    certainly not - not used to RWD at the moment

    I'm trying to book some time on the skid pan at MIRA with an instructor in order to learn the fine art of dirfting

    Has it got adjustable boost?

    If so it might be worth turning it down a little at first so the RWD and turbo kick doesn't cause any nasty suprises, especially when it's wet like it is at the moment!

    yeah its got an adjustable actuator ( though I'm told its a pig to set when the turbo is hot )

    thats a good idea though _ I'll get the bost down to standard (ish) spec for the first few days to save those nasty tree wrapping experiances.
