The wing...
I've been dragging my heels on the wing issue. RSR wing is way too big and looks ridiculous on a narrow body RS clone, so I am not putting it on the car, end of story. Need to find a low budget cheap fibre glass whale tail or 3.2 wing for a bargain, or settle for a duck tail.
The paint shop also screwed up on matching the colour, so it's slightly off on the bumpers, but to hell with that, this is a budget racer and not a concourse garage queen. Besides, the colour difference will be hardly noticeable when the stickers go on.
More low budget scrounging coming soon...

Need to think about front hood pins for mine. Great looking car, how about some interior shots. Merry Christmas

Hey Randy, compliments of the season!
Haven't had anything to contribute 928-wise for a while, but I'm hoping to change that. I'm planning to take Fat Bully out of storage and racing it again, soon!

We've entered the Zwartkops International, South Africa's "Goodwood Festival" due in two weeks. I haven't really raced much last year, so really looking forward to this one.

We've had excellent fun racing this little car over the past two weekends, Zwartkops International & Killarney in Cape Town. I'll post an update soon...

Here's a vid of one of the Cape Town races. You can see Table Mountain in the backdrop.
Mixing with cars that were 1 to 2 seconds a lap quicker, driving defensively and sliding on old dumpster slicks from 2011, massive under-steer in T2 and getting out-braked everywhere, but still having bucket loads of fun...
