Late update... Pre PVS

Oil changed before mapping



Car was mapped by Mark at Owen developments again to tweak the changes, he did a great job and this is what I ended with

550 @ 1.6 bar with 410lbft

400 @ 0.9 bar wiith 324lbft



Was going all well until



whoops



When i spilt the gearbox i found the input shaft bearing casing at broke




Bought Rich williams lower mount with had an L bracket for support and strength, also welded extra bit..



Bought Adams spare gearbox and swapped the casing over, used my gears... Saved me for PVS top man

Had my track wheels sprayed





Fitted to Yoko AO48r tyres




Made new stickers



At PVS was in Regal Fight Club




I did ok at handling to track was too short, was quickest on the 1/4 mile only twin engine nova was quicker but that wasn't road legal...

Results from my 1/4 mile



Shot on my track wheels



little video I made

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odir0CwybRk&feature=youtube_gdata

Gain small leak from heater matrix on way home nothing major as its still the factory one so job tonight to strip it out



While it was there took shot of the engine bay

As people have said, was awesome seeing Monty tearing down the strip. I'd probably say one of my favorites.

Sounds fantastic now! Looks seriously quick with that incar footage!
I'd paint that front mount black now, blend it into the pov bumpers Abit.
Pretty quick to say it still has its luxuries and heavy recaros

Went to VXR Events Thunder road Saturday just gone for a standing mile event... Was a great day and Monty did well!

Loaded up the truck and off we went




Results at the end of the day, 2nd is class B and 6th overall which i'm happy about! 1st in class was just over 1mph quicker.





Back home and enjoyed a good drive saturday evening too
