Build ongoing, started August last year. Just finished changing the engine from a BMW 2.8 to a Jag 3.0 - I'm now back where I was in early September - brake lines!

Talking
95% of donor stripped and deposit down for chassis and wishbones.

At the beginning of a long road (especially between work, little ones and keeping the wife happy by not spending too much time in the garage), but loving it... so far at least!

The spool up time must be about a week on that thing, lol

I gave up on the turbo idea after deciding:
a. I couldn't be ar5ed
b. I didn't want to spend any more money on the car... and
c. it's quick enough for me as it is

All fair points.

I wanted more low down power in mine, it couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding below 4k so im hoping my small turbo will help that.

Mines the same, I just try to keep it above 4k
It reminds me of an old 2 stroke Yamaha with a broken power valve I once had.
As you opened the throttle you got nothing...nothing...nothing...nothing...WHEELIE!!!
Great fun
