You flash bastard 
the trailor is class and the car's even better 
Why the need for the solenoid valve on the gearbox?
Do you find temperatures ok while out on track? I have no experience myself, but have heard people say numerous times that kit cars dont suit being turbo'd and suffer with overheating problems on track, not sure if it's the usual scaremongering or not. I would love to turbocharge mine when its finished.

I have the option of the Electric button on top of the gearstick to select neutral.

my little sister
Towing it with a newish double cab Ford Ranger at the moment. I quite like it actually. Makes me feel all rugged and manly!
but am trying to find a newish Crew cab Transit recovery beavertail as I always like to take 2 cars to a trackday.... Like Hens teeth with crew cab though. So will probably end up having one built.

Lee,
Have you still got Willwood front calipers / Poly A pads ?
If you have.......can you comment on what the pads work like from cold and on track when being hammered ?

I do yes.
weirdly.... the guy who has the car right now working on it (I pick it up tomorrow morning!!!) just called to say he thought the pads lack bite from cold.
Personally I have never found that....
they are fine. And certainly upto the job when hot on track.
