1st of month
So it was taxed on-line this morning and took it out for a 30 mile run, stayed dry for most of it and nothing fell off result
massive difference with an extra 100 horsepower, a few things to do get the tracking done, set up camber then play with suspension settings the rear is about right i think but we will see, the front was too firm so i have dropped it down 2 clicks and the tyre pressure's were to high(should have checked them before i took it out 30 allround) dropped them to 21 front 23 rear, i will take it out again tomorrow and see what difference the changes have made, the biggest change will have to come from me as i haven't driven anything quick for a couple of years and although its not blisteringly quick its different from what i was used to, you have to work the engine a bit like a two stroke.

*Came back from camping yesterday afternoon after getting flooded out, you were right: crazy idea
Yeah the weather was s***, i would have stayed dry but as soon as it starts raining everybody starts driving at 20 mph stiil i only got a little wet, if you give me a clue where you live then i will have a better chance of finding you PM me your address , i think yours may be little quicker

It would be good to have a run out in yours so we can compare suspension set up, mines getting better, but not sure how it should feel when it's right (if you know what I mean).
I will call you when we get a decent'ish evening, have you got a camber gauge , yours needs a bit of tinkering will have a chat about it when we catch up.
