SMG software a chance to learn the new 'non slipping' diff, hmmmm improvement, the waaaaarrrrrggghhhh ching into gear reduced.....day 3(today)-jesus H christ I've got whiplash!! Its banging into gear like it used to, only slight hesitation but I think that will be cured with a little more ‘spirited’ driving tomorrow morning.

Will update tomorrow night with results, off to bed for an early start.
that`s a result if it`s cost you nothing mines in at bolton getting clutch flywheel etc unfortunatly its costing me £1800
