think the fse regulators a bit gammy. wideband was reading quite rich flat out in 4th but the plugs are white... i was even pulling the plug out just as i came off the slip road bit and checking them then
get that sorted and a few other little things and it should do a bit better...
IF it does a 12.5 il invest in some slicks....

Car looks well. Though I couldn't do just straight line driving, it's got to go around the corners for me. Fair play all the same.

Does the apron really reduce drag that much? Can understand the principal just wandering if in practice it works?

Also slicks are going to be cheaper than r888's so I would whack them on anyway, even if you have to go used.

mainly as john aka taylorboosh said but also cos the battery and fuel tank are behind and wouldnt quite fit a std bumper

yeah the r888's will be staying til it sees 12.5, then, and only then il invest in some slicks... it has to earn them

and no, haven't had it weighed... considering its a V6 it cant be that heavy though

those of you who have me on fb, theres a video on now of the 12.7 run. shite launch but i was trying to ease it off the line without spinning (5psi) in the tyres
