it was mapped on the rr before avon and it went real well on the road , pulled alot better i thought right through to 8,000 rpm. hoping it can be sorted before mitp as i really want to see what times it'll do.

Andy, you are about 6 years too late, back in 2004 we had the "Head Gasket Bar" at Avon Park complete with optics, damaged engine parts, and lager on tap.

About time I updated this I think, since Avon park when the head gasket shit itself I dropped the motor off to be rebuilt and lost the motivation to do anything to the car. Started working on the car yesterday to get the back ready for a diffuser and give it all a good clean. Will update soon with photos

I tucked the exhausts up when the boot floor was in and I'm quite confident it'll work. Just have to cut the tail pipes back a bit.
