Have you managed to get your's started yet David?

Not yet. The fuel pipes that I got off eBay need to go back as they were just sent in a plastic bag and are full of dents. Looks like the postman sat on it!

Thanks guys, I did indeed have a big grin
I had a little bit of excitment just before that too. Ran the fuel pump to get the fuel rail pressurised in preperation, and it turned out one of my injectors wasn't seated properly, resulting in a petrol fountain! Tried to make a start on the exhaust today, but the bearings went in my angry grinder... and shortly afterwards I managed to break my last jigsaw blade trying to cut an exit hole in my side panel

John,
On the fuel rail which of the fuel tubes is the input and which is the exit? I was going to select the one with the small regulator as the exit. Hoping this is right. I was thinking that if yours started you must have had them the correct way around. David

Hi David,
That's right - the one at the rear near the regulator is the exit. I went on mx5nutz and asked that very same question just to make sure!

You had me worried all afternoon Kev, turns out my massive shaft fits perfectly though
 I was just thinking this morning I hadn't seen you on here for a while Chris! I'm still a little way from the first test drive yet. I need to get the clutch and brakes working, make the exhaust system, and stop it p!ssing coolant all over the place  Really looking forward to blasting up and down my drive though!
