So, it's taken me approx 2 meetings to get this car as quick as MSX, which took 4 months to reach these lap times

For stock or 19T this car is bloody quick

One thing I noticed, I can run a higher rollout with this car when compared to the MSX. I ran about 2mm higher rollout yesterday, still had more punch than what I ever had with the MSX, and the car was THE fastest thing in a straight line!

Did I mention I really like this car
Good to hear your positive reports on the car. I'm really looking forward to give mine a run. In fact I was hoping to try my car tonight but Sydney weather is not on my side... Just curious about how you're shimming the gearboxes. I've heard a lot of conflicting views with some people finding the factory recommendation inadequate. How have you shimmed your gearboxes?
