Watcha JRM you managed to sort the diff yet?

I know you were toying with tyre changes.

When you get on locost check the mac section and broken wishbone. Thats why I didnt attend the last meet with ya. Was err interesting to say the least!!!

Its with MAC1 now having everything uprated along with some new carbon goodies and a quickshifter being fitted. Hope to be driving by early may so will let you know when im next out
