Fuel filter arrived today, I wasted no time in fitting it and then after contemplating a wet bottom I saw a gap in the weather at about 8:30pm and decided to risk it to the local BP garage to fill it up. Only needed 5-6 gallons so I must of still had 2 gallon left from the original tank. Anyway it revved fine to 6k plus on the way there. All filled up and walking back to my car, "er, oops" I hadn't button down the bonnet catches, not a one of them, how the hell the bonnet stayed on at 70mph is beyond me. Note to self do not fit bonnet without using latches ever again.
Anyway I blasted up and down the bypass a few times taking it to the rev limit in the first four gears and it didn't miss a beat, I will check the plugs in the morning. Also I filled it up with BP Ultimate 97 ron and when I got home I chucked some redex in too, just in case.
Very pleased with it, feels planted at speed but the wind was trying to rip my helmet and goggles off!
Need to modify the wing stays, see if I can't get them rock solid.
