Tip of the day

How to avoid paint in your screw thread?

Use regular (cheap) ear plugs to fill the holes. Works perfect.

Some before and after pictures

On these pictures you can see what many years of belgian roads can do to a Mazda MX5. To erase all the years of use I'm sandblasting almost all parts of the suspention that have to be reused.
Add some primer and to finish, 3 layers of black paint.

Delivery date announced

I just received the delivery date for my kit.
My kit will be ready on 10 October for pick up at westfield. Most likely 12 or 13 October the belgium importer ( Oracle Cars ) will pick up the car for me and deliver it to my home.

My other hobby


An other hobby of me is FunCup racing. This weekend our team managed to run a nice 2de place in a race on the historic street circuit of Chimay (http://www.circuit.be/)
With this second place we make or 3th place in the championship stronger with only one race to go this year.

My job in the team is the pitwall infrastructure (timing pc and software) and managing the pitwall tactics during the race so that the cars get in and out the pit in time and don't run out of fuel.
