Not really mate.
Struggling to find the interest in the car at the moment to be honest. I have so much work to do on it and am almost wishing id never started. I know it will all be woth it one day, but the cold nights and then general drab time of year isnt helping.
Just cant be arsed right now if im honest.
No excuses, just how i feel with it right now. lol

Mate, I can honestly say I know exactly how you feel!!
I've been without my scoob for nearly a year now. I still have lots to do to finish it. I'm getting there but it just seems so far away from being finished. The fact that its going to be awesome when its finished is what's pushing me on.
Chin up mate, you're not alone

I know im not alone Daz, all the project boys musty know how i feel. Its everything, crap weather, credit crunch, xmas, work suck etc.
Its just all so hard to get stuck into it at the moment. Thats why ive been so quiet recently. Not looking for sympathy lol, just being honest with you guys.
I build engines all day every day lol... why on earth id wanna build another at home i dont know lol

Frayz, i seem to remember you got a lightweight battery. Which one did you get and from where/how much??
Also, how much did you front APs cost?
I'm on another round of modding mine, instead of selling. Good times!

Gaz -
Battery was an Oddesey PC680 and available from BOB5 on here. Great price and service.
AP's were purchased from EARS Motorsport, cant remember the exact price if im honest as i had a whole heap of agro with Alcon at the time and a deal was done due to my troublesome issues.
Genuine APs kit with discs, bels, pads, calipers and lines. Also a set of Pagid RS29s as i hated the DS2500's. Approx £1600 IIRC.

Dry your eyes, mate. I've just come back from a sales meeting and half the senior management seem to be suffering from acute S.A.D. You'll pick up again in the new year I'm sure.

Does that not depend on the type of piston you use.
I asked Chy about opening up the combustion chamber to suit and he said that the custom Omega Piston that i am using is designed for the 2litre heads
Good spec you have there Frayz and i bet you can't wait to get it done even in this S.A.D period.

Keep soldering on there you know it makes sense.
If you are posting on here then that tells us you are not working hard enough in which case we (SN force) will come down there and crack the whip out
