Nice work Michael...I assume that fan does turn clockwise ie as you look at it ie "suck"... just looks like it should run the other way

Fly like a v6
 
howdo chaps!

well just a lilttle diary update :) recived my suspension brackets from Talonmotorsport very nice! and my rack extensions from
Dave @ rogue engineering nice bit of kit too :-P

but the real bargain lies here . i managed to get my engine in a complet running order with gearbox, loom ,ecu, flywheel, clutch ,sensors the lot! for......£60!! also got my gear remote so i have been sitting in pretending to change gear!! ;-)



Dont ask how that got in there!! it was difficult!



start of stripdown , oh and the engines only do 70k!



I have some big development plans for this engine, which i will probably regret having "too" much power haha but more power more fun right ?

thank you :) , erm well as a young bloke i have no colour co-ordination. i did want the car lime green! but we will see haha knowing me i will have it lime green and keep the engine blue haha!

although! my inlet plenums are going to be white (the ones pictured) and then the center air runner that will be yet again blue :)

I think it will look good :)
