Not only lives... But drives

Again... Another brief update, first test drive. Recorded 0.7 miles doing this four times:-) all went well



Steering wheel is too big still. I can barely operate the pedals. Will literally have to install it for the day of the test. 

Enjoy.

  1. Nice, bet you are pleased to have a test drive.

    I used a 320mm steering wheel, smaller would give more leg room but then it also makes the steering heavier...

  2. Thanks for the comments Dave - yes, delighted and a great reward for months of frenzied activity! I've got a 285mm steering wheel with a flat bottom and a quick-release boss. The main boss didn't fit so a replacement has arrived today, hopefully that will be the answer to the problem. Still got to try and figure out what to do on IVA day though! I will try winding the pedals all the way in on their screws and see if that htelps.

  3. Fit the BMW wheel and squeeze yourself in. Or get her indoors to pilot it through IVA?
