Lola mazda  rebuild drags on and on hence but its not been a worry  as $$ is tight and i have been busy with other car projects no updates
The car is in a shop having exhaust made since last winter and after some chasing for updates  im told the car has fired up today first time but the starter is  causing a problem due to flywheel being wrong type ie underneath motor as opposed to on top starter motor so new flywheel is being sourced
Hopefully in 10 days time  its all sorted out and car can then go onto rolling road dyno  for power run then i hope to have car ready to do a shake down test after that I will see how much $ is left to maybe do a race somewhere

Excellent - any idea which race series you\'re thinking or racing in?

I have now collected the car with a dyno sheet so now i know where the power is/ is not!
the motor  is a bridge port 13b  with 200 bhp and a good torque curve not  a  peripheral port motor that would have 270-300 bhp and has the 48 ida weber not athe larger carb
 Plan is to now get the seat belt/seat fitting sorte dout fiddle with afew other things like geaometry set up and look to do a shake down test
 I can race the car in a few Historic race car series
Orwell Supersports Masters proto 70`s and the French run Classis endurance series at various  circuits through out Europe plus i can do some Sports GT race events in the UK but they tend to have the modern sports cars or radicals galore in them
 I have found a  fledgling french race series  for  sports cars of any age that may be of interest to me

The first thing is to run the car see what it can do then decide if i need to spend more money on the canine gonads of a motor to beat the Cossy BDG & BMW 300 hp cars
