"Power Tuning" has been our strap line and part of our logo for as long as I can remember. "Tuning Japanese" was also nicked from us by that firm down in Surrey.

Can't wait to see the article Mr C :)

doubt it

most magazines are released the month before

january issue would either be out now or within a day or two

would think it was more likely to be the february edition

That's the flywheel I believe you are talking about, which is as you have mentioned ie made from chrome moly steel and balanced to a fraction of a gramme.

The propshaft is one of the few things we didn't do in house, so we intend to send it away for checking. A couple of grammes is acceptable for a propshaft, but the tighter the tolerance the better it will be :)
