Took the car out for it's first decent run today. Very impressive. Suspension needs some fine tuning, but boy does the thing have some go. It manages to break traction in 3rd and it motors along nicely at 100kmph in 5th with little exhaust noise, but then you give it a bit of right foot and the whole car comes alive.
Got a few things to sort out, but it was nice to take it out. Started out in the middle of a busy street with a flat battery, so within a few minutes of stopping I had a person come and help me push it off the road, then I had this lovely elderly lady give me a lift to the mechanics shop 1km away where I purchased a new battery. She then gave me a lift back to my car where my heavily pregnant wife was waiting.
Put the new battery in and we were off. Ride height needs to come up 5-10mm to stop the wheels hitting the guards though. I love it when your accelerating at a fast rate, then you put your foot down a bit more, then its huge grin time.
