That's great news Lolly. Bet you are chuffed to bits. Just need some decent weather now to get out for a run & not have a filthy car when you get back.

Great news for you
I hated running in my last car after the engine blew as the right foot could not be pressed very hard

I will also be glad when the crap weather goes as its filthy every time I come back from a run out

The ESC time attack car was run-in in a single night last year after Frayz built the engine

God that was a tough night, not even allowed any boost to liven things up!
Seems such a long time ago now?

Picked the car up at Mocom at Friday 4.0pm, drove it through the night untill about 6.0am, then ESB30 did another few hours after that. Target was 1000 miles, but think we got to about 6-700. Then mapped in the afternoon, and raced at Silverstone on the Sunday!

Not the first time I have had to run an engine in overnight, but hopefully the last!
