MH, do you know if Zen still offer their laser wheel alignment and corner weighting services?

Also, although I know they don't offer "garage services" as such, would they still pre-fit ARBs/DLs/ALK prior to an alignment session?

Also, re mapping, would they be happy to fit simple bolt-on mods like MAF/BCS/cone filters, etc., prior to mapping?

Sorry to bend your ear MH... But you're often down their mapping your head off! LOL!!!

Give Paul a bell mate, he has got all the alignment gear and corner weight stuff. Sure he can sort you out.

Little more pre TOTB work done today, got an oil change done. Also whipped off the door cards and some more trim bits.





Then I fetched out the lovely TOTB brown passenger seat as we need to run with one at that event. I know there is a few of you that were impressed with this last year

Oops, maybe not the centre console -- need access to the DCCD thumbwheel, right?

Not long got back from TOTB. I had a great weekend although the team found a few gremlins in gearboxes, clutches etc. However the social side of things was great, was good to meet lots of you there; old faces and new.

Only have a couple of vids of my runs on my camera but here you go. Think I finished 11th on drag with 10.16 @ 146 and 10th place was 10.15 ! Top speed was 172.1 and 10th was 172.9 from memory. I just ran out of time to try and improve.

Here's my 10.16 & another of 10.28

Was good to watch you clive , yours runs seem to be pretty close to perfect from a amature eye , I think its time your car went on a diet and then i think we would see a 9.5 . Well done.

lol, yep the diet has been spoken about in detail now. My car is well over 100kg more than the Clinics pink car and I am a little heavier than Mikee I know I have more power but it just goes to show what a killer weight is on the strip.

Steven,

Thanks for you help mate, shame we didn't get that last one in but never mind there is always the next event.

Clive, Paul and I were looking at your logs earlier, and we both said, your gear changes are a little on the slow side . Compared to my gear changes, across a whole 1/4 run, i gain .4 of a second on gearchanges alone!

Really ! I thought I was pretty fast there ? Deffo actual gear changes and not where there car is off boost between changes because of lag ? Although comparing to your good self is not a fair comparison imo
