First brief run out
omega 24 v6 - 29/3/09 at 04:20 PM

Well plates are on and the car is on the road.
First impression are the it'll be more than fast enough once the megasquirt is setup. At the moment it's quite lumpy at a few points and I'll need to change my bins at low throttle openings to give better resolution. Also the steering is very twitchy but the toe out and camber are way out as well. Going to set it up and scale it soon. SWMBO I think enjoyed it as well although she didn't want to be photographed ( i didn't blindfold and kidnap the passenger before you ask
Looks a nice day but only around the 4 degrees mark. we had snow flurries yesterday

Sure does look purdy. (excellent choice of colour scheme btw )
What's it like to drive without any form of screen at all?
Did you wear a lid or just sunnies?
Went out this morning for a blat for an hour or so meself. Just wore shades and even though it was about 10 degrees in Plymouth, still ended up with mild brainfreeze!

Goddamn it! I hate seeing finished cars, makes mine seem so far off finishing it's depressing

But seriously though....nice one mate, fingers crossed the weather picks up.
