Just heard from Lee the new engine is all built up and installed along with gearbox, should have some pictures later, due to collect the car tuesday, my mapper is meetting me there and we are going to do a bit of street mapping, nothing crazy to start with, just let it all bed in for a couple of hundred miles then put some boost in it.

5" exhaust is finished, looks a work of art.









Not much in the way of baffles.

Interesting build. Mental as well.

Makes Matt Harwoods old yellow one look slow.

It runs and Lee told me the exhaust sounds evil

Leaving lee to do a few run in miles for me and change the oil again, picking it up tuesday.

"Baffles my arrrse! It's like the bloody Mersey Tunnel up there!"

That's an epic exhaust pipe. Reminds me of spoof eighties tv detective 'Mike Hammer' - (unscrewing a device from the end of his 44 magnum) "It's not a silencer. It's a loudener!" shoot

Oh, and Hi wavey
