Yes, stock box with shortshifter :)
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

About the shifting.... I have to learn to shift very carefully cos that "throughshaft" is still heavy and it is very accurate to shitf 2-3. When I have it made out of lighter material, it doesent need so much force and carefullnes to make that movement from left (1,2) to centergears(3,4).  Full acceleration, 2nd gear @9000 rpm, trying to hit 3rd and miss it to 1st. I think the engine may say brab from very high.

I have new springs now at front 250lbs, but i think they should be even stiffer... 275lbs?? Well see after first test. It is hard to estimate right spring because of the shock angle and corner weight is stil just a hunch. Shocks should be shimmed a bit quicker at slowspeedside.

Here is pic of propshaft, original leight and not-that-long-shaft. A big thanks to Janne (lada rallycrosscar driver) and his colleg to shorten my shaft...  who else has a foot too long shaft??

Another pic is from the office, where we can find a  new oil temperature indicator which is so sexy coloured, it actually gives 3 hp more power.  Colour havent yet effect to fanmail pile.

Parts still missing: rearspoiler (comes in next week), oil pressure light sensor(06.05),  new rearendgear 5.125 (next winter) , motorcycle brakes(next winter) and clutch and flywheel.

The wing is attached with ducktape and needs a bit of sanding. I just put it on late last night for the looks. It has some  :angry5: taste.
