The way the car pulls in 4th is
Really have to hold onto the steering wheel really tight to keep it in a straite line

Awesome bit of kit and very well presented!

Don't go by what the DEFI boost gauges say mate.

Also give it large and forget about the engine...... I ran my new 2.5l Cosworth engine in for 2 days (had it mapped) and then cained it around Castle Coombe at Japfest the following Saturday and then dragged it down Avon Park the following day last month. It's all as sweat as a nut, and was the intended use for the car anyhow, so it was all built to withstand it (my **** did go on the first full boar launch on the drag strip though, in case my new twin plate clutch would shat itself)

You have spent the money, so ENJOY it!!!

I've seen it close up and it really is as good as it looks.

He is probably following Webmaster's advice or keeping it dry.

Is that Defi reading indicating 2.1 bar or hitting the stop? It could be higher than the reading if so. Should really get a higher reading gauge to make sure you know what is going on.

Fantastic car BTW

Defi's tend to overread by about 0.2bar on the boost gauge

I had a go down santa pod a few weeks ago,had problems with traction ,wheelspun in first and second ,did not get traction till 3rd.Need to get toyo 888s on,should get mid or low 11s,Might even go for mickey thomson tyres for the scoobyshoot out next year .
I would be very happy if i could nudge into the high 10s

That must have been some serious outlay, I mean really, really massive. Looks good though, come up to a midland hillclimb so I can get a good look at it.
