You know of that comparison vid? When the Silverstone catches up has the red backed off (as the accel point has be proven) or is it a case of the red has maxed out due to the new gearing?


(PS AB, why are you scared of this, your car is so clear you could swap a diff in your suit and not get dirty )

CC - I've spent a lot on the car these past few weeks:

J's Manifold
J's ECU
J's Straight pipe
Spark plugs
Engine torque damper
Front brace

etc etc

I need to tightne the belt a teeny bit.

Soon to come will be: CF bonnet, wheels and then maybe gears.

Just had a mail from Jeff at Ricks and it looks like there has been a mix up and my oder from 6 weeks ago has not been shipped

To make things worse he won't be getting any more 4.57 gears made up for a few months.

So ...... what are my options? 4.44? 4.625? anything else?
