luv the plates. That'le take the guesswork out of things for people you demolish at the lights lol.

So good to hear you have had a drive, even if its a short test. With that much torque in such a light car, I can only imagine how it pulls.. But what I'm imagining feels awesome.[88]

I have been meaning to say how refreshing your project is.
Great number plates for the RS. I bet the wife is in the good books.
Good luck with it.

I have a bit to do before it relly gets up and goes, It is almost running in limp mode still with only one O2 sensor pluged in and the air coming from the supercharger is so hot i cant hold my hand on the outlet pipe. I have to get the intercooler plumbed up, there should be lots of HP to be gained there also. Then it might be more impresive[:u][:u][:p][:p]
I managed to get the O2 sensor pluged in today, have to see if it makes a differance[:I][:I]. made up new front bumper brackets that wont interfear with the intercooler piping.
Im still avoiding starting on the wireing loom.[B)][:I] I need 2 days dedicated to it and get it all done in one sitting[%]

I will give a bit of an update, Not that there is much to tell.[8~2]
I have all the intercooler pipeing and the TIG welder to weld them up when i get a chance. The engine has devaloped a problem with the ignition so i wont run at the moment. (think it could be in the loom or the crank angle sensor) I have been flat out at work and at home building another section of shed to give myself a better working inviroment.[%]
Other than that i have just been colecting more ideas about all the things i haven't done yet and the things that i am not happy with sofar.
Next is to remove the motor again to to aort out a few minior issues and build the wireing loom. build the intorcooler pipeing and get it fitted and build a proper peddle box for the brake and clutch set up. I am almost getting back to the point i can spend some more time on the project. I will be endevering to get it to SFS in feb so stay tuned. In all honesty, the wireing is by far the biggest job to do thou. I will keep every one posted when i get it moving forward again.

Well after chasing the electrical gremilin it turned out to be a mis adjusted crank angle sensor rubbing on the trigger wheel and left a few deposits of metal shavings on the sensor upsetting the signal to the ECU. Seems to be all sorted now, even thou it is still running like a dog, I have put that down to 8 month++ old fuel (I hope [:I])
So now that it is running i have removed the loom and have started on rebuilding it at last. Should have it done over the next couple of week i hope.
SFS-2008 is looking good so far[:p]

Well i have made a good start on rebuilding the car loom fitting a new fuse box in the kick Panel and adding relays to the lights and other circuits. once this is done i will move onto rebuilding the engine loom and grafting that into the car aswell.[B)]
