I felt that too, with thicker shock oil the car tends to handle better and better when you raise the tire shore. But in full throttle sweeper the car bit "nervous"(Inside front tire having on/off ground).

Great song and the second part of the song fits totally with F1 racing

Well, I don't know where that originally came from but I know that it's an old English expression.

Is your engine really dead?
Mine's looking a lot better now - I just need a new glow plug and then I can do a quick check to see if everything is running ok.

Ey... Baanbrekers. I know that track from a game!
Maybe a good tip for everyone; if you want to virtually drive on 5 Dutch tracks, including MACH, go to www.bigscaleracing.com and order the game.
You can also download the demo which features only one track, which is the track closest to where I live. One drawback... you'll be driving those sluggish lawnmowers.
Oh and another thing... I may be getting my hands on a MTX-3 soon. Does anyone want to buy it for $55?

Crankshaft and conrod - everything else seems AOK - the sleave is still tight, so the engine is bearly broken in. Just need to get a glow plug - as I forgot to order a spare one - one is on its way.

The piston land sleave looked like they had small scratches on them, but I think this was more the brass colouring from the sleave due to the run-in cycle.
I just need to get it fired up on the bench and then see how it behaves.

Fortunately, the big pieces of metal stayed in the bottom of the engine and only damaged parts of the casing - shouldn't affect the engine much.
