Very nice. Jammy bar steward

Thats a beast jammy, whats it like to drive? acceleration must be pretty brutal I'd imagine?

[Mini_Magic]

I still don't see any socks.

I'm very dissapointed.

Its pretty dam sweet! Even just sat on the drive, the narrow, sweeping windscreen makes it feel like your sat in the cockpit of a jet fighter or the Batmobile or something! Pottering around town at the moment is a bit of a chore. You can't sit with your foot on the clutch because the double paddle items heat up quite quickly and thats when you get problems. Also, whilst its off cam (below 3k rpm or so) it doesn't sit at a constant rpm very well. The ride is a bit jerky as the car wants to move forward and then loses power a touch. I initially thought that this might just be down to the lairiness of the cam, but reading a bit more into it and I believe, after changing the very old HT leads, new plugs and tuning the throttle pots I should be able to get a much smoother engine when its off cam!

I'm getting new plugs after work today, and I'm hoping Racing Green get some HT leads out to me this afternoon on next day delivery so I can do this tuning work tomorrow. Should also be able to get a serial cable today or tomorrow so I can connect my laptop to the ECU, otherwise I can't tune the TPs. Oh, on a side note, Hugh Grant works at Racing Green, and if its not him then its someone who could get a lot of money from doing impressions!

Maybe socks tonight, or over the weekend.

I'm tempted to spray my wheels a darker colour... (Rach doesn't like dark wheels though), or maybe get some 17 or 18" wheels (probably Spiders) that are already dark?

[*DJH*]

Humm, tough choice... both would look good.

how about a photoshop to see?


by the way; here's the one i saw at the petrol station today.

[AshW]

darker colour wheels look good,

i also changed the colour of the side indicatior because i thought it might look better,
