Enjoying seeing the journey with your hatch. Did you do any coding with the traction control stuff? .

Well the car is out of the basement and coming together, should see it running by the end of next week at the latest.

Then to tint the windows which I hate but its to hide the roll cage thats getting built and velo race seats that I'm installing.

Project sleeper is almost done.

I'll get some pics tomorrow as the engine should be dressed by then.

She is home and already had 2 oil changes sub 100km.

One when it reaches full temp, 2nd oil change after a 30 min dyno run in.

Now I'll do 400km and another oil change this weekend.

Purring like a pussy cat.

My engine builder is amazing and thanks to Advan helping me put it back together as I'm to busy with
the family business atm working 12hrs/6 days a week.

She is dirty as a pig and needs a bath this weekend, might swings past the local car show tomorrow.

People were in awe and disbelief by this little hatch tonight.

Judges were blown right out of the water and I had a small crowd around the car most of the night.

Need to tidy up the car but the aim is to be a total sleeper, can't be like the 1m3 as it has to fly under the radar and destroy egos.

First car show and top engine bay, nowhere up to my standards but everyone loved it but will be back and better next time.

Final run it finished this weekend and will be changing to synthetic oil this week.

Car was put through its paces all weekend testing its reliability, it didn't let us down once.

Car is running flawlessly, she is quick and much faster than my 1m ever was.

Must be the little extra weight.
