My old g-tech is busted...lol. Foamie has prolly told you that the tune won't make as big of a difference when doing the diff gears. But, im sure there will be significant gain  Yeah, we have the wet weather atm and I tryed to do a run lastnight after work, eased off the line, WHURRRRRRRRRRRRR, backed off, a little more gently, hit 2nd, WHURRRRRRRRRRR, backed off, eased on again, no spinning when I hit 3rd.

If your VN can make a 6 hour trip there's a track here waiting for you just over the border

Yeah, Ive looked at that, opened it up, checked all the tracks and solders etc, so I finally gave up and threw it in the bin.

Yeah, but its the same story here im afraid. Good 4-5 hour drive just to get to Willowbank, Im defiantly going to JCCCQ's drag day planned in July 08. I attended lastyear just to watch the boys because I had my GB rebuilt and didn't want to strain it a few days after being rebuilt.
MEMCAL INFO
The roads dried up and the suns out, gave it a stab in [D] hit 2nd gear and she kicked out a bit and chirped for like 1 second. Way more then usuall. Oh and on the fuel ecconomy side, its prolly .8 of a litre better per 100kms.

Thanks guys, I took some time to polish the car with paint doctor, I tried to use the clay bar kit, but it was really unbearable to use! and it didnt look like it was doing anything at all.
The sun ran away while I was out to take pics, but I think some turned out ok.

Thanks champ, I only used the clay bar on the boot and then gave up, I honestly think its a waste of money, Id rather buy 2 tubes of Paint Doctor and rub every panel (which I did) then use a finishing spray polish and rub over.
