hahaha defenitly deceptive perspective. Thats was a mega long drive! Cotswolds in the UK to Czech Republic close to Ostrava in the mountains .... not a single bit of tarmac climbing.

Another update from the garage. Car just dyno'd at 414bhp I think they said at 1.6bar. They just wanted to check the engine was forged before pushing more, but I have a feeling the 550c injectors will limit soon.

Next on the list which is becoming more urgent is a good LSD, any good recommendation? Ive heard mixed thoughts on Quaffie and pointed more towards gripper?
