    190bhp from a 1.6, that's excellent, I'd be over the moon if my 1.8 16v gets anywhere close to that figure. Car looks great by the way.

    Well what a weekend i got there on the friday full of mixed thoughts and nerves having never drove this car in anger .after setting up base camp i hit the hay .
    Saturday it was here still lots of butterflies i got the car warmed up and took it down to the paddock to be scrutinered and it passed so it was then waiting for practice 1.
    So after run 1 the car was squirming everywhere and i put it down to not being ust to driving with a lsd.
    Run 2 was here and it was the same and even my mate said its not correct as he was watching from the sidelines we were baffled as to why it was happening ,then it dawned on me the power steering it has a ajustment knob and guess what it was on maximum sensitivity so after a few twists the steering felt nice and heavy as i like it .
    Time for first timed run and brilliant instantly felt better and i beat my original pb by a second i was super happy .
    Second timed run this was the one i was feeling good in the car great run then on the final corner my cv snapped bugger!!
    So it was a quick drive back home and change the cv ready for sunday.
    Sunday came and the car was amazing in practice going really well the timed runs were great and i managed a new pb by another second and got 4th place so all in all it was an awsome first outing

    I Love how quickly this has came together, well done to you.

    Do you plan to come to Gurston down any time? I’ll come along if so. Waiting eagerly for Colin to come back too.
