Default First start!

After four years, finally started the engine yesterday! It's a 2l silvertop zetec with 40mm Jenveys and an omex ecu, kit spares exhaust manifold and Yamaha R1 exhaust can. It's running on a base map provided by omex, so needs a rolling road session, but not bad!

I know if there's no video it didn't happen, so have look below!

Really got the enthusiasm to finish this thing now!

Cheers

Adrian

Looks amazing Adrian, great job

How much to do until it moves under its own power?
