Well its back.... and its quick... and it has loads of torque...
and it made it home in one piece under its own power... no AA truck intervention required... before anyone else asks....
Still some set up work to do on emerald settings for the full throttle shift but the system is fitted and operational.
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....
