I'm delighted to say that bought it from Dean and it arrived on my driveway in Scotland last night. What a car it is too!

Lol yeah just the couple of hundred Dean had taken for Collecting. Cars 😂
Short start up vid too. Taken me a couple of goes to trust the cold start up. Turns out I just need to turn the key until it catches and leave it to settle for 20 seconds. Anything else floods it. It’s lumpy until warm as it’s got a replacement cam and there’s a bit of lope on it. Once it’s warm though what a beast.

All normal with big cam and probably higher flow injectors maybe.
Do not touch the throttle unless your de flooding it with fuel pump disconnected is the best advice I’d say.
Best not to flood it so it should work fine using ecu to determine air flow rate until it’s fired and ran a few seconds.
The overlap won’t help the mix until it’s warm so yeah.
Great car sir you must be over the moon.

Zener Didn’t Oli own those wheels?

Try slapping a 5k resistor across the engine temp sensor- makes the ECU think then engines warmer than it is so reduces the fuel (assuming its still 14CUX). Wont affect the hot running at all.

Fabulous! This car is going to be a lot of adventures and a lot of learning
