I was wondering what was happening with this seen as you have been quiet for a while.. looking good !

So you did away with the mds dis-4 and now have the autronic cdi instead ? The coils are a nice touch !
Cheers,
Damion.

Hi Damion,

The Dis 4 went very early on when it was thought to be the source of a missfire. The 500r is definately a much nicer cdi

Cheers,

Phil.

Ahh I see.

I missed the bit about the 10 sec pass.. I think it should definately be acheiveable and if you can achieve it in street / circuit trim that will be awesome !

Goodluck,
Damion.

The big 'C' strikes again Not the boost abuse that I suspected was the culprit of the forced retirement[;^)] Not bad for 10 years of abuse

Once this lot are done...thats it!! Its got to be perfect this time round!! The original paint was meant to be a quick tidy up to get it on the road...10 years later the final job is being completed

The engine is out getting a tickle...I think the engine will be ready before the rest of the car so I might end up with a living room centre piece...just dont tell the wife[:p]
