Nah, its not registered, but that doesn't stop me from driving around the neighborhood :P

About the rules, your able to drive your car how its supposed to. I'm not saying that people here drive like maniacs, pedal to the metal all the time. You can cruise down the highway at 140, and no ones going to say anything. Its a real "drivers" country, where as Australia is like a prison when it comes to driving.

Oh that i know..
Ive been to europe... 200km/h is the way it is and i tell you what, cars in Europe feel so much different and the roads are amazing.
I've been to Kuala Lumper, twice, beautiful country, hoping to go again possibly this year with the family. Got to stay in Penang aswell!
Will have to come by!

Are you able to register your car the way it is or are the rules more standard to Japan where you need a RWC every so many years, no modifications on a road driven car etc etc?

[felixR]

Nice update Eddie.

Are you going to test drive it as-is at Sepang anytime soon or work on it straight away?

They don't allow race cars to be road registered here. There are ways around that, but the thought of driving around KL with no air-con won't be fun.

I'm confirmed heading to the track on the 20th, but if my tyres arrive before that, then i'll try to fit another day in. I have to wait til my workshop is complete before we can break it down and rebuilt it from scratch.
Sometimes i wish i didn't bother building it in Sydney. I would have saved so much money, save so much time, and gotten a better car out of it,

All the best for the 20th, can't wait to see more updates.
