Yep.... The first mini meet of the LS owners club was most agreeable... best of all, I got to have my first proper run out in the Griff
Still got to get a proper feel for the car, before I can push it...... But just getting out on nice cross country A roads, is a real treat...
As for Neal and the monster he's putting together.... It's obvious to me that he's quite mad...

Elaborate Peter, give us some excitement on a dull old Sunday!
How fast
How much torque
Is it manageable
Is it smooth
What's a griff like to drive,
Lol.
No mates round today but the dog always seems to enjoy me playing with the car!
Super torquey with enough power to spin up the wheels at any speed or so it seems!How fast

A completely different growl, sharper, harder sound.
A heavier gear change, (a different box).
As for the car itself, really well screwed together as it is all new. It really feels like a proper production car as it was assembled with probably more care then the original.
Still not a chim but "not bad"
I'm surprised you found the gear change slightly heavier Peter..... What gearbox??
The reason I say that, is that although its been some time since i sold my old T5 boxed Griff, the one thing thats stuck in my mind is how sweet the change is on the 6060 box in my new Griff.... It's night and day with the T5 which I found had quite a long throw.... The 6060 is a flick of the wrist snick snick between gears... And is something I really like about the car...
As for wheel spin..... Ask Macdeb.... I think it was around 80 in 4th, when he started to nervously point out that the road is a bit dodgy here mate...... Has he always had that nervous laugh??

How do you have less jubilee clips ..
Get some hoses that are the right shape made up or bend some alloy instead and have 2 small sections of silicone hose each end. Not knocking a fantastic conversion but I am just drawn to all those clips but hey I guess it works.? I will supply the eggs and bacon How do you have less jubilee clips ..
