Cheers Caz,

Yeah, shiney, shiney spanners... I've also been advised that what I'm doing with a half in ratchet isn't legal under English Law!

It's good to be on-board.

    Thanks for the welcome Beemer318.

    Yes, I think I've made the right choice here; in fact the more I'm around this car, the more I'm convinced it was one of those "Right place, Right time" moments. As for the performance, well, the engine seems to pick up nicely, the gears snick positively from one ratio to the next, and it goes where you point it, with no vagueness in the steering. Hooking up bends, apex to apex, is sheer joy. Yes, I have to say, I'm delighted with it.

    Thats not fair :angry: My 2 ton monster loves racing lines but back-end wants to "give" - nice for drifting but auto box in "sport" wants to take it a step further... Very scary in a 2 ton auto :lol:
