I never called them, but I did send a few emails that went unanswered. Maybe I'll try to give them a call.

I had a good weekend at Grattan and yes, the Lotus was running really well with the new KAAZ close ratio gearset being really well suited to that track: Grattan Lap 1:25.9 Car was hooking up really well following some alignment tweaks - check out the g-circle in the video peaking at well over 1.5g in several spots

FWIW after some trials with my car Auto Europe is now in position to supply a gearbox with Kaaz close ratio gearset Quaife limited slip fitted and ready to go - contact Tom Schick at Auto Europe on (248) 645 6300. Shameless plug but the guys at Auto Europe are well worth it
