Couple of steps closer. Got the sump on.



Clearance is miles better now so shouldnt be scraping any humps now.

Also got my charge piping in place.




Waiting on one last silicone T to for the dump valve and need a bottle of oil to refil and I can give it a whirl.

Cheers

Well it runs again!



I need to upload a new map to suit the injectors as they will be way rich on the old map.

Cheers

Made up a down-pipe to silencer pipe today.


Its all 2 1/4" up to the silencer then the silencer I have is 2"

Tossing up between cutting open this silencer and fitting 2 1/4" internals or get a full system made for my birthday next year.

Guess Ill see how long my patchwork pipe lasts!

Cheers
Stot

Got it out of the garage and onto the new 13" wheels this weekend. The wheels are skinier of course but the offset on them is putting them right in the centre of the rear arches so they have that period look to them.



Its a handfull maneouvering in this cold weather, but already I can feel the power comes in lower. I need to plumb the radiator back in as there is just a hose loop bypassing it at the moment so that I could get it back to the garage and then I can take it for a spin to see just where its coming in.

Cheers
Stot
