Going well and lovely day too. That XR2 was giving it some, snaking all over the track.
Must get that app.

It was a perfect day to be honest :) not too hot, dry, sunny!!! Track is good! I would give it a solid 8/10. Lots to keep you entertained.! Difficult track to master! Oh and it probably had the scariest corner of them all in the UK :) that banked straight with a bend... that wall comes very close very fast ha ha. I did not dare take it faster than 110... but you can, with a right set of marbles!!! ;)
Lap timer is awsome!!!!!!! This is a full race version. At only £27 I think bargain. Can use extranal sensors, internal, multi cam etc.... love it! And best thing it's almost fully automatic. It's starts recoding as as soon as you cross start/finish on you fast lap.. Awsome!
Google. HARRY's LAP TIMER

Oh and was a good test for JcWeldFab :)
Valves closed 91db at 6000rpm
Valve open 99db at 6000rpm

So I had to race with valves closed all day (98db noise limit for that day)
And both controller and exaust performed flawlessly!

To be honest Nick, there was quite a bit more to trim on the OEM bumper than in your video. For some reason I had 2 lips right above the exhaust tips that needed to go. Also had to modify mounting point for the crew as it was to far forward I wanted it really tucked inside underneath. I mean nothing out of the ordinary for an aftermarket part. I am very happy with it! Looks sick!

Don't think they serve any real purpose, so wouldn't foresee any harm in trimming​ them back as the last visible remnant of the old plastic.

Apologies if I didn't send you a link to the full fitting instructions (that normally comes in the box) - there's a bit in there about the screw fixing points.

Glad to hear you're really happy with it!
Wonder how much extra downforce you'll be getting around the track...?
