1000km later....

So I have been on the road for about 6 weeks now. I have clocked up nearly 1000km of driving, mainly through the Royal National Park and down the south coast. I am usually getting out for an early morning run most Sundays with a few mates, but I will take it out on Saturdays or during the week at nights if I can find a reason (any reason will do).

I have had a few problems. The front brakes have frozen on a few times after about an hour of driving. I have been told this is potentially a problem with the push rod in the master cylinder fouling the cylinder just behind the piston. I will pull the master cylinder down when I bleed the brakes next and check. Its easily fixed on the road by releasing the push rod lock nut and rotating it slightly.

Also the water temperature fluctuation is bugging me so I am going to move the sensor block and the filler cap to better spots. I will also switch out the pressure cap for a non blocking cap on the filler which should stop the leaks. A front and rear shock are leaking, and they will have to come off and go back to the manufacturer for new seals.

I need to add clutch stop in the pedal box, and I have decided to fabricate a new throttle pedal mount to move the throttle more to the right, freeing up the foot well so I can get a better feel for the brakes. It makes a lot of noises that are unfamiliar but I am learning how it likes to be driven, and what the limits are.

So far I have added a set of 6 point harnesses for track days....the only real modification so far. I am contemplating an aero screen....but not just yet. I need a new muffler and cat first.

Other than those few issues, I love just running around in it. I have a smile constantly, and people at traffic lights always wind there windows down for a chat. You also get a lot of kids waving at you.
