first drive
well i had a little play yesterday and the general opinion i have is its "kin fast"and very quiet
1st gear is 60+ mph and its very smooth on the driveline/diff with no hint of wheelspin.
there is a couple of wiring issues to address,speedo healer to program,steering to align correctly, then just prep for SVA which is being applied for
this week. can't wait for it to be legal

What's this viscious rumour that an electric car is louder than yours ?
You need some big open pipes after the SVA 
Was the first drive as good a feeling as the old blade car ?

no vids as yet jos as it was a spur of the moment decission,as for loud pipes then i will have to dissapoint you lyn. I took the quiet route for a
good reason, so i can use all the power most of the time without being heard for 2 miles by the old bill etc
the first drive of the blade car was a strange/alien feeling . this one just feels like home albeit with a rocket up its arse,
it feels much more powerful than the blade car and much smoother
but probably not as violent as Chris's GSXR car although i think this is due to gearing etc
Rudy i have to agree this will be fun with a capital F

Chris Friday is ok for me but will need to be AM as i'm on afters this week
Mark diff is a 3.21 freelander unit. i used this due to the low primary drive of the ZX engine so neede tall final drive gearing also the gear box is
tall in 1st but then the other 5 gears are quite close together
the bike does 100+ in first and is geared for 198 in 6th and my gearing is approx 35% lower than this
