When are we going to see this beast in action?
Nope not yet Nick tells me he'll send me a video of first fire up. I'll try and be there for the mapping and shoot a quick video.

It'll be in the SPA video and I'll try and make a little mini film for it at some point post SPA.

Haven't tried the new tyres in the dry yet. Snow and heavy rain - check!

Hi Frank,

Just back from Redtek. We had a nightmare journey down from North Yorks. We did the M18-M62-M1 at a walking pace. Still we had a chance to make an acquaintance with Black Betty and she's looking beautiful













It won't be long now

Cheers,
Paul

Frank - What KW suspension have you got? Is it v1 or v3. Reason I ask is v3 isnt listed for C4?

You're gonna love them. The stiff side wall is brilliant.

They are V3 coupled with H&R anti roll bars, although with hindsight Clubsports would have been better for my application.

Another pic. For those looking for a second exhaust cut out. The FVD item is a perfect fit.

Friction from the air rushing by should heat things up nicely.
