Day 3 - tough stuff!

We are half way through the first stages, and they have been really good, fun - but also pretty difficult (slippery and really tight).

Right now parked at the end of the run waiting for all cars to finish and then we go back in the other direction (same road).

End of day - 1 day to race start!!

So... A couple of very dark pics! But a good day overall. We tried a couple of exhaust lengths and settled for something that is in the 36" range (as predicted / advised by Jeremy from IE). It has really helped the car get rid of a wierd dead spot around 4000rpm - car is feeling great. Our only pending item is getting rid of an exhaust leak but should be quick!

Re-tuning the exhaust

Working on changing the exhaust length to lower the max torque / power rpm.
