Did you get some brackets sorted out ?

[macdeb]

TBH Daz, you have a pretty healthy quick motor there as your standing 1/4'rs and terminal speeds testify.

What was your time today Daz?

First go in the morning the track was still damp ,I went out of control twice ,second attempt no time ,i was sitting next to a 1000bhp monster which scared me to death so i jumped the line to get away from it so no time .

Third attempt the back end went then missed a gear so 12.6 .If i could get some proper tyres and sort the diff out i would put money on it i could do it in 12 seconds .

Just hope Alex gets back to me about the diff ... Peter did you get the Y piece ?

[phazed]

Do you want Alex's number?

I'm picking it up from Barry later this week.

Let me know your payment details?

Give your diff to the guys at Readman Racing. They rebuilt my Tuscan diff recently and could really feel the difference with the LSD bit kicking in and working. Made the back end much more predictable and controllable. If you are into that 1/4 mile thing I'm guessing they could adjust it to work earlier too.
I've used Quaife LSDs in other cars too with much success with FWD and RWD cars but not tried one in any TVRs.

They will be fitting some used parts because they are not available ...

Getting back to the title Daz, my car always feel slow on track but that's an illusion.

Back on the road amongst traffic, hedges, lampposts etc. it's a rocketship!

Interesting you say that because my output flanges had a bit of play but they couldn't replace them due to non available. It's worth the chat with them because I'm sure the LSD bits are available. It's well worth getting the slipper working properly. It makes the difference between the wheels gripping or both being in a controllable spin and the power weaving from one wheel to the other and the car snaking uncontrollably up the road. Sorry I meant track.

That was a really good time Daz, You have got a talent for traffic light Grand Prix obviously, I mean it!

Ah, see Daz I fooled you, It was the fast moving hedges.
