Nice work on the clutch setup. It looks a beaut :13:

How have you found the PDM so far?

Nice thing is the sump acts as a girdle to help keep everything in place.

 PDM, me no understand, you would have to ask Jim  ;)

Got myself some new Formula 1 tyres (only joking)

These brand new Pirelli P Zeros came up at a price I couldn't resist £250 the pair delivered !

Gives me a chance during testing to if these are better than the Hankooks I have been using this year.

Pirelli are by far the best tyre I have used
Much better than Michelin and good year

We shall see, Craig Attard has some rears but I need to buy some more 12" rims first.

I have a set of late spec 265 BTCC wets I have yet to use so I will stay with those.

Craig has some 305 Pirelli's @ £35 a tyre, hopefully I will need this sort of grip when it comes off the Dyno this time  ;) .

The axle stand didn't (eh) stand a chance

700 bhp @ 7k rpm are strong numbers and nice to see the air intake away from the heat soaked cooling systems
More to come ?!  She's going to be a monster

Pip and Jim worked on it all day Thank you  :sign0098:  :sign0098:  :sign0098:

Now fully mapped 700BHP Flywheel 550 lbft of Torque, so hopefully I wont fight them in the corners like I was having to.

Jim fitted a three stage Boost controller,

1/ Now I'm going Fast 2/ Now this is Stupidly Fast 3/ Now this is Suicidally Fast.

Apparently there's a wet setting, but I think I will only find if this works when I check my overalls when I get out of the car  ;)
