Handbrake's R35 Build Part 2

[R-PWR]

Mark saw your at today at MM and all I can say is fkn amazing, took my r35 to get it a RWC (moved to qld) and Trent showed me around the place. I'm gonna start looking into getting a set of track wheels and I'm thinking about the ones you have.

Gratz on the car, great work and a great team down at MM, I take my hat off to the lot of you

Will definitely try to get to a few events and make my way to WTAC in Syd

The R35 has been painted and is being prepped for testing on Monday and Tuesday out at QR.

[Snowman]

I take it that means the aero finally turned up?

[handbrake]

Not yet.

[Martin HKS]

Not yet.

Hehehe. Everyone's sweating on the freakin' carbon turning up.

Drew's is alive now and sounds grumpy. If all going well (when the carbon turns up) we will see you out at QR next week.

It's getting exciting isn't it.

Cheers

I wish I could laugh about it.

The hassle with the availability of the carbon parts is beyond a joke and we are far from impressed. Not only has it delayed test days in the past but also means that people involved now will have to work ALL weekend to even get the car to the track for monday testing. Not to mention the additional cost in freight/overtime etc. Not happy Jan!

Unfortunately it always seems to be outside contractors and suppliers who are the hold up whenever the pressure is on.

I hope you guys get it sorted, I'm super keen to see how it performs!

At least you guys have a plan B for parts and can drive it. Drew has no front end at all and it's even due before your parts. Hope he pulls his finger out and finishes the carbon asap. We are starting to get a little nervous!

ide be starting to get a little stabby.

[MercuryMotorsport]

yeah it is only the fact that we have old carbon parts from overseas and standard parts that we are going to be able to test the car before superlap.

When I worked as a small business manager I was project manager for many jobs, some going into the millions of dollars in costs.

Here in Adelaide we found the eastern seaboard states were never on the same 'level' with us timeframe-wise. If the interstate supplier had quoted 8 weeks for manufacture (add in 1 week for delivery, which I always arranged same time order was placed for product) we sort of had to allow say 10 weeks for manufacture, sometimes 12 (50% longer than quoted), simply because the late supply happened ALL the time. It was a guarantee that somewhere along the supply chain in NSW or Victoria a company would end up holding up our project. Main customer was the SA Govt. so it became nothing short of embarrassing. Didnt matter if I was in contact weekly to be updated on delivery timeframe, guaranteed the last week we'd get the 'sorry' speach......

Experienced this over 12 years in my job, it's the one part of the job I dont miss (got sacked once my kneecaps were surgically removed).

I hope you can work it out in good time.

Yeah but their problem is they are dealing with Queenslanders - and we all know they only run on Queensland time.

It's hard to get a lot done when you have to knock off at 3pm for beer'o'clock!
