Well an unforeseen trip up to auckland yesterday was a daunting test considering it was finished 4 days ago, but just over 1000kms and didn't miss a beat ran great and even averaged 8.3l/100kms or 500km to a full tank. I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to meeting up for the next manawatu run.

Made it down to the Wairarapa run yesterday which was great, we made a run down to Ngawi which was a great test for the car all went well with no issues. It was great following Gaz in his turbo for comparison with a stock turbo car. Here are a couple pics from the run
