What Snowman said was correct.

Run 1 - Clutch slipped at the top of 2nd and in 3rd, I came off the gas to save the car. Mid 12.

Run 2 - Launch sucked big time and heard a pop at about 5500 in 3rd so I came off the gas again. Low 12.

Run 3 - Driven by Nige, stuck the launch brilliantly, awesome change to 2nd and then slippage in 3rd so he backed off. Best of 10.7@132MPH.

Last time we headed out, we managed a max of 140MPH so there is some potential in the car. Just need a clutch that can hold it. I am currently in investigations to whether I should go a quad plate or a carbon triple.

More details to come soon.

    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
