@4thgenphil lmao :lol:

I thought you were giving off 'not feeling
the love' vibes coz I'd sold the lude.

I'll fit a height & reach adjustable driver's
seat for next year ;)

...or perhaps we could go head to head?

Funny you should ask as I was at Snetterton yesterday. It is epic through fast corners & the the grip is mind boggling :lol:

I cannot believe how the kaaz diff hooks up the front wheels through the corners.

Its light weight also makes it awesome on the brakes - I nearly rear-ended a few Elises when they braked far early than I needed to!

Have you guessed yet that I love my Rex :D

Also I've just bought some Skunk2 cams :shock:

Oh god, skunk 2 cams. You wait till you fit them, they make the vtec crossover absolutely fecking epic. I fitted a set into a slightly modded B16A2 and it was insane. I hope you will get it mapped accordingly as they get a real good gain from a good map ;). I love this rex of urs. Looks loads of fun. Really miss mine :(. Well done on the track days matey. It sounds like a wicked drive :D. Is that diff a fit and forget item??

Thanks. Glad you approve of the cams :)

I'll get Rich at PAW to do the install & tune.

It's best to change the oil on the diff fairly regularly & it needs friction modifier
as well.

Skunk2 cams & cam gears now fitted, dialled in
& mapped.

Feels much stronger right across rev range
& definitely quicker 8-)

However, it was mapped on Dyno Dynamics
machine so @merlin the printouts
may have a familiar vibe to them :lol:
