not yet, but it is on my list of things to do. i will have to find the best time when lots of novas and stuff are there.


i was doing about 30 gave it half throttle and it felt like it took off about the same rate as the s2000 in second with my foot down.i realised then that i was in fourth.
has to be done

I predict third gear will be your favourite
