Took the Q4 for a quick shakedown run tonight ...................

started a bit rough but once it got a tank full of petrol and she warmed up it was away sweet as ............ lots of pull through the revs and holding a steady .9 -1.0 bar

So far very happy with it .................

Well obviously ...................dump valve makes a lot of noise but then so does the wastegate at high revs

Might take a while to get used to being ion the wrong side but i`ll get there

No no problems at all so far Steve ......................

Not 100% sure .....................but i do think it has been stripped out and used on a track hence the harness mounts and fibreglass bits

i`ll have to whip the ECU out and check .............but anythings possible with those crazy jap guys :lol-052::lol-052:

Spent this afternoon changing the Cambelt on the Q4 ................. thought it was going to be a pain in the arse but was a nice simple straight forward job :clap::clap::clap::clap:

Yup, straight forward job (I managed it!)...did you change the water pump while you where in there?

You'll be taking it for a thrash now then...?
