Sorry, I want to post pics etc but I have a manic day today! Many thanks to Peter for all his help sorting the car and bringing t down to me in person, and thanks Craig for the loan of the caliper :) now, not an oscar speech so I'll go, and get pics and write up ASAP...

I've bought tax so can legally drive it. Might take it to work tomorrow...

..the only thing I can promise for sure is slow progress.

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Still in the garage...

I've not really driven it enough to do a full write up (done about 15 miles in traffic...).

I also left the car in 1.3 bar mode (as I don't want to peak too soon :)). The back end kicks out very easily at standing starts :evil: and the power delivery feels progressive enough for what I want to do on the track, it might be that I won't use full power on track.

I will do proper write up when I've driven the car longer and resolved a couple of niggles, but for now, let's say I'm pleased with the purchase :) there are still a few bits that I want to move from my car onto the new one before I am 'done' (reach/rake steering column, Toad alarm, and need to fit my repaired caliper too)

I'm sure we could come to some arrangement, though I'd prefer the seats to go as a pair (and after Christmas) :)
