A Day Of Mixed Fortunes

[Guest snotfart]

managed to book an mot with my favourite garage at very short notice-----------------------------good

conked out on the run there-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------bad

the run was long enough and spirited enough to prove the new radiator----------------------------good

passed mot and tweaked mixture while there which seems to have fixed earlier conk out--good

taxed online-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------necessary evil

the revised front suspension is excellent(thanks takumi)------------------------------------------------good

propshaft is out of balance--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------bad

it goes like *bleep*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------good

the new clutch slips in top,will need a racy type one-----------------------------------------------------BAD!!!

as title a mixed day but its good to be razzing round again

got some very surprising weights off the brake tester

front 336kg

rear 356kg

and best of all 692kg total with driver,seems it was worth the effort making all that

ally stuff.

5 good 4 bad you win.

 

did they weigh the car cos they had no numbers to work with ?

[Guest snotfart]

fancy pants new brake tester that weighs the axles in order to calculate the efficiency,

which was an astonishing 120%

[Guest woolly]

ah understand now, also just noticed you have a v8 up front that will explain some of the efficiency gained.
