No offence steven, but..
IMHO..
Revs would have been better at 5500 however due to the std clutch I dont really think this would have worked well...
SO..
I think steven has done extremely well to get the 1/4time that he did.. with a shagged clutch
And
Lets fit the new clutch and move on to killing the gearbox... whens the next day..

No offence taken David.
I was trying to increment at 500 rpms a launch to see where is best. However, when one is watching the lights, can virtually hear naff all due to the helmet, i think i am at 4500 rpm but in fact i am at 6500, then cant help but knack it.
Does not help when your stood there wave your hands in a kind of "give it some welly" type motion.
New clutch, asap, and ready for next day. If i kill the gearbox, then it will be off the road for a while, due to funds.

Hi all,
Nice to meet everyone, Ninny, Mark, Jonny Gav, David, Steven and Harvey et al. Perhaps I should have run the Westie, although a 0-60 time would have been much better for it!!! (Not good at high speeds!)
What amazed me were the bikes - total nutters! 1340cc extended swing arm barstewrads with progressive nitrous and a couple running TURBOS as well!!! WHOA!!! They were NOISY!!!! One in the picture was even running an anti wheelie arm!!! (You should have seen one of the mechanics - a cross between Gimli from LOTR and Hagrid from HP!!!!).
Great day and a top blast back in the Westie (had a little play with a Maserati 4 door on the way home - looked superb).
Cheers
Mossman
PS Many thanks to Harvey for taking the time to explain what gauge did what on his lovely car, very much appreciated
