Good work Mike.
How did the new speed humps around your place go?
Did you think that maybe your neighbours realised that your build was nearing completion and that why the humps where requested from council?

I think the power levels will be fine and I'm sure I'll be looking for more soon.

I think the issue is more the savage clutch takeup combined with the worn out rear tyres plus the wheel alignment front and rear needs doing. Sure made for some fun takeoffs though.

The clutch engagement should smooth out as it beds in.

The new speed humps are a bit of a bugger. I'm not looking forward to negotiating them. Fortunately they are quite wide with a reasonably gentle slope so hopefully I won't bottom out on them.

Phil, I think I'll be the one trying to catch you at Shelbyfest.

Cheers
