Il have to sit down Ryan and work it all out but I'm sure I could have bought a nice M3 on a late plate but something I've always wanted to do and we know we only live once .

Decals have been tweaked today and are going on on Monday so keep watching for pics early next week.

Got a little run to stoke soon to see PPG gearbox I have bought then on the look out for a CDB for the start of a nice engine build then the car will be complete but that's later this year going to enjoy what I have got a few weekends away with the boys to sample a few tracks.

Spent the last hour going through this and I'm well impressed. You've done an awesome job mate, wish I had the time/money/knowledge to be able to do this myself.

The helix clutch is a paddle clutch as in pic below Jura


I then set too cleaning off the paint pots where the fuel rails fit as the rubber O ring was a little tight



Need to find a gauge for FPR but have the small bung for now


Injectors are now fitted and manifold is hooked up to parallel fuel rails



Hopefully fitting clutch tommorow then exhaust and regulator then a call to Duncan for last map then geometry to set up and testing at Blyton very soon
