Ya, its weird thing, if you start a loud car, people soon comes to see it. ;) Especially if car sounds unusual...

We NEED brapbrap videos ;)

Real pleased to say that after yesterdays huge effort from Powergains spending all day yesterday sorting out  initial mapping and systems checks the RX-8 will make its debut at Brands on Monday.

I will have Jaydee and Kerim present to map the car on track and possibly Carl who supplied the engine

After we have run the engine in at 6000 we hope to raise the rev limit to get a feel what the car will be capable of once testing starts in earnest.

Anyone got a "running in please pass sticker" :mrgreen:

That\'s great news Clive, hope there are no running in gremlins and you can quickly get up to race pace :burnout

Make sure you have plenty of fuel and premix with you as I can\'t see more than 6mpg with your heavy foot:):D

Flames and that slightly angry idle, this is going to be good.

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!
