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 .................
Shakedown bollocks a good trashing
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
I was thinking the same about being lhd but I think the misses will be shitting herself more
It appears i got it mucky yesterday so it had to be cleaned again

And i spent a few hours covering the underneath with anti rust treatment and anti chip stone chip
So any problems come to light on the shakedown?
Nice to see you got the staff straight onto the cleanup!!
No no problems at all so far Steve ......................
feels good plenty of go ...........think the only problem i`ve got is rust on the discs but i`ll soon have that cleaned off
Is it chipped already?Quote:

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...?
