PS: I wouldn't be cheeky enough to ask to borrow one off you considering how often your engine is in and out.. and time scales for build etc etc..
Did you put it on the scales?! thats a bohemouth!?! is it an alloy box/bell housing?
wonder if anyones gone the otherway to a small 4speed (ok it would make the car a little more undriveable day to day
) but could save weight

Nice work David
RE your coil over needs, why don't you contact leda, show them this thread and go after a fat discount in exchange for some 'sticker' space on your wagon?
. I'm sure it would suit them for future adverts, I can picture it now..."Chasing 200mph takes ultimate control", written above a nice action shot of your wagon.. might be worth a try?

Brilliant stuff David, I've never really went into the Projects pages but excellent work! Great photos.
It took me 5 years to rebuild my Mini which is a simple little car (with a Haynes manual).
How do you find the time????
You should get some of this stuff into a magazine, better than most of the crap that makes it into print and is all being done as a home build, not some 'money no object' project that is published. How do you do it without a workshop manual?
Keep up the good work, proof of how good the Scoobynet is!!
How far away are you from putting it on the road?

Must do more overtime to fund it.. just dont have the time to do any at the moment..
Propshaft has been done and balanced.. run out is to less than 1 thou.. factory is 3 thou apparently..

Just a thought, but has anyone looked into barrel throttle bodies on a scoob to replace the standard butterfly? I can't see fly by wire giving any real benefit if it's controlling the same butterfly...
Got to be good for airflow, hasn't it?
