to the honest there isn't that much wheel spin. if you do a burn out it holds at 7500rpm and smoke pours from under the arches*.

In the wet it'll spin in 3rd without revving it first. I think the 17's give it a bit more grip in the dry.

*The toyo's on there are illegal that's why I was doing a burn out. I'll put the new yokes on tomorrow (if I get time)

Yeah i agree, but teething problems the garage sould sort out.

They have already sorted out most of the teething problems with the car when putting the other engine in, they even lent him a car while his was away and came to collect and drop off his car !

You cant expect it to be perfect when Diz was so desperate wanting it back, which is fair enough, but IMO it didnt give them much time to test it etc.

Their is different circumstances with every customer in a business so it would be better letting the company and customer sorting it out so that they are both happy and others keep out of it !

It all runs fine now I've sorted a couple of things myself. I'm not going to fart about anymore. If something major goes wrong I'll take it down there, but for now I'll do it myself.
