My car is running frighteningly well. I love driving it, though it does make me drive like a lunatic sometimes. The acceleration is extreme, and it doesn't seem to ever stop! You should consider getting Russell to build you a Quaife rear end; it made a world of difference in my car. The car used to feel like it was twisting up off the road. With the LSD, it's a different feeling, much more stable. I don't really have a holiday schedule, it hasn't been given to me by the boss yet, but I will drop you a line if it looks like I have a half day to burn. Do you check your email often?

Haven't experienced any power delivery problems with the open 3.07 rear gear. Even on a drag strip in cold damp weather with Falken FK-452's it launched straight with even grip.
Roadwise, especially with the wide rims and Kumho Ecsta XS big rubber along with squaring off the front and rear strut/shock towers it's close to slot car. Extremely enjoyable to drive and nothing more I would change on the suspension.

I work out of the house so during the day Monday-Friday I check my emails frequently. Afte hours before I go to bed and on weekends early morning and late night.
