Must be a proud moment to see your creation spark into life for the first time.

Thanks guys.

It didnt really sink in, I know I had a stupid grin on my face when it first ran.

Been itching to get back to do some more work on it since.
Hoping to start tidying up and finishing bits off tomorrow.

Waiting in intercooler pipes and exhaust parts at the moment so will concerntrate on everything else.

Not my sort of colour but that's a hell of a build and it sounds good.

What EMS are you running?

I thought i recognised the graphing on your laptop screen. Nice one!!

That sounds great! A cross between a bike engine, a flat four and a V8.

Tempted to add a little drain tap

Unexpectedly got the afternoon with the car, few silly little jobs sorted, reg plate, and some less silly jobs - oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temp sensors all plumbed and wired to ecu.
Alternator wiring finished off.

Various other bits done, nice to spend time pottering and not trying to achieve a particular goal.

So yesterday I was suppose to map one car early morning and then meet CJ to work on the car... well as with most things when it comes to cars it didnt go to plan and I arrived at the car to meet CJ at 6pm, some 7hours late.. oops.....

To find that CJ had fitted linkage, prop, changed gearbox oil and made the exhausts!! just need tail pipes adding to finish off, and he had dropped the car to the floor.. many many thanks mate.

It looks so so different now its sitting on the floor and so I had to drive 2cars lengths just to check it could under its own steam lol.

It is difficult to judge being inside with a concrete floor but it seems very loud and now with a stainless exhaust wrasp to it.. me like lol but need more silencers I suspect.

Thanks also to Justin who also came up but no idea what he did (sorry) as he left before I even arrived lol.

So we then fitted the door windows and front bumper, lights and had a mass tidy up.. some pics

Reminds me of the "Gobstopper" that the guy's at Roger Clark Motorsport created.

Nice work Simon.

[Evil.soup]

Wonderful in almost every possible way!!





Not sure if it would look better with standard lights though?????

[JollyGrnMonster]

I also prefer standard lighte but they are heavier and allow less clearance although I think I could get then in.

Intercooler pipework started.


Relatively happy with drivers side, although havent added flares and clamps yet, might try and different route for passenger side. Also intend measuring to try and get both sides similar in length.

But regardless it is nearly there and workable. Might once car is running get some ally pipes welded with less joins than my ally and sillicone pipes even though this lot cost a fortune lol.

Simon

I completed intercooler pipework today and pretty happy with it now.

Bumper back on
