Thank you, it's my pride and joy.
The drivetrain is all standard spec, new belts from the DOC, new standard clutch kit fitted. The clutch has stood up to all of the abuse I've thrown at it including a special launch mode I have that allows the engine to rev higher before engaging the centrifugal clutch.
I'm most concerned for the propshaft, but so far so good. I now have everything set up to only use high power at high revs, I can control the Variomatic through the engine ecu and an electric vacuum system to hold the engine revs really high while accelerating flat out, the reasoning being that the faster the propshaft is spinning the higher the power it can handle.
The belts have slipped occasionally, but only for a second or two before gripping, mostly with the turbo set up which had a lot of low end torque and before I was using the latest Vario control to keep the revs up.
