Well it's a massive day tomorrow , going down to track and road for mapping with Mr Yellowshed !!!
It's been a long winter and not without some pain , but with some help from friends she is ready to go .... Phew biggrin

Now she just has to hold together on the dyno and it will be a great year.

At this moment I'm crapping myself biggrin

All the best mate, been there with previous cars and it shakes your nerves to pieces! It's bad enough when you're just having it mapped but when it's after you've rebuilt it yourself....

Good luck, just from reading what you have done to it, it is going to be one hell of a car.

Oh, yes.

I really wanted to be able to give her a good clean after picking her back up from Jetstream today, but I also needed to go and get some big brown trousers and ran out of time....

Please let them both come back in one piece!

Good luck to you both, the worst bit will be when you turn the key to start up in the morning praying nothing has gone wonky overnight.

Sounds to me like you've done great things with your engine, Tux. Stuff I only dream about. Try to kick back and enjoy the day, and then kick back a few beerdrink by the end of the day.

We're all waiting to hear your results. type ------ readit

Hi Bill , engine was a team effort by Jetstream and Martin Cheetham , without there help I would have been right in the smelly biggrin
Spec is the same as quite a few guys only major difference is Race heads by Ian Holloway and some ceramic coating along with a lot of work on the bottom end from Martin .
Must remember to put my brown trousers out tonit biggrin Tux

Si that means It will spit n splutter if you have to fill up in a tiny back street fuel station in France. I blame the demise of my engine on that station.

Well anything to make me feel better. Couldn't possibly be due to the fact of how I drove it. ;-)
