Look what I found in a barn
 

Well I took this picture of my car when I was in York two weeks ago and it has more engine in the cabin than the bay but now we are seeing some progress :D

The new 2.33ltr engine has just been built up and work is now well on the way to get the heads sorted. Although the car has doormant for a while due to lack of funds, it now looks like it will be all set for a new return in time for SSO. The car will have a new Syvecs ecu in place by then and hopefully a nice big meths map to keep me happy. It should be fun driving this at SSO as it will be the 1st time behind the wheel in a year so I expect some bottling on the couple of runs until I get used to it again

looking good there steve:thumb:


i dont think you will be the only one bottle-ing it:D



it looks low at the back end:wonder:is it full of food:Suspiciou

Looking very tidy, you must be itching to get it back on the road:thumb:

Its full of parts and the car doesn't have an engine :)

c,mon get a move on steve,ive been dying to whip your butt.:lol1:

Arf not on a public forum, as for cars you are gonna get your arse handed to you ;) It will be like we were next to each other at York ;)

ooh carnt wate.:D
is the car up and running yet steve and are you sticking to methanol or you going for the full blown race fuel.?

The engine has only just been built, a nice shinny new 2.35ltr block and I was hoping for a 20/30% meths map with a bottle of NF added but its not my call :D

looking forward to seeing it out being used and abused again soon Steve.

Simon

The funny thing is I bet SSO will be the 1st time I drive the car in anger for over a year so it will be fun :D

Arf,

just remember, "You're only supposed to blow his doors off !"...

Just nail the first run, then the racing excuses can be let loose.

:lol1::lol1:

dunx

Steve what power are you hoping for?

Banny

Why's your car in York with you somewhere else?

TX.

Its in york as thats where the work is being done to the car

Banny, I have no ideas on power but It can't be that much different to before as not that much has changed so say plus or minus 600bhp??

good luck with it steve,

Steve dont forget your driving gloves :) could add at least 10/10ths to your times.

Gussy, we'll see how well the new gloves will cope on SSO. I even have a race suit as well :)

Well here is a couple more pictures of some progress :D

Nice job the first picture looks like it was taken in my first wife bedroom

you gunna be ready for the shootout then steve,looks like theres quite a bit to do yet and its coming up fast.

Steven hassaid it will be ready :) It will be funny seeing you in my rear view ;)

are scooby heads held on with studs and bolts as opposed to a one piece bolt?

I'm more part of the £££ side but I'm sure someone can clear that up :)

why, will i be parked behind you in the car park.:D
hope it all goes as planned this time for you mate as i for one know what problems you had with your old motor.let the good times roll.:thumb:

Original are bolts, but upgrade to studs a good thing for over 450

Just glancing at picture on phone looks like oversize 14mm studs too ;)

Not taking any chance for heads lifting this time :D

Simon, correct they are RCMS 14mm studs. Wont use anything else now above 450.

I am pulling out all the stops to get this ready for SSO.
