Good stuff! I've been doing accidental 11s everywhere. It runs pretty badly at low revs so you have to give it a boot, with inevitable wheelspin. It's properly too loud, I'll have to sort a better middle box.

No oil.
just one clip with water and that was the last one we did. the rest are all dry garage floor. i had a set of competion slicks to try out that i brought cheap, so why not burn all available rubber i have? I have a tyre pile in the garden for this reason alone:D
its fun, and it goes sideways way to easily now!

Excellent news, the engine is now seized and I need a new 'un. I think it's because I buzzed it when I missed third. I was racing an integra at the time, one with a mugen chip and a 9700rpm limiter. It was pretty even up to 60! Honestly the 340 is awesome, can't wait to fit another lump and get back out there.
Here's how it stands tonight:
And a peek at what it was like:
