Yep still buzzing  :13:

I have to mail the second race camera card off to my friend Philip for editing, but he was there for the first race and had his camera facing backwards and has that card to play with first.   

All the best Clive

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Nice one Clive, very pleased for you.

re japi

Actually, now Im very interested to see how she launches off the line! Previous setup was, may I say, not so fast :)

Are you alloved to change geometry and chassis/gradle in that glass?

I am sure the better gear ratios and the tyres that work pretty good cold and warm quickly, should have made a big difference.

re japi

That start was actually pretty good! Seems like its really easy to launch off the line, compared to previous setup. Didnt spin the wheels so much and/or stall... Unfortunately there where some stupid boyracer fourbangers in front blocking  ;) :))

Gear rations seems to work really well with that engine. Revs stay in power and torque range much better now...?

Overall balance seems to be quite good too. Tyres work well with that setup

But I´m sure that Clive is happy with those updates, cause from that clip even I can see that car really has changed from previous setup  :sign0098:
