By my calculation i would have to take a sh!t the same size as Alex to make that a ten purely from weight loss.

I had a pretty full weekend thanks.
The shaft failed in the 1/4 final of the NSCC.
I was very happy with the performance up to then. I ran a 12.5 NA to prove that acceleration if at all is only mildly affected by the longer diff. As well as running the new PB i ran over 100 at the 1/8th 3 times.
And the 0-60 in 3.2 is great for pub talk wink

Fitting a standard shaft today and then moving on to relocating the battery and fitting decent size lives and earths.
Will be at Mallory on 18th May. Got 2 sessions on track. Should be fun. May even have a cheeky 70 shot to hand for the straights smile

Long shot I know - do you have an entry list giving the name of the Land Rover driver?

I used to navigate for a friend in NORC events and his brother was building a 2wd Land Rover.

The 'landrover' is owned by James Hughes. He and his daughter Sandra were driving in different classes. With a big block and a couple of truck turbos ran into the tens this weekend.

Cracking times,York?
there is a good twist on an old car sticker there. "this car does not just turn drive shafts, it snaps them!" wink
