Marmite because some will love it and some will hate it.

Sorry there has been no updates but there has been nowt to write about. I did say it was going to be a long project. The westfield has been taking all my time over the last few weeks with the engine out a couple of times and a wrecked gearbox. But that\'s nearly back together and ready for its last hurrah at abingdon in a couple of weeks. Then its FB time.

I went to the crystal palace today for the sprint. What a venue, I wish I had entered the westy. Anyway when I got home I started to take the brodie brittan kit off the rx. When the inlet manifold came off, for some reason I put my fingers in the inlet ports to find the engine is running a half bridge. I did some further digging and have found out that the engine was built by spike winter. Apparently he is/was a legend in the tuning field. Probably nothing to get excited about.

that broke "spike winter", a builder for TWR.
 last time, hear about him rebuilt a 13Bpp for a modify ford fiesta/mazda121 race car in the middle 90\'s.
how\'s RX7 5.7 V8 doing?

The v8 that runs in the wrong class wad 3rd in class I think from memory. To much other classic machinery to drool over than worry about that. It\'s not that quick though.
