TBH I'm not too fussed about the economy as it's not exactly synonymous with trying to increase power

Got the re-run booked for Tuesday so hopefully will be better.

I'll definitely look into getting the box sorted.
Is the 4.2FD compatible with the u spec boxes?

the 1800 gearset is plenty strong enough, no need for 'u' shafts

Annoyingly they couldn't redo the dyno today,
I went through but to get it done but a new audi's electronic handbrake had failed and it had got itself stuck on the dyno.

So unfortunately I'll have to re-schedule but he is knocking a tenner off next time as I waited a while there.

I will have to hide my time and hopefully do some other bits and pieces as it comes and then update with the new results.

Did they try a brake reset to release the park brake? Sure will be worth the wait tho my ZR had many problems but got there in end
