First Drive
 
Hello,


Well just back from Winton for the first run in the Daytona...:3DSMILE::3DSMILE::3DSMILE:


What a day, my first drive was to put it on the trailer and work out the 6 Speed:D. Drove up on Friday and woke to rain and cold:CRY:

It cleared and I was on the track.... a few sighting laps and back to check it over. nothing wrong,the car felt very neutral. So after a few more laps I gave it a bit....:p:p Alot of people said that I would be VERY happy with the 6 Litre..... They were right, my god it flies, its a fantastic motor and its standard and not even tuned...:) The heads and Cam will make it sing and dance I'm sure.....:LOL:

Dunno why ya need aftermarket heads unless you're going really really wild.

The standard heads are fantabulous performers.

No Pic's
 
Rebel1,

I have also heard that the standard heads are fantastic, but the dollar was so good and they look better....:D

Gav,

No pic's as I was too excited, al least I had a tripod......:D

Bernie,

Doug really did a great job to get to the driving state in such a short time..:):) Mant thanks to him and to Greg for the loan of his tyres.

Mods,
 
Pneall,

I think just the cam and tune would be enough but hey it will be good to see the difference between the standard heads and the aftermarket.


Richard,

I am a legend.....**)

Rebel1,
