That quest for milliseconds motorsport bug is deep in the soul :)
Any particular goal, or just faster than before?

The concept of “Leave it alone while it’s going really well” has never found root in KS’s psyche.

Always 'Go Faster', but KS like to tinker even more than me!

Finally got the last drop of rain out of the Lola after a VERY wet Loton Park hillclimb as Jonathan will attest.

Tricky on slicks, but got one fast (ish) run done at the end of Sunday.

Last event at Prescott in a few weekend's time then what to do this winter. (?)

I have a very simple plan.
Hopefully to go faster, or rather as fast as I used to be, that would be a result. :)

Fitted a Rinashi phone holder - easiest mod I've ever done and easily reversible too.

Can't believe I haven't got one before and just in time for Spa 6 hours in 3 weeks... 8)

No it's just a (strong and adjustable) MagSafe phone holder - I have a cigarette socket USB-C charging adapter and a short Lightning cable which will charge the phone for me

Ah ok - similar to my set up thanks. I saw one last week that replaced the cigarette lighter with a holder and wireless charger - good but not what you would call cheap

Project for yesterday was to install a ramp…

It’s still continuing today and will continue tomorrow :)

SO heavy so unboxing and positioning it all is just really hard graft. Engine crane essential.

Went to a local tractor place for some oil thinking I’d get it moving, even not bolted down, then realised its electrical connection is 16 amp… so off to CEF tomorrow for a commando socket and isolator. Luckily the control box is under my household fuse panel so a short run from one of the bigger RCDs will sort that.

Sure it will be awesome once it’s in :)

Seems Rinashi do a wireless charging upgrade for existing phone holder installations:

https://rinashi.com/products/classic-po ... ng-1965-98

for the same price as the phone holder but still C$60 shipping from Canada, albeit very quick (received mine in 3 days).
