Cheers Ty, It should be easy in theory[%] All the mods are tested and proven so its a case of stripping it all down and making it sparkle again. The only changes are to the engine internals seeing as the external bolt on combo has now been finalised It will be ice to have interior trim again after all these years #227

After the throttle linkage change the 3D Cold Start map is out and its gone back to really severe coughing and farting. So I will give it to them to time it and get it running well. It just a bugger that I have to pay gain to get it flat bed trailered over to them. #232

Do you have any planned engine specs that you wish to share at this point ? I saw your post about the escos inlet manifold, why not try custom making something still retaining the original runners ? I have noticed a few people using the 'sweedish' style manifold.. but i haven't found any back to back tests with one fitted. Cheers, Damion #235

The torque plate ensures the bores will be perfectly round when the head is bolted back on. This is how it came back from the profile cutters #238

Its low km and never been machined since new but has had a piston melt under it...easy to repair[;^)] Im not sure if I want to go to the YBP rocker cover although it nicely conceals my new coilpack setup and will add to the new clean lines in the engine bay. Other than that I have redesigned my strut brace brackets but haven't welded them in yet.Maybe this weekend will se a bit more done.The roll cage will be the next big job to do #240
