I've taken a dump that's weighed more than that!

good to know that its sub 1 ton! I wish more cars were made like that today

that's awesome bro.

good to know there's 200hp/ton potential.

whilst i like driving cars that are light and zippy, i think i'd rather smash my face in a big cushy airbag, rather than a tiny 3 spoke solid steering wheel.

Can't wait to see this one in person at Wakefield in 2 weeks...

Just read this thread cover to cover, amazing work and care taken.

Hows the tuning coming along?

Thanks mate

Car is fast, most issues are sorted. Hopefully I will get my race clutch and engine mounts this week, then we will be on and cracking for the track

I'm glad you guys are having timing, should give me a decent yardstick for future potential. See you trackside.

So after a bit of drama with customs, finally got this this week.

Had a late one on Monday night with Mastertech Beau and we got the clutch and race engine mounts in.

Car is loads more responsive, you can hold on in the gears longer and get into it earlier. 3rd gear is epic! Its virtually undriveable in the wet!

Bizzarely the harder mounts and clutch seems to have fixed some of the cabin rattles!

It actually is not that harsh to drive with the clutch, its in and not engaged, or out and on and cracking. Needs a bit more revs from a standing start, thats it. Only stalled it twice so far

See you at Wakefield, cant wait.
