yer, i expect the slipper clutch has a torque rating that the car is far exceeding because of the weight, tis my thought. Cant think anything else would affect it...

Cheers, Al


Well i did think along those lines myself but! iv rang my mate who i had the engine off etc he says that it just need running as its brand new plates etc not trashing as soon as iv put it in OOPS lol i have ripped tyres! AWSOME! just tarting up now then MOT!

I had the electronic quick shift clutch wired up wrong aswell lol it was changing dwn rather quick tho ;D

I need to get my ;D wired up even tho it isnt that noisy in the cabin!

You finished welding yet?

stalling at start-off improves with time - I still do it now, usually at a show infront of loads of people ;D
clutch probably does want bedding in - take it gentle to start with.


good to hear its finally getting soem abuse :- just dont break it as fast as i did ;D
