Thanks mate....some tidying todo in places....but never meant to about show more concerned at GO !

Hopefully all ok after test sess later. Sticking original wheels on back til i confirm car can run with less offset.

right apologies no photos or vids yet as mate left before i could get em and ran outta time to even think about charging go pro...so soz...

Just an afternoon sess so was frantic this morning due to being behind yesterday.

My postie absolute legend....had the sensor ready for me to pick up at 9 am from sorting office!...

Well get on track and warm tyres for a lap and then back end loose real struggling...3rd lap i get the black flag!!!!!........jesssssus...what have i done! Tank vent apparently spraying fuel over track!. On inspection stuck open and capilary action over my ns rear wheel....Some pit lane fixes and 1 of the marshall checked car over and informed me i needed a different system...Bought it all from Merlins who where super helpful as i just took car up and pointed.

then back on track and all good....rear grip better.....trying different lines!
On the straights its frikin quick hitting 5th gear through folly....not getting 6th??? maybe a diff change need todo some research....

had a mate spotting on a few bends which gave me some insight told me to get on the power earlier at quarry!.....next lap i spun at quarry and hand a trip on the grass lol....

coolant temp is perfect. Oil is getting to 115 after 7 laps....half a lap short shifting back down to 100 and then as many laps to repeat....gonna have a play tomoz nothing too drastic but a shroud.

Car is sweet no leaks no rattles....sounds awesome....

reckon a quick time in there with some slicks and more seat time....nothing over took me today but playin with the big boys monday!

picked up all my vinyl and series sponsor stuff.

few jobs tomoz after a well deserved layin.

Not bad result for a shake down day. Good job.

You know, those wheels would look awesome in gold

Lol its not a subaru! I may be be going down to 13" if they clear my front calipers....slicks are cheaper...need to get the offset bang on so i can go wide on rear with 13 in wheel 8j. My new wheels are great on the front but max width is a195 on the rear due to offset.

Apparently i managed 1.19 over 3 laps...which is ok hoping for 1.16 but on 888s learning car and being very cautious going over avon rise....in all the cars i driven round combe this is the fastest ive approached avon rise and tbh found it scary! No idea of speed too focused to look.

my back is killing me today....gonna get some foam for that seat!

If your overal wheel / tyre size is large you will have changed the gearing. In effect you have lengthened each gear, which is probably why your not hitting 6th gear.

What ratio is the diff?

Oh and forgot to say thanks to Carl and the guys at Hayward Rotary! Engine is sweet....sound is amazing.

theres a 4.1 in there Grant....what would you recomend as its english axle there are loads to chose from..was only using 3 4 and 5th for abit on longest straight....and in allfairness gear changes came at the wrong time on circuit....if i could use 4 5 and 6th ideal.
