Events & Positions: 2006 first season with new engine:

K.A.Wood Stages Oct 06 - 4th in class, (1st 1400!!), 20th overall.

Since 2008, with new cylinder head and gearbox, many class wins, and 2010 ANWCC 1400 champions.

Comments: Car runs very well, with the limiter set to 7750rpm.
Competitive against many 1600 class cars, and only really lose out to high output 1400 'screamers'!
Still don't know it's output, as we haven't had it dyno'd.
