Spit, the SE

Postby two40 » Sun Nov 29, 2009 6:33 pm

Yesterday I picked up Fuzzlet's old SE. It's conservatively modded with intake, exhaust, cooler and brakes. Couple of other things as well but basically fairly stock and clean. Runs well as to be expected and corners like nothing I've owned and that includes two go-karts. I went for a Natio drive this morning and looooved it. I'm particularly impressed with the feedback while cornering. You can feel the traction breaking and correct yourself and never feel out of control even while on edge. It's brilliant. But I'm preaching to the choir here.

My plans are to enjoy it as is for now and track it soon. Might make my way to one as a spectator first.

I'm sure I'll get the itch to modify it in no time. On the cards will be the usual ecu, injectors etc. All in good time. For now it's top down and smiles from A to B.

Oh, almost forgot. I've never named any of my cars but I thought it would be appropriate here as it kind of just happened. When my mother saw this car she was shocked by the small size. When I started washing it she said, 'Why bother with the hose, you can spit and wipe to wash it.' So there you have it, meet Spit. Oh God that's a shocking name. :lol:

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Yeah finally snagged one. The colour was irresistible when I saw it and the mods were on the right track. :)

Not sure about Pete but it's not going to be another 5. :( So he says anyway. :twisted:

Looks good.

Time to ditch Pete's number plates and get your own.

Come down to Wakefield on Sunday and have a look at the Club day. Then try and stay away. :D

Nice pics of your new SE two40. Obviously there are some quiet streets around your way!
