I had 4 tries and then packed it up.When I got home I took the pipe off and cleaned the inside and bolted it back on and went out for a hit and it held fine.I must have been thinking in my sleep cause when I woke up I decided to check my engine mounts and there it was, mangled and it had broken the straps aswell.So should be good to go once the mount is replaced. Very disappointing night as the track was extremely grippy.Veva, 11.3@128 is an awesome time, can only wonder what et you would have achieved if your car had no issues as the MPH would have climbed later in the night when the temps dropped.XRFOOL, good job mate but I still think theres more in your car as MPH should be higher for the power it makes.It was good catching up with everyone and I hope when we go out again we have a trouble free night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
