If you're drifting it, be careful with it - that thing's far too pimp to get introduced to a wall
cheers

Ah, fair play...you mentioned Stavros, so I thought you might have sideways intentions
I like to get the arse end out (no sniggering!) as much as the next man, but as you say, I wanna keep well away from walls
cheers

And also do bear in mind it was set up to work on 98 octane 4 star. So you'll need the good go-juice. 98 octane ideal, 97 octane minimum. You will get problems if you run it on 95 and it won't be light pinging either, it'll be "I'm seriously unhappy" pinging.
Mine was running 97 octane and I got light pinking, it needed 98 to work properly, however compression was excellent as I had just rebuilt the engine

Helped Greg pick this car up yesterday and drove it the 100odd miles back to his place.
Front wing is quite badly holed with rust, has a very harsh/strange vibration at about 60 (not below, and not above), and steering pulls to the left a little (and on the same note straight ahead with the steering means wheel isnt pointing straight ahead), but overall, its a really nice car.
Clutch is rather sudden too, very low biting point, but seems to work well, and its high biting point that usually means clutch is on its last legs, rather than other way round!

Pat phoned to say you guys had collected it ,
as far as judder and pulling is concerened getting the tracking done and front wheels balanced may solve both issues
