goldmember update. IT LIVES!

[hallsie]

Goldmember made it out onto the road last Friday, and all I can say is WOW!

Planted, responsive, powerful, AWESOME!



Now, Ive had a Tuscan 2 and a few wedges both V8 and V6, but Goldmember handles and drives like a new car, in fact it feels better than my VW oil burner!

To say Im pleased as punch is a bit of on understatement to be honest.

So, I took her to the MOT station the long way round, and once there it was quite obvious that she was overfuelling, so the fella had a play with the idle jets, but still couldnt get the CO's below 9.9, so Ive now borrowed a gas analyser to get the emissions
sorted for next weekend.

Ive had the original wheels powdercoated as I didnt eventually like the look of the minilite 15's, and in keeping with the theme of the car, up close they look awesome!

Well done Stu - looks great

My friend has a Tuscan 2 and also a Taimar and now has the enviable task
of deciding which one to take on our France Trackday trip in May

At least I have an easy choice - Wedge or walk!!!!!

All the best Mate

Its got to be the Tuscan 2, simply because it was MADE to go round tracks and handles superbly!

Im so chuffed with the way the Taimar has turned out, Im going to look for another one to do once the Wedge has had a new chassis!

Im also going to powder coat the spare chassis Ive got so that I can do quick swap overs in the future.
