I defo enjoy watching track days rather than 1/4 mile drag racing.

I enjoy taking part in track days more.

Yeah that was mine mate. Forgot how slow the mt75 is at changing gear. Kept balking first to second if I tried rushing it. It's only running 5psi so I should be able to wack the boost up a bit for next year.

Told you it was squatting well. I was next in line behind the Audi when it did its run and started slipping its clutch. Take it that's going to be expensive ? I'll stick my pics and vids up in the relative section.

Your mate's t5s looked well.

Euro car parts offer an luk clutch for 120 quid believe it or not but he is getting an updated one as its pushing 490 bhp. He does ecu mapping for a living and its his demo car.

He was gutted the clutch went as It was his second quarter mile he had ever done and he really wanted to improve on his first run.
