Finishing a few bits tonight, the header tank and water system is complete, all oils and water are in, we DID attempt to start
her up but there was an earth problem on the fuseboard which has been sorted and we ran out of jump-pack power, all
on charge for tomorrow.  :D

The water system is all now finished.

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Hi all,

Just taking a bit of time, we have to amend the gearbox temp sensor housing slightly so will take a few more
days, the new cooler is now on though.

In the meantime we\'ve fitted the boost solenoid and boost lines, the engine bay is now virtually finished.

Looks absolutely stunning. You can\'t possibly actually drive this car - it\'ll get all dirty in there ;):D

Right, the third geabox cooler (better quality with higher pressure rating) is on and runs up to temp nicely together
with the new oil, we\'ve sorted a few minor leaks too.

The car is now over at Horsham Developments for the corner weighting and full suspension set up.

Before I took it there yesterday we got him running on all the rotors properly and this is what happens with a
fair bit of over-fueling together with the car being up to temp at last. (bad quality vid as was on a phone)
