Still coming along.... re mounted fire bottle where I can reach it belted in

Dashboard out - this was a pretty big pain in the ass, but hopefully it will go back in without any hassle. Took about 2 hrs to get the thing out and I'm pretty sure that I didnt break anything while doing it - now, if I can remember where all the screws and bits go when it comes time to put it back in (3 weeks from now), it will be a christmas miracle.

why didn't you put it further forward? is there a rule on where you must place it? i'd hate to lose by an inch to a guy who attached his to his grill.

Well, I'd rather not mount it up inside the bumper, because then its easily crushed.

transponders are just for lap timing and # of laps run. Finishing order is done by sight

not perfect... anything within a few inches is going to be called a tie by the timing booth's vantage point. dumbass...
