well after a very long winter overhaul and change of a few things etc today was first event

the mlr's 30-130 event

after a very lack of driving the car with new gearbox set up leaving this morning at 8am proved i really need many hours of practice.

after a few runs its was clear the full throttle shift wasnt working,times of 11 secs plus!!! a call to motec and all was fixed and then came a 9.31 secs and things were go ok when the gearbox cables snagged and bent ending the fun.
lucky ross came to my rescue and lent me his and every thing started to work out,last timed run for me saw a 8.9 sec

i got to give a few passenger rides to which all people seemed to have as much fun as me!!!

im just over the moon to think all mods we have done on car and still we drove there,competed and drove home,

heres a vid of noise on way there

And the result was with around 100bhp less at the wheels..........just imagine if everything was spot on
