Regarding the seat - check out kart seats, we talked to the guys at F440 about those after the comp and we can probably get a reasonable price on one... maybe even a demo to use temporarily for fitting.

I will be contacting a shop in Victoria that has a chassis dyno. I'm hoping to get a good rate on dyno time and just get some information on preparation. I'll report on my findings asap.

I am going to contact Brian at PE and get a quote for our FI system. Only thing I need is the part numbers for the Denso ign coils - again, can someone get those numbers for me? (Off the 2002 engine).

If we have already received the $2500 from Rich, could I get reimbursed for the registration fee? It was $824.74 cdn.

Thanks,
Colin
