Finally get my car back tomorrow!!
As some of you may know i have had some real bad luck with my car, my busa engine blew on the first drive after registration.
Well the wait s finally over I get it back for day tuner tomorrow and although summer has passed I cannot wait to rack up some miles and finally
experience the car, despite the emotional roller coaster it has been I'm sure I will be in love after a proper drive.
The car has cost me 2400 to fix and although it is money I shouldnt have had to spend I am impressed with what I have got for the money, a bottom end
rebuild and a dry sump system supplied and fitted (used sump but tank and everything is new)
I just hope it is worth the wait as what I thought was a bargain has cost me more than buying one fully complete and IVA registered, a life lesson I
wish never to repeat again!

In all seriousness, I strongly recommend a throttle stop. allowing no more than half throttle.
The roads just got very greasy and way north of 180bhp in 500kg is far too much on a bone dry road far less how the road are right now.
Nobody wants to be reading your "I bent it" thread in a week or two.
Seriously, tread very carefully.

You also have a point, which isn't lost on me.

That's great news!! Not a bad price either considering you've had a dry sump fitted as well. Zil has offered some good advice though, ask
our old man Take it easy and enjoy it when the weathers good........

Unfortunetly I never made it to Blyton but I've done around 120 miles in it this weekend and i can't wipe the smile off my face.
All seems to be running smoothly and it goes like a rocket! It's taking some getting used to the brakes not being servo assisted like modern
cars but I'm getting there! Not really tested it in the corners either been reasonable sensible just getting used to the car.
Really impressed with the work day tuners have done and the map appears to be spot on.
Looking forward to going to a few meets now and getting to know everyone.
