:lol: Engine wise you and Nafe have much bigger builds than me. All I did was put an engine in and build a gearbox.

Having driven the car 50 odd miles now I realise 2 things; I needs a front and rear demister, and I need to add more friction modifier to the gearbox. The LSD is very clunky and grabby at slow speeds. It has 2 fluid oz of friction modifier already. I will probably add the remaining 2 floz in there 1 floz at a time.

As a complete ghetto method I can just pour it down the gearbox breather tube yeah?

But if you did have an engine to build would it have taken you X years? :lol:

In theory, but I've never taken that cap off, so don't know if it's a clear shot underneath or whether there's pockets/other routes for it to collect in :?

Where else would you have nice tarmac and no road markings ;)

You were meant to come up here for a track day.
