More done last night. Steve fitted new CV joints for me, shiny! The old ones were really bad. Last time out on track they gave some really bad juddering. With them off the car you could see that one was very notchy and the other was seized up. Both inners are fine though.

Pic of the bay before we started plugging things back in. So far I don't think I have lost anything major

I think I have a few extra vacuum ports on the intake manifold that I need to plug up.

Power/weight testing on the 9th of April with a 2 hour track session later that day. The 1st race is the 17th of April.

Before it goes on track I'd love it to get an MOT, a wheel alignment and maybe put the S300 on it and get it tuned. I would have deffo got it tuned but it turns out I need a new helmet as my one will not meet the certification for HANS :(
