She went great today on her first test run to loosen the diffs check the slipper ect all adjusted ready for the weekend only 4 slight problems

1 . Running the rear links in a bottom hole the ends rub on the Diff outdrive savers ....

2 . The front savers (not in the pic) are brand new and dont allow the front suspention to have free movement as they are trapping the end of the dog-bone Should i sand the inside of the diff outdrive a fraction to stop this or will it wear free in a couple of practice laps Sunday ????

3 . To stop the belt skipping on power it feels a bit tight to me is there a good rule of thumb i know with my Touring Cars if you can twist the belt 1 turn its good if you know what i mean

4 . She is Currently sitting in the Garage smelling of Disinfectant as i hit the biggest PILE OF DOG MESS in the world at full speed ( Not Good )

But all in all i love her
