[quote author=Kjeld link=board=project;num=1102128446;start=435#449 date=06/13/05 at 15:48:04]Yikes... Just wondering if you have considered a roll bar Costas?  You might check in with Marie. From the looks of it, the sooner the better.<br><br>Next, helmets are nice too.

DSP is allready looking for alternative solutions.<br><br>A helmet? Believe me, if the car rolls upside down (thunders and lightnings), and considering my 1.95 in height, the helmet will do a lot of easier the breaking of my neck.  :(

I guess its my bad destiny...<br><br>Today at the same parking spot as 2 months ago, while I was parked, a Renegade Jeep while trying to park in front of me, hit my front bumper and damaged the colour a lot and if the pedestrians didnt yell at him to stop he would have parked all over my engine. Once more I have to go through the all hated routine of painting it again, insurances and all this BS. <br><br>Bad karma? My friends said, just wish thats the worst that ever gonna happen to sh4rk...

Thats what happens when you are late on brakes at a racing circuit... :oops: (Had to brake at 150m mark but instead did step on brake a little after 100m mark), the result was a destroyed front tyre, imagine that all the rubber was off and all the side readings of the tyre had dissapeared.

Sorry Costas, but even manually editing the database wont let me fix this :(

I will do the best I can to repair this thread. The fact it's 430 replies makes it a bit of a big beast to work with as it is.

Back to Info now.

The FasteR Perfomance Magazine review on Sh4rk will be published on the September Isue which will be on sell at the end of August. The blaim for the delay is on me because due to the loss of my beloved mother I didint feel like doing anything with the car for some period.

There is a drugster event going on this weekend and I am sponsored to take part as well but once again I dont feel like doing so. Perhaps in the future.

I will be back as soon as possible with more videoclips and data.

A very interesting project young fella! I've just sat here and read through the entire thread (after not being able to visit for many months). Keep posting the links to the videos so we can see the progress.

I always thought you were a mad bugger on the old Lotus BBS but this just confirms it. Well Done!!
