Diff swapping

After braking the diff at Santa pod it's finally time to get dirty and fix the old girl 

I called upon a few other MNR builders to help speed the job up :) many thanks to Justin and Eddie for there help :) 

I've decided to go for a 3.38 diff now as I felt the car was over geared with the original 3.14 however I will get the old diff fixed so I always have the option to swap it .

Aparantly tge difference in top speed is 9 mph 

And rpm at 70 mph is now 6000 instead of the 3.14 at 5500 @ 70 previously .

Ill have to wait and see how it drives before I pass judgement.

New garrage :)

At long last we've finally found a suitable house near our parents and closer to friends. After previously living 30 mins away were now back living where we both grew up :) and more important I get a bigger garrage :) 

Stoneleigh 2013

Well that's stoneleigh done Mann it was pretty hectic getting all the parts on ready for the show :) I now no how all these f1 teams feel rushing to bring updates to every race...

Stoneleigh was a really busy show particularly for MNR having sold lots if cars at the show. 

Plenty of BBQ and beer was consumed by everyone and we even managed a proper lock in till 1am in the bar !!

I really enjoyed the show travelling there in the vortx and home as well she ran beautiful all weekend ...
