NVC - Retro show at Santa pod

[magnumpi]

Is that Kev from Wales in the Yank pickup?

Really nice chap, i spoke to him at Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday (of which i've got lots of pics if people are interested in that kind of thing ) i recognised him from RR as he's quite distinct looking


Anyway, top work Speedy i suppose you deserve your user name moniker now

So would 13's make me quicker or slower over the quarter *sitting here stoking my chin? A new clutch is needed though thats for sure.

[Speedy88]

Yeah! I mentioned in the other thread that he'd met you. It was a strange day for him

15s would accelerate quicker than 13s but 13s would catch up later. The differences are negligable though.

See i thought it would be the other way round as it's like being lower geared with smaller wheels, but then i'd be changing sooner than you if that was the case.
What diff have you got, 1.4 or 1.7?

[Speedy88]

1.7, it's the best for all rounders really although sometimes I wish I had the epic 1.4 acceleration.
