Lol it's alright bro, I appreciated the honesty, it's hard enough to find a nice easy person to deal with as it is.  :happy2:

Cheers man
Yeah Edition 30 rear would be nice but it's costs vs looks. I was originally going for an R32 rear however that went a bit pear shaped when I actually thought I could afford it when I couldn't, the cost of the pipes would basically make it £500, the same as an Edition 30 rear..

Depends if I had another set... which is on the cards but the wheels I'm saving for are £1200, then the £500 for some decent rubber on top, so might be a while...  :signLOL::jumping:

On the strip today at Santa Pod.



I think the best time I managed was a 15.4 or a 15.6, I found it really hard to launch, 2750 rpm and it would bog, 3000 rpm and it would wheelspin into oblivion.. Petrols are much more forgiving. Considering the track and conditions I am pretty happy with the times.

I was happy to go all day unfortunately my gearbox wasn't.


Also in the car park at Santa Pod..



I now have a nice hole in the back of my gearbox where the diff deciding to sh*t it's loins out. Luckily it was out the back rather than into the clutch case so a near gearbox and we'll be rolling again.. Left the Pod at 3 to be towed to a local petrol station to avoid any odd questions, got home about 15-20 minutes ago.
