Glad its up and running, you will have to take it to Santa Pod, "Run what you brung".

Mine did 17.5 secs with terminal speed of 82 mph. Slow for the 180,s but I was pleased with it, wheel spin on take off didn't help.

Be great to see you and the mighty derv at one of the meets.

Dave ZS-X is on a distinguished road
glad its all worked for you mate car sounds great fun.
I know what a big lump of torque feels like and it makes for one effortlessly quick car.
Midrange and in gear acceleration it will rip a v6 180 a new one but flat out sprint through the gears will be close.

Thanks

I am planning to take it to a RWYB day at some point, but not until it is all bedded in and settled. I am sure it could take it, but i am slightly paranoid.

One thing i never suffered from was wheelspin in mine when standard, it would hop and shake to bits but not spin... now the quaife is in there, it is less likely too i would imagine

doesn't means to say that i would be able to get it off the line well tho..

I hope to be able to pop down to a meet at some point, atm any excuse to take it for a drive is being used, took a 10min detour to get the car up to temp to hed to a friends house that would have been quicker to walk to
