The super soft fronts and soft rears combination will not be available for the Boyndie round, so I have asked for the Soft fronts and medium rears to be sent up.

Still have to get the quick rack fitted by SPS, it's sitting there waiting for me.

Shift light arrived also.

Got some feedback that the performance box data logger has now been repaired and is on route back to me.

Things I am thinking about now is fitting a clutch switch to feed back to the Emerald to enable the full throttle gear change facility. This momentarily reduces the revs when the cluth is pushed. Another facility on the emerald that would be a shame not to use.

The datalogger and the high capacity battery for the video worked a treat. Shame about the enging going bang.

The car is with SPS to get a 1.9 bottom end fitted. There is no head damage thankfully. The head, which should be food for 170+ hp will stay as is, mated to a 1.9 Scholar bottom end.

If the planned purchase of the Disco tow van goes ahead as planned, I will have loads of space for carrying spares etc with me to the meetings.

I have been trawling through Ebay for bits and you do occasionally find stuff that you think "that would be handy to have"..

So what spares would be worth carrying to race meetings that can be fitted on site. And also what tools would be worth getting a hold of.
