Them are Curlys lines!

I find it easier to use that the CSL SMG box cause all i do is down change. I let the box change up for me. One less thing to worry about.

It works pretty good.

The gearbox is getting sent to Germany for an upgrade when i up the power and apparently they speed the changes up aswell.

The change up does that not stop you getting the most out of the car before changing gear

Get it made so it doesnt automatically change up Stu.

I found when exiting a corner with wheels spinning it would change up, then bog down in the next gear, as the wheels spinning fooled the car into thinking it was going faster.

It was frustrating at Spa doing this out of :La Source.

Out of interest, how much is the gearbox upgrades?

No.

I tried manually changing up with the upgraded paddles i use but it wasn't as smooth as when i let the car choose when to change.

Not sure why.

I love the gear change and the surge of torque is great, it seems to accelerate even more once the change has happened. it's hard to explain.

I'm happy with the car and am looking forward to getting 700bhp soon.

I know what you mean Stu, they are a great package. An exceptional tourer.

Driving to the ring/spa was effortless for mine, and I felt refreshed once I got out. Great cars.

You will have to take me out once you get your box done.

I will ask regarding the auto upchange as its a valid point.

You can take it for a spin yourself if you like. i think you will like the handling now and i'm pretty sure you will like the power :-D

Even more paramount once you up the power too;), I dont think it wil struggle to light the tyres out of slow corners:smokin:

I'm looking forward to another ride in your car after your big power upgrade...and of course another monster fry up ;)

Getting there! Suspension feels really good now, almost time to tuck her up for winter though as the weather is getting poo.
