    T/B hybrid Vs. mates 290bhp TT


    second gear rolling start, he gave up as i reached for third.
    4th gear rolling start, he gave up as i reached for 5th.
    Standing start, considering it was my second ever launch in the car and he has 4WD he jumped a car length ahead but i started to reel him in by the end of second. He tells me he got a shit start though so will have to go up against him again. Expected to beat him but looked more comfortable then i thought. Now to get on the stripping in prep for York!

    New gearbox is, well its brand new, but doesn't feel as smooth as i expected but its guarenteed so we will see. Car feels awesome on te roads, i think on tight twisty roads the Nana may have the advantage because the manual steering conversion on this has made it a ball ache to corner in, long sweeping corners it jsut grips and go's though.
    On the straights, its awesome. Mates now call it the time warp machine and everytime i get out my hands are shaking, its just ridiculous.
    going for an extra mount on the gearbox, and need to uprate the other mounts, supersprint gets fitted 2moro and all should be good. just needs some minor tweaking on suspension to suit my driving style and it will be a right little monster!
