[Big Ben]

Quick review (bearing in mind I’ve only driven it for just over an hour on busy roads)

Feels very well put together. Very eager to rev from low down(lightened flywheel?). Pace of the car has increased, even pre map. Bodes well for the future.
Haven’t got anywhere near to exploring how capable the LSD is yet.

Not a fan of the gearbox yet. It has a short shifter and everything is feeling a bit mushy. Hoping the fresh oil will work its magic over the next couple hundred miles and I’ll obviously get more familiar with it.

Where’s the noise gone!!
Loved my induction bark and exhaust sound in previous n/a guise. Now it’s just nice and sporty without the same drama!

Lots to get my head round. Cleaning it fully as well is a priority.

Big shout to Chris at Beaniesport. Boy knows his stuff.
