TR2/3/3A Winter engine running in - icy

Took a trip out this morning? more UK Derbyshire hills for running in.
just 35 miles this morning as it was cold windy and slippery.

I know some of you folks have real cold and snow. But it’s chilly here up high.
this was just a private track so I could legally film the main roads were slightly better.
the car feels great and just love the new engine it revs up sooo fast tho with the 5kg flywheel

Your car is very nice looking. If I go back into the clutch area I think I will look at a lightened flywheel. It may not be green and sunny there but still looks like a great drive. Bruce

It sounds respectably healthy!

Any noticeable lack of torque with the lighter flywheel?

need some more miles on it and some track time before I can really tell.
You're likely to have some adjustment to make in your driving technique. Sounds like it's a whole different car! 👍
