Default Rebuild distance record for Enginetuner!

This one is from Gibraltar! It was shipped across Spain then landed here from the Santander ferry.



Intended for track use, we are fully rebuilding the motor to over 500 bhp, including all the trimmings.
We're going to run it in, set it up, then the man is coming here for a few days to test in the UK before driving it back over there.
More info to follow..

The good news is it's a great gig to get involved in.
The bad news is it's on track suspension and I have to run it in!
I've already booked the Chiro..

Being left hand drive you will get sore knuckles on the left hand from punching the door looking for the gear stick . I always end up straddling the road centre line in lhd.

Surely the suspension can be softened.

I'm comfortable with left hookers, having driven stacks of Yank motors.
The only weird thing is when it comes to getting in and out where for some reason I lose my usual elegance. It's a bit like getting a Giraffe out of a Lotus!

There are some things you have to do yourself. I always do at least the first 50 miles of any build.
Invariably the only ones driving customer cars are me or Martyn, although as my "lads" are all over 35, I'm not worried.
