Thanks for the feedback.
Im still pumped after driving this amazing track. Here is a link with a lap of the track in a Formula holden
http://www.irace.net.au/news/index.php
I located the oil cooler on the right side of the engine bay, mounting onto the cage but do not have a diff cooler as yet. I will fit one as i was having trouble with 4th gear selection after a 4 laps.
The front end is too low but will be focusing on geometry next week.

Its not the demo car as such but they do leave it in the yard through the day to attract some interest which it has been doing.
I will be fitting the camera this weekend so I can actualty see out of it!

I didnt get much footage of the track day but the little that was taken I have put togther with some pictures to make up this little clip. It is only of the viewing area for spectators with no incar footage. If I had in car I could not show it due to restrictions enforced by the owner, but it does give an idea of the track.

Thanks RdS. Im pretty happy with what I have done with the minute resources I have but still has more to be done before Im satisfied. At least its running..
I will dyno the car soon to see whats going on with A/F ratios for one.
Handling is an issue but will be sorted soon enough.
The rear camera is fitted so I can see whats behind!
The next lot of pic's will be of the wing,undertray,exhaust relocation and perhaps a diffuser.

Just an update on the car. Fitted the wing today with a few more parts coming in this week including new roll centre adjusters, sway bar links and a brake upgrade. The car will be all but complete and ready to start having some fun no track. I fabricated a brace which is welded to the chassis of the car then protrudes threw holes cut into the boot lid. The wing brackets then bolt to these uprights. This allow all the force produced by the wing to be sent to the chassis with no energy loss by mounting to the boot. Some pic's of the wing

I will sort something out later this week. It pretty straight forward and works well but I would not recommend it if the car is for regular driving as it blocks most of the boot area.
