Just any update on my shims Elliot,
I Don't get to drive my car everyday so I just thought I'd let you know how it's going.
I gave it some stick (as in WOT) from a set of lights the other night, and found I had wheel spin up to half way through third gear. By the time I got traction I was doing 80kph.
Being such a light car it took of like a rocket I'd guess it only took me 4 seconds to get to 80 "with the wheels spinning"
With out the shims it would have lost power in the change from 1-2 and gained traction, hmmmm...I think it's time for some better tyres
It defentley go's heaps faster now but I have also put on a new exhaust
