First brief run out

Well plates are on and the car is on the road.
First impression are the it'll be more than fast enough once the megasquirt is setup. At the moment it's quite lumpy at a few points and I'll need to change my bins at low throttle openings to give better resolution. Also the steering is very twitchy but the toe out and camber are way out as well. Going to set it up and scale it soon. SWMBO I think enjoyed it as well although she didn't want to be photographed ( i didn't blindfold and kidnap the passenger before you ask
Looks a nice day but only around the 4 degrees mark. we had snow flurries yesterday

Sure does look purdy. (excellent choice of colour scheme btw )
What's it like to drive without any form of screen at all?
Did you wear a lid or just sunnies?
Went out this morning for a blat for an hour or so meself. Just wore shades and even though it was about 10 degrees in Plymouth, still ended up with mild brainfreeze!

Well done Gary, must be a good feeling.

I'm not far behind, I am itching to get my plates.





Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.
