to be fair i dont have anything to compare it to so could do with having a lil race against a standard afh haha

it just feels ridiculously fast!

revs like a mother trucker to just over 7000 so far without any probs

and now I've had the suspension setup it puts the power down without torque steering into on coming traffic!

waa so jelous! i want a go! lol

u got a limiter? must be dodgy without, I'm glad i had one on mine

yehh got a micro dynamics on at the mo, but looking to get an omex clubman as it has a launch control button ;)

ime upping the limiter by 250rpm every couple of days to see how it handles it

aah yeah thats what I've got, smoothcut RL5, has a switch to half the limit, good for launch control lol i used it on my last run at pod and it shot off the line!

From the pictures from my Flickr contact it looks like you park in quite a busy area, there must be CCTV somewhere if that is so?
