Of course Dom! Got the engine bay complete today and all sprayed, actually impressed with the way it turned out although you can't see it in the pictures. Got most of the engine cleaned down too, and sprayed up, the silver I got looks more like primer though so will have to redo that...

I relocated it to under the glove box in my old car and used the stalks. Easy enough to do and also relocate the display to on top of the steering cowling or that area!

What spacers?

Yes :)

Buying parts second hand will help a lot too, so far for a £4500 SC conversion I've paid £2000, all I've gotta do now is fit and get it mapped. I've saved myself £2000!

Anywhere that wells wheels on eBay

£50/60 on the Bay dude, fairly sure I paid less than that though?

Yea just needs flipping. Was it pushed all the way back as your hanger in that photo isn't. If not just cut it an inch shorter!

Yea you need to flip it over so the arm points to the rear of the car

The longer arm is a separate bracket that came with Magnex systems. That one is fitted wrong though, needs to point to the rear.

Hardly any companies do third party cover any more, my mum is 50 and hers doesn't cover it at all. Also you can't have two policies so will need to go on your dads insurance to drive it

Only if you have the keys and decoder ring for that ECU.

Yea and I can do it in about 5-6 hours if you need it done.

This engine is temporary but it's having belts done and being made too look nice as I hope to get a years work out of it. I will then slowly save a nice fund to build the engine I want to the perfect spec. Don't worry about money Finny, I never had disposable income but just scrimped and saved...

Got the engine on the stand and all stripped ready for a good clean up on Thursday. Also excited to get my powder coated bits on and have a tarty looking engine ;) Also got the flywheel dropped off at Shcolar this morning, £45 for a flywheel lighten and balance!

Your the first person to ever think XS Power stuff is good. It's all cheap tosh

You will see small gains from this, more torque than power, could for a few extra figures. Only worth it if engine out though

You know nothing about it though?

Battery is in my spare wheel well but that's all my N/A setup. That filter will be gone when the Rotrex is fitted. I don't know if there are any gains, I'd imagine there is the tiniest of gains yes, but noticeable, no. Also moves stuff around so a lot more space around the front of the bay.

Thanks lads, cage isn't going to be green ;) engine bay is all black and silver, unsure on final hose colour too

Sooo was up at 6 for F1 so was outside by 9 sorting the garage out and got the car into place by 930, I got some pre photos of the things that are likely to change! Some kitchen roll to block some holes with some very true words for today And then the engine out in dead in 2 hours...

I may need your passenger seat Dan ;)

Mine today before it came out And now

Selling due to a tappet being a bit tappy? The engine in mine has been like that for three years on and off, it's not worth selling over!

I'll take it your a little groggy from getting up early to watch F1, it's not like you to be wrong, especially about a car you've just bought ;)

I wont be doing it i don't reckon but I'll bring the camera, I'm sure spectators can go on cant they?

Both 197!

Day out up there then?

This gives me ideas ;)

So, its that difficult month again where the weather could be either way. We've had a Trackday, pub meet and airfield meet over the last few months so just wondering what else is there that anyone wants to do. North Weald meet was brilliant in March so I know we won't be topping it, I don't...
