It sounds like a Scalextric car on steroids
Going to take a bit of getting use to the dog box more the down shifts than up.also going to put some more sound deadning round the tunnel aswell.
Got a bit of a vibration from the prop but think its just the center bearing out of line slightly.

Thats easy . Then you buy it

Got the vibration sorted this morning and got another 30 miles on it starting to get hang of the box but not tried any clutchless changes yet as got a 4k limit for running in.

Looking good. You must have almost forgotten what it looked like lol

Bet you can't wait to get it mapped properly. Think you'll make Crail okay then?

Alan had siad he advised putting it up the 1/4 mate

no point rushing things now, as the most important thing is getting it all ran inand some power from it and making sure nothing falls off
