It had terrible accelerator sensitivity issues until it brokedown and the handling was awful/ dangerous even- uncentred steering wheel, lots of shimmy etc etc. Cosworth changed all the throttle bodies and thats sorted. Even though the car had a 30 mile test drive on delivery I dont think it had ever been set up right. I requested a further test drive and the factory agreed with me. So it was all wheels off for balancing and just setting it up correctly. My normal driving is spirited/ light- thrashing so this car suits me fine Ps it is a arp4 and it is six gears - 6 th appears to marked with a little R .... Good job it was reluctant to go in 6 gear when I giving it some !!! I

R is not good at speed. Glad you like it now.

Knashing of tiny teeth...and my heater is stuck on hot all the time..Looks like a hot drive around wales at the weekend. I can feel the car getting better as the miles build up . It is booked in at the factory in June for a first service and other bits to be sorted so I hope the hand brake mod parts are in by then because it is quite useless.

Will the handbrake not even hold if you apply the foot brake first, then put the handbrake on whilst still holding the footbrake on? I was recounting this to a flying pal the other day and he said all aircraft use this method.
