went up to northern ireland yesterday for a straightliners drag event. brought the nova up on a trailer, sun was shining all day, first run i thaut my clutch went, but it turns out the black adjuster pulled the threads on the cable! few 13 mm nuts later was good to go again. at the start was doing 13.7-8 for about 5 runs, then changed to some stickier tyres and got down to 13.34, i was still spinning in 2nd no matter what i did, for the next day im going to get some 888's.
on a side note, i cant believe my f16 didnt blow up! was running 15 psi, and only 15 psi tyre pressure with the potenza's . it took some serious abuse all day. well chuffed with the little rascal! got abit of a bug for it now cant wait to go again :d i no i shud be running quicker with an LET but its very slippy up there, its an airstrip not treated like the pod so my 60 foots were ****!

ive gone through 2 f20's and an f18. and this bad boy is still going after a year! even with the plate diff adding extra pressure. i rebuilt it with a deawoo input shaft, as i heard there stronger, no proof of this of coarse put seems to be going ok so far!
