Wicked thread, how  much time have you dedicated to her so far?

[Wav]

Well you guys will be pleased to know that she started on the first turn of the key with both rotors running:cool , but then we stalled her after about two mins while trying to bleed the power steering:rolleyes: So now she is flooded on 3 1/2 month old optimax:(. We\'re just cleaning and heating the plugs now and we put some booster and new optimax in, so fingers crossed:)

Oh and i think the neighbours are going to love us if it starts now:eek: , Wav;)

Congratulations mate

Glad to hear everything went well.

She\'s alive:bandit 10litres of new optimax, a whole bottle of octane boost and a set of brand new spark plugs and she started first turn of the key after allowing the petrol to evaporate out of the chambers over night:bandit

Has been left idling for an hour now while we put the bumper on etc, my god does that nurspec exhaust with full 3inch straight through cat replacement sound awesome have only ever heard it run on one rotor before, lol:rolleyes:

Cheers for the advice and positive feedback i\'ve had form everyone on the boards:D

Just have to go for a test run in now:cool , Paul:)
