system yet - 11/4/2011
IT LIVES....
Missed the first start. Had a dodgy earth on the starter so spinning the engine was hit and miss, when it started we were not recording. Found and fixed the earth and recorded the second start. It fired up within a few seconds and we checked all over for leaks, none were found. Still yet to add coolant so only ran it for a few seconds. The smoke you can see from the engine is the heat proof paint starting to cure.

A little run to get the brakes checked, and to see if anything would fall off. Appeared to go well but on my next visit I will be having a proper look around the car just in case anything is loose.
Run to test my new GoPro camera after visiting Blink Motorsport for a suspension setup.
Track day at Oulton Park in Cheshire. This was my first time and no records were broken, unless you count width of our smiles, this was a great day out and something we will be doing again soon.
Trying to set up an external mic on the GoPro, still needs some work to get rid of the wind noise.
Oops, little brother testing the impact zones on the Westy
Run down to the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show 2013. The car behaved well on its longest trip to-date and we really enjoyed the run. It was great to see so many Westies on the road at the same time, due to some poor camera positioning on my part this is obscured by the top of the screen on almost all the video.
I have wanted to try the Westfield drifting experiance for a long time and when Westfield offered a big discount for a day at Donnington I was in. This really was a grat experiance and one I suspect I will be doing again.
