.55 Motorsport housing my dear friend. Dont feel any difference to a .48 in spool-up time but has the benefit of great power at the top.
And in all honesty the space on the EFE is too short to show a big power 2WD its potent.
But I hope you will get it finished in time Marco. Its a very long time since a 2WD won any prices at EFE. (from what I remember last time was in 2000 Landgraaf). Next year I will be hopefully a lot more serious at the sprints instead of listening hours and hours to some
crying over his story how he had killed his engine...

That's a good challenge for me
I know it will be very hard to beat 4x4's but i hope i can have good reaction time
Did you only run on lower boost last time at EFE??

Hi Marco, just now reading your post. On EFE only first run was on high boost but clutch didnt cope and began to slip... oeps, to much torque. So the 2 runs after that were on low boost and clutch was ok.

yust about saw your post marco a bit late sorry
but it seems that it was not build properly and the guy i bought the car from drove the car for about 4000 miles with that engine before it blow up
he then bought a rebuild motor but couldent get it running properly
so he was fad up with it and 8 mounts later i bought it and fix some things (wel some, you could say alot of things
and now its good
so thats nice
what parts you searching for marco???
