Considering I was 6mph down on my previous terminals then a 10.3 was quick !

Remember my power band is broader than yours and I have more torque with the larger capacity.

Yours will do 10's mate and it will come without doubt, will you be at the next Shakespeare round ?

Picked up some parts today for the stores CDB, built heads, pulleys, inlet and baffled sump. Not 100% sure where this will all end up but something to play with for the closed season. I think I will find someone to build me a 2.1 and put the heads and pulleys on the blue car when that engine comes out. We'll see, there is no rush.

Hey, I like that HARD PIPE parallel fuel rails set-up on that v.1/2 IM. Great for longevity (almost a genuine fit and forget mod ).

Where can you get that from?

Small update. Popped the door cards on today and rigged up the electric window switch so I can use the car on a daily basis, well some days. Will be good to run it just to and from work during the dry months sometimes.




Car will see it's first twisty action next week at Barkston Heath in a sprint competition
