Went to see the FC yesterday, and its very nearly there. It has a couple of wiring jobs to do and fit the relocated battery. I cant say how excited I am as its been 2 years since I drove it last.
Might have to get a spec list put together.
Many thanks to Era for storing it and Tim Gray for fettling it. Im so impressed with the work he has done especially as this is the first FC he has ever worked on. Hats off to the man

looks awesome. Have you removed loads of stuff (other than the battery) from the engine bay? The intercooler pipes look like it ws an extremely easy fit!

Thanks for the comments. I need to get some exterior pics but it hasnt been cleaned for 2 years so im going to wait til I get it back and put on the rega\'s.
Stu is right, air con and power steering have been removed, and the water system has been fettled with also.

Im not sure? is the current set up no good then?

Well its just a common mod when removing the airpump and ACV. The V belts are known for slipping causing the waterpump to not pump correctly leading to hot dead engine. This is mainly at high revs though so don\'t be too scared just yet. The mod is just fitting a double pully to the alternator and running 2 belts so there is more friction/drag on the pullies. I think PDTaylor has a pully going cheap at the moment too

Oh I see, thanks. Any pics of this mod done please? will give Pete a teletext.

This is the pulley I have on mine. I don\'t have any pics of mine to hand but its the same as this.

Just got to check with Tim as my alternator has been spaced further away from the block due the RE throttle body so not sure if that will work.
