The trip to NTR was a good start, but there was still more to 

go on the agenda.

The rolling road found some of the missing parts of the

power curve, and that should help the Bear out of the

slower corners, his Mallory laptime compromised by his

struggles coming out of the hairpin.

With the engine hopefully more or less sorted, the Bear gets

all excitable and puts shiny plug leads on it, but we suspect

this was more for the sake of appearance than any real gain.

To go with the new xxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxxx he needs an xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxx, and the fabrication on this is lengthy, the work of a couple of weeks. But having achieved it he has in-car xxxxxxxxxx of the xxxxx xxxxxxx, and when combined with the xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx with their much greater xxxxx xxx xxxx it should allow a tremendous improvement once he's learned to use it right. Of course extensive testing will now be needed.

New brake lines to replace those he destroyed by letting them flap free and rub on the tyres, pads all round, the downside to cheap pads being frequent replacement, but the upside to frequent replacement that they are cheap...

It is hoped that the xxxxx xxx should allow better xxxxx xxxxxxx and xxxx, and ultimately later xxxxxxx, which should be an improvement in all situations.

As an unexpected bonus, this also lost another 5kg out of the car. Together with the 8kg we found hiding in the xxxxx, that's all helpful. Next step will be a set of xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx, and a xxxxxxxxxxx front xxxxxxx, but those upgrades are a way off yet. Beyond that and we will be running up against minimum weight, even with a solidly-assembled pilot.

Other than work to make a new xxx xxxxxx xxx assembly, she's good to go and play at Sillystone. Actually, given we're taking a Bear, should it not be Jellystone Park?

Mmm, lots of torque. Creamy.

If we can just get it to hover like this we save a bundle of rotational weight, and the tyres will last forever.

Don't show Chris Palmer this picture, he loses control of his bladder when Bear gets his knees out.

Shiny.
