Cheers Jon.
It's the Pod on Sunday providing weather is ok and transmission overheating is sorted out.
I Don't expect to go much faster, though....

I've never used or fitted one before Mick/Pete....... what does it entail then?
Is it just a lever valve that holds line pressure?

Im bang into this, you can lots of fun with a £700 go kart, even though my karts kind of slow off the corners, dont know why ????
Warden Laws is our local track, take your own kart there & £25 all day until 8pm, was there last tuesday night, a couple of hours in a kart & your well knackered

Baically Aidrian, it's a solenoid valve. Pull into the burnout box, press the brake pedal down, then press the linelock button, which in turn stops the brake fluid going back to the master cyl holding the front brakes on. Do your burnout then release the button and your ready to go.
Mine is wired onto my shifter handle which has a button, my old one was a switch, i think, cant quite remember.
After watching your attempt at a burnout yesterday, you definitely need one. I think your car has maybe got a very low 13, possible high 12 in it

Ta Mick! Yeah my attempts were feeble, I resorted to dumpin the clutch in 2nd and spinning to the line.............. I could definitely feel the difference some heat was makin tho.
