Gibby, car looks fantastic mate.

Wasn't sure about the wheels but they look great now I've seen them on.

What times did you manage?

Thanks Nick, I was wondering if you'd approve. :cool: I'm loving the wheels but I'm sick of having to clean the brake dust off them every other day ! :laugh: As for 1/4 mile times, I had a very indifferent day, missed a couple of gear changes so that cost me dear on a couple of runs, but the ones that I did ok with were consistent, best was 15.77 but also did a 15.79 & 15.83. What would you have expected ? I was looking for a 15.5ish time so I wasn't far off. I don't think the freaky hot weather helped too much. :rolleyes:

Also, I don't think that the reaction times contribute for these runs and I'll explain why, I raced a VR6 and I set off first, had a reaction time of .47 to their 1.09, I crossed the finish line first and I got a time of 15.79 but they got 15.62. Also, on my last run, I got my best reaction time of .35, I had good gear changes and thought it was my best run, but it ended up being the run of 15.83.

As I got three runs of around the same time I'm thinking that unless it's slightly cooler then I'm not going to get much better than that although I still think there's a low 15 in there somewhere. :smiley:

Aye, I probably do. :laugh: It was strange, sometimes the changes were ok and others I just missed completely. Oh hum. :laugh:

As soon as I saw it I turned to Andy and said I thought it was your car. When I saw all the sweets in the centre console it confirmed my suspicions!!! Andy was hankering after one of your mints but I told him he really shouldn't reach in!!!
