More the fact I don't want to run it into a tree and just lose out altogether.  :rolleyes:  Don't worry, I have put my foot down, just getting used to the way it works.

Your car may as well be switched off and walk until you get to around 4k, thats when its fun :smiley:

Other than expecting it to go up the revs quicker over 4k, there isn't a lot more to learn :wink:

I noticed it starts pulling around the 4K mark, first and second gear are especially fun.  :grin:

I'll get an engine bay pic up tomorrow.  :kiss: Problem I have though is the HT leads don't fit into their slots on the plastic cover.
