Nice one Darren - looks fantastic. Get plenty of heat shield in there!

Big old primaries on those headers - will you be ok for silencing? Mine was borderline even with 4 mini silencers under the bonnet - are you doing something other than just the Challenge style single box at the side?

Well if it works for him it should be ok for yours!

Would love to see it when finished - will you be doing the final TVR round at Oulton, as we're there the same day with Fun Cup?

I'm going to run it on the hollinger box that was in it but it's only rated for 550 bhjp so it's going to be on the limit !
