cleaned up and painted) but they didn't belive me and as the engine was recon im stuck with a 'Q' plate

Fitted my gear indicator the weekend and it works a treat, easy to fit and fairly easy to set up ( although ive not set the shift light side function
yet ) five wires and a few revs between 4000 & 8000 in each gear and that was it.
http://www.brspecialtuning.co.uk/Shift%20light.htm
A 250 mile test trip over the weekend and nothing fell off, but my bushes on the diff (sods law the only part of the car that wasn't brand new)
are worn and the diff is knocking on the rear chassis.
New set ordered and car already in bits ready for them to be fitted.
Cant belive how quick these cars are, and how well they pull in 6 gear. still got a smile on my face.
Cant belive all the way from essex to norfolk to north london back to essex, loads of nice lanes & motorways, nice weather and nothing worth
having blast with apart from a teen in a saxo and a white van man revving at the lights

Looks good spence,
Went for my first legal drive today, I had a major fault with the tb's that were staying open at 3000 rpm, not what you want approaching a
roundabout. After a chat with colin and following his advice I had a bent butterfly spindle that wasn't closing properly. Probably as a result
of the donor... Anyway I had a spare set, as you do, fitted those and everything is fine now.
I like your stripes mine arrived today and I am yet to decide on twin or a single stripe.
Hope to see you on a circuit one day.
Are you going to Newark as the factory is there. I plan going on sat, camping and returning home sunday.

Not sure on going to newark yet, need to check if im allowed out
I changed my mind over the stripes 3 times, 2, 1, fat or thin, It was fun getting them dead straight down the centre of the car.
Did you get a 09 or a 'Q' plate in the end...?
