No worries mate, we never cc'd it when we built it last year but we had to skim the tops of the pistons as they were pertruding the top deck too much. but its got to be between 7.2 and 7.6/1 at a guess lol. but id love to know for sure mate

well home and inally sorted from cadwell park.
i booked the friday mlr trackday as a test day, i sat the morning out as the track was very wet and took the time to get set up in the paddock.
went out in the afternoon to learn the car as i hadn't driven it on track with the new spec and i hadn't been on track myself since september last year.
the car feels so much different to how it was, feels so much faster and stronger, handles the best it ever has i was over the moon, i only got about an hour on track and it started to rain, decided to stay out on the 888's to see how it performed in the wet, it was fun!
saturday race day and the rain hadnt eased up, the track was sodden wet with standing water everywhere, decided not to push it as i didn't want to put it in to the barriers, the car was very lively and would wheel spin in every gear.
qualifying and it had dried up, i think the wet weather in the morning had knocked my confidence and winter rustiness were still set in, i qualified 3rd but knew their was time to be made up, my driving and lines were shocking my lap time was 1,minute34.8 seconds
in the final i knew i had to raise my game as the cars who qualified above me were 1.5 seconds quicker than me, it is a very busy field this year so trying to find a clear lap was going to be a key factor, i tried my best to drop back and clear a space but every lap i would get held up
even though i got held up i set a lap time of 1 minute 40.3 seconds
giving me 1st place by 1/10th of a second
a massive thanks to all of my friends who help out
and msd and airtec, with out the new goodies i would have been well down the pack
some pics and a couple of vids
