Didnt you just miss out on a sub 13? Still a very good time.
Anyway, good to put a face to a name (and a car LOL)
I may well be doing a trackday at Anglesea on the 9th June, fancy putting yours on track...? Looks like it would be well suited
Hope you like the pic btw, one of the guys in my local club took it.

I know what you mean, I was having that problem at Shootout but I changed the rev limiter position so I didnt need to change, just ran up to 8300 rpm and was just getting across the line without the final change

LOL, not the rather tasty spec that you're now running
On a serious note, Apexi Power FC (mapped by Andy F), Apexi FC Commander, Apexi Power induction & home made (by AndrewC) heatshield, 3" turbo back H&S system, Sard alloy racing rad and coolstat thermoswitch.
My best time was 12.63 @ 109mph with a 1.714 ET, unfortunately, I ran out of time, but every run was getting quicker as my launches were getting better, so I think I could get it down to 12.5 in current form. Should be into the 11's next year though!

I dont think there's any chance of getting into the 11's in current form. So yeah, there are a "few" additional mods planned

I know someone that may be in the market for one, how much you looking for?
Why you selling by the way, thought you'd not had it long?
