1303Steve

Hi

Our club had a track day recently, I got the opportunity to hitch a ride in a WRX powered 1303, excuse my shaky camera work, its hard to hang on and take photos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkTU29T5vHE

Gotta love that dump valve... so when will someone be sat in the passenger seat of yours doing some shaky camera work? Grin

Hi

Dave, you have 1st dibs, I had the camera set on viewfinder, not the screen and when I got in the car I forgot that I had full face helmet on so I had to guess the correct place to have the camera.

I don't know if anyone if anyone else has done any filming from the passenger seat but when you zoom in, it seems to make the action slower, it felt way quicker than it looked.

Dave, it is Pauls old 1303, I don't think he hasn't changed anything at all, he is very good pedaller.

The track is about 1.5 hours south of Sydney at Marulan http://www.mdtc.com.au/

This what the WRX bug looks like from outside

This my sons aircooled powered bug that we both drove on the day

I like the Bug, despite the fact it's a scone gobbler

, very discrete!
Have you got a link to its built thread at all?

JP - you're not very quick with my tool mate!
