more pressing?????? How can anything be more pressing than a big gay wing? I'll put your name on it Carl if you want it, in no great rush to sell.

My other source for getting rid of my bits has temporarily dried up....He blew his engine.

Dyno results!
@crank 550bhp 560ftlb
Whp 430
Slight tyre slippage on dyno too.

Was hoping for slightly more but have to be honest with myself, it's awesome! So quick and instantly available power, no waiting for higher revs.

The shortness of the diff is even more noticeable now I can hammer it, Garage D are putting together a diff for me which should hopefully arrive soon, and it better be soon as I think mine is starting to whine haha.

Will post a picture of the dyno I print out after work if I remember, I'll be receiving a limited edition Guy Martin Snap on tool box tonight so I'm pretty stoked about that!

Surely you can forgive 0.1bhp?? No?

Never mind 550bhp, 560ftlb of torque is huge!

My hat is off to you sir, brilliant build!
