Weekend before the race...part 1

We have guest drivers... and we now have an international team of guest mechanics - meet Lennart - without whom we would have been in a tight spot! Thanks Lennart for coming all the way from Holland to help us out! (ok, here's here in Japan to do other stuff too, but we really appreciate your help!)


I mentioned last time that we had to replace our Aragosta coilovers for slightly used Teins...


Here's the damaged Aragosta...


So what was Miguel up to - upgrading our front brakes, by adding brake duct cooling!


Miguel insisted on these NACA style ducts. Of course, makes sense to me!


Here it is, the tubing


Extending the tubing to the brakes...


New brake pads:


New rear rotors:


Spring for the oil filler cap, as required by regulations:


Finally got the rear view mirror re-mounted, very clever Lennart!




Sunday - Aki, Sumi-san, Russell to clean up and re-sticker the car, and organize the parts floating around loose in the car...
